Personally would love to see Nix utilise the preseason to get around the country a lot more - home games not in Welly are hard to allocate during the season, so why not make a blast of it in the preseason? Could easily take the team to a few regional cities that don't usually see pro level football (Hamilton, Nelson, Napier, Dunedin?), play against the best local club side, promote the heck out of the games, build a regional rapport and get a much more valuable early preseason than just playing Olympic and Miramar for the 100th time...
It's a good chance to see who gets the crowds for home games away from home too!
