If you are correct [even a crowd in the late 10s, what does that tell us? That the crowds will come if we are a winning side. How do you get a winning side? Get the right coach and the right players. Would be interesting to know what this year's wage bill is versus previous years to see if there is any correlation - $$$ may not be the total answer [which we probbaly suspect anyway].

My guess is this team is cheaper than the past few years, potentially the lowest wage bill in the league (depending on whether or not McCormack returns to CCM). Rudan said in the press early in the season (or before the season started) that recruitment has been tough and he's left money in the budget for January.

Possibly based on his vast EPL experience and character.

But he was signed from a League One side.

I recall Rudan saying he had bigger money offers than us but wanted to make a difference, I think Taylor himself also said he could have gone to the championship.

It'll take me 40mins to walk to Eden park (Live real close to ACFC home ground).

It's a $5 uber if I'm legless ?

You could not make this up..... I just rang ticketmaster, their answer machine said that they operate 9am-9pm Monday to Friday and 9am-5pm on Saturday and said they were closed and disconnected the call. Time is 17:05 or 5 past 5pm. WTF Ticketmaster, it's Friday, you should still be working!!

A heap of organisations don't work their normal working hours over the 'holiday period', understandably. Preferably they would update the message on the phone though.

I think Feverbot should make a bid to run Ticketmaster.  It's work ethics are legendary.

Given this news, I assume what has happened is that Eden Park were desperate enough to accept an "affordable" offer from the Nix.

Can anyone recommend a good bar that I should contact near Mt Eden to see if they will host us? We were at the Faltering Fullback for the last two games at Eden Park, but google tells me it is closed.

Closest is the Kingslander, who would probably be happy to host.

F Bar is close, cheap pints but a bit dingy for some - I love it.

Morningside Tavern isn't too far. 

Clare Inn on Dominion Road might do it

Kingslander or Neighbourhood (Macs bar) on the same road as the faltering fullback. A bit smaller but Portland Public House is also there.  Kingslander probably better suited. Clare Inn on dominion road is similar distance on the other side of Eden park.

On the other hand if you like great beer Flight 605 would be the ticket. They've even stocked 433 at times. Smaller than the Good George place in Hamilton. 

Passing thought- where is the new Garage Project pub and surely some sponsor hook ups?

Just to add options 4 and 5!

Garage Project in Auckland is just a cellar door no actual pub (yet)

Portland Public House is the best bar in the area probably, The Kingslander or Neighbourhood also all good and have more of a sports bar vibe - perhaps more suited to Fever buffoonery.

A lot of the stores put on tastings and events- it is the sponsors, beer taps and very close to Eden Park...just a thought

My mate's the operations manager for other businesses they run. It's a fairly new place in the Morningside Precinct - next to Crave. Decent joint and not too far from Eden Park. I might see if I can rustle a few football buddies to come along.
