NPC Final - Auckland vs Canterbury (free entry)
-
Making the game free is a good choice because the ground was basically empty for the semi final. If Aucklanders won’t turn up to a free game then they’ll never turn up. Don’t know why they persist with Eden Park for the NPC, atmosphere must be close to zero with such spartan crowds. It’s where the NH puts the SH to shame.
Good game from Akira, what more does he need to do?

Ask Steve to increase the squad size to one hundred and twenty.

About 6,000 there. They are all in one stand, so if the camera is on another stand it looks completely empty.
6k is not bad for the NPC. Many times more people than showed up for Waikato Northland

Why don't the use a smaller stadium though? 6000 in a 15'000 looks way better than 6'000 in a 60'000.

No other stadia in Auckland that I can think of. There are some that could handle a few thousand, but none that will get you 6-10k

Because who gives a fuck what it looks like in TV? Eden Park is great stadium to watch rugby at, and I went to the harbour game and it had a good atmosphere.

Good for you.
It looked bloody awful on the highlights being empty everywhere. Hardly made me want to watch a heap of games. Less viewing audience = less marketable = less money = more players overseas = kirwan finally gives a fuck

@higgins Yeah or maybe even somewhere like Gribblehirst Park wouldn't be a bad bet.

Simple solution for people that like watching crowds instead of the actual rugby, they put the cameras on the other stand and show the thousands of people in the only stand they open.

Gribblehirst is my favouritist rugby ground ever.
But there's no (or hardly any) (at least there weren't) any bleachers/stands.
Could get a little muddy when in rained too ... just a little ...

Final will be an odd experience I think, given every neutral fan is going to be cheering for Auckland. When's that happened before?
Since we have been shti for ages, and Canterbury has been dominant.
You Number 1, everyone hates you. This is one of life's rules
