Averaging 5,809 this season with last two games at Westpac being 4,594 and 4,806. (That I think were fudged) We would have been lucky to see 4,000 in Wellington as well.

I actually heard some radio advertising for this game the other day! It was a GrabOne advert but still.

Anyway, where's the place to watch this game in Welly? I'd booked tickets to come down from Auckland for it before it was moved.

Downstairs at Four Kings. Hurricanes Friday and Warriors play before the Phoenix so you should even get commentary on.

Heard that as well, tickets for 9 bucks. Less then a beer at a poncy Auckland pub.

How much are you Wellington folk paying?

You guys are getting ripped!,

Then again even at 9 bucks we may struggle to beat your season average

I remember a few years ago watching the NIx play the under 20's in a kick  about at north harbour. Tickets were 10 bucks

4000 turned up

If there is any less than that this Saturday then someone does need to walk the plank

Will be a tough sell with the Warriors in hot form on the other side of town. What is our lowest crowd? The game in Dunedin before the students arrived?

Lowest overall was 3,060 for the game against Heart in Dunedin 2013. Lowest at Westpac is 3,898 v Perth Glory in 2012 and lowest at QBE was our game there last month with 4,672 against the Jets.

Also lowest ever at QBE was 1,632 by the NZ Knights v CCM back in 2006

Four Kings a good option if you're in central city.

My recollection is there were actually under 600 at that Knights game. #HotbedOfFootball

I got into this with Balbi at the Newcastle game. He swore the lowest attendance at NHS was 1600 while I was sure that there was one Knights game with 527 attendance.

There was a Knights game that had 804 people v Newcastle in 2006 but I didn't include it above as it was a preseason game

Reliable sources said they claimed it was 1500-1600ish publicly but actually it was something like 597.

I could believe that and it continues to this day with the Nix

Shark stadium, shark weather, shark results and the Warriors in top form playing on the same night. The only thing that may work in the Nix favour is that it's school holidays tomorrow.

Also, the lads may play out of their skins to impress the new coach-candidate

They really should have been doing this since Greenie took over.. So it might be too late for them.
