The Nix played at FB years ago (Roar?) the crowd was tiny, and all the post match stuff I read was it was big mistake not having the game when the students were back
Similar to Highlanders you’d tie it in somehow to the Orientation festivities
All moot though. Dome seems keen on games in ChCh going off the podcast recently. It’s a bigger population and commercial market than Dunners after all, and the club apparently have a good existing relationship with Mainland Football

I was at that Roar game!
IIRC, it was the first event at FB since it opened and it was packed with people mostly wanting to see the new stadium rather than how the Nix were looking in preseason. We lost about 6-1, and I think we had both Maceo Rigters and Billy Mehmet trialing with us before other sides snapped them up.
Memories!
That was the same match Ifill, at the time, became our all-time leading goalscorer.
Sorry my bad, I meant the December 2011 Roar fixture, forgot we versed them at FB in preseason as well.
Annoyingly it was Mehmet who ended up taking that Glory finals game to extra time where we obviously know what happened.
