Knitters = "Auckland City Knitting Circle" = those ACFC fans who oppose the Nix in particular and NZ teams playing in Australian competitions in general, on the basis that it takes valuable players, funding and media attention away from the ASBPrem in general and ACFC in particular. The people who do anti-Nix chants at ACFC games and come on here to tell us how much our "Aussie" team sucks.
"Knitting circle" comes, I think, from the image of a bunch of bitter old crones gossiping.
