I think you'll find Chuckles that in order for a TV to watch soccer to work, you first need an electricity outlet.

Bigtobz - ye of staunch airport fame  but little faith - Reefton was the first place in NZ to have electric street lights so I'm sure Westport will have power by now.
 
I'd reckon, Chuckles, that some of the British miners who came out to NZ a year or two back might have had a pint or two at a Westport pub by now, if you can find out which pub you might be in for a good night of football and banter. Good luck!
 
At some point we'll need a Fever guide to NZ with all the football pubs marked on it.

Dammit! I hate being proven wrong... Although for such an 'innovative' national centre it seems progress has largely stalled...
