17-18k+ is ON.

Take season ticket holders (not included in PAX) + walk-up crowd + sunny day + kids go free + potentially winning the league.

I really hope that if we get the big crowd today for this game which will probably mean nothing, they don't go home deflated and not interested in coming to the home semifinal, which is really what we need the RoF packed out for.

Go Nix.

 It's a fair point - just score a couple of goals, be ahead at the 80th minute, and hopefully the Fever zone can create a buzz that brings the casuals back on 18th May. Ultimately it's about the "fan experience" (which ironically is why the stadium plays loud music that irks the hardcore)

The loud music irks almost everyone

David Ball to score the goal that both wins us the game and the plate for his first goal of the season.

He's just been biding his time waiting for a moment worthy enough

That's right!

20U is the majority of the tickets in that 9 aisles (my maths wasn't that great so its a little bit more than 120) so yes the fever will be absolutely packed today

Is there any possibility this match will actually “sell out” meaning people will be turned away at the gate?

Not a chance unfortunately. Would need about 20k people to walk up which won’t happen

Yeah, if we sell out the available bays, they will just open more you’d imagine

I wasn’t meaning filling every seat at the venue. Is there actually any chance of an artificial sell out? That would cause all sorts of issues….

No; they would never limit the attendance. They’ll open as many aisles as they need. 
Club has been clear that they are looking for 21k so they’ll be prepared for capacity Im sure.

I may be mistaken but someone asked about radio commentary for A-League this week (may have been in general) and the answer was no

PAX for the waitangi game was around 8k a couple hours before the game and we got to 12k. So I’m thinking we actually might be able to get close to 18k today!

Just finished this weeks pod while waiting for my flight from Kirikiriroa. Absolutely fizzing now. Not sure how I meant to sit still for the next hr.
