And for that reason I'm out.

Aren't 4 games better than no games?

Yes, I suppose they are. But there is no way that the seven members of my family who currently buy season passes would continue to do buy them. A couple of years ago four of us went to the Dunedin game- no change from $1k. We love our football, but not to the point of bankruptcy. BTW, it is a Wellington team, a massive part of the appeal, and a travelling roadshow is anathema to football....as if you'd ever see Real Spain, or Lancashire Liverpool, or London Fulham etc.?

Memberships are everything, we keep being told- well in that instance it's minus 7.

But your ‘season ticket’ would only get you 4 home games in your chosen centre, so would be quite cheap.

Not many would take up the national season ticket option I should think.

The issue really is would Wellington people retain the level of support for a team they don’t see at ‘home’ very often.

But if the approach gains more non-Wellington people than people it loses in Wellington, then it’s a winner overall I guess.
