[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 731259, member: 71618"] Yeah, Rugby is an ingrained culture in Christchurch, the support there has never wavered at all and I don't think it's gone down this year anymore than a successful season for them. The consistency of Auckland and Wellingtons fans is poor. There's no excuse for it or justification, given their resources and population AND the times the games are played (weekends). I watch soccer/football and in every country the stadiums are packed and in the minor lower leagues, even in their mid week games. You won't find a spare seat in a lot of EPL games and there's 38 of them a season + cup competitions and tournaments and the support is outrageous. It really puts Rugby support in perspective and I'm currently sickened by the yuppy crowd in Wellington suddenly flooding along because the team made the play-offs... [/QUOTE]
