What a bonus in having Hometown ref your final.
How short are Auckland to win?
$1.70
Canterbury is at $2.05.See @KiwiMurph. Auckland’s to lose

An average crowd for an Auckland game at Eden Park would be around the 10,000 mark. On Saturday there could be at least twice, if not three times, as many there.
Not sure where McKendry is getting those numbers from?
The biggest crowd in the round robin was the North Harbour game. That was reported as being 5801
10k would be a small SR crowd

Maybe the average from the dawn of time of Eden park?

Awesome that it's free, unless the weather is absolutely awful I'm going to bring the family along. Never to early to get the 2 month old boy into rugby, and would be nice for my 5 year old to see Auckland actually win a game live (every Blues game we've attended they've lost).

Weather looks a bit dodge I think

It says showers, like it does most days, the forecast seems to change on a regular basis. Will make a judgement call on the day

think it is a great marketing ploy, assume ARU got thier Corporate Sponsors on board too, plus others who will want to be in on Finals Action (again, assume most 'packages' wont have included a final?)
More bums on seats, more eye balls looking at sponsor logos.

@no-quarter if both metvuw and metservice say rain, I'd expect it to be wet

Free entry a magnanimous gesture but can't help but think they've devalued their product, or, "product" to, well, zero. "It's worthless, just come in." Can see next year punters saying "why should I pay at the gate for this regular game when the big final was free? Why have they decided to charge now for something they deemed as worthless before?"
Or it’s a reward for the fans for a great season you grumpy fuck.

@kiwimurph oh really? That is rubbish, they have pretty much shown all games live all season and in the last few weeks they have been dropping all bar one or two games with replays not screening until mid week.

It will probably have a good impact on vendors at the ground. Didn’t pay for tickets, I’ll spend plenty on food, drinks etc.
The other thing is the fear of people staying home because the ABs test match is on around straight after - so another great marketing ploy to show the test at the ground after the final.
