1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty,

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: local and global exposure like no other. Maybe with thirty

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: seconds to go, the Super Sovis done it again and

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: all plants are going to go home with the three points.

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Probably standing out would be probably James. You know, obviously

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: the club has bought him for everything.

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: That he brings.

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 4: You know, my father was the other day of the accident,

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: and you know there was an image that was created

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 4: and his and stilled in his head of a young

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 4: disabled girl. And in that moment when Nashal Ansam was playing,

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: I got to change that into a world champion and.

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: The voice of Dame Sophie Pasco. And we'll get to

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: here in a second. Nicki Styrs sports journalists here for

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: the sports Huddle tonight. Hey Nicki, Hello guys. Great to

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: have you won with Andrew Gordy's sports commentator. Good evening, Gordy,

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: how are you very well? It's great to have you

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: both on the show. Let's start with the Warriors captain.

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: Who's it going to be? Do you think Nicky will

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: start with you? Is James Fisher. Harris's name has been

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: thrown about there. I know You're a huge Warriors fan,

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: so what's your.

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am, although actually I'm going to put my

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 5: vote in f Mitch Barnett. I think that he's proven

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 5: that he can do the job. He did it late

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: last year with Tory Harris injured. He's a man that

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 5: leads by his actions. He's proven that not only for

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: the Warriors, but for the Blues, the Kangaroos, and I

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: think he's got the respect of the playing group at

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: the moment, and I think that's actually really vital going

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 5: in to a new season. Don't get me wrong, James

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 5: Fisher Harris is also a very good candidate, however, I think,

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: and even he has openly said he probably needs to

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 5: earn that position first, and he's new to the club,

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: so he needs to come in show what he can do,

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: lead by his actions, and he has signed on for

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: a bit latest or a bit longer to end of

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 5: twenty twenty eight, I believe, so I think there's time

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 5: for him. So that's that's kind of where I'm putting

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 5: my vote.

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: All right, what about you, Goody, I don't disagree with

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: any of that actually, and I think mitn sorry mate, sorry,

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: I can make something up for you if you like.

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: Look Mitch Barneer, he's got real Kevin Cambian vibes about him,

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: and he was the player of the Year last year.

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: He absolutely commands respect within that dressing room. So right

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: now I think he probably is the top candidate. But

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: James Fisher Harris. From everything I've heard about this man,

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what dressing room he walks into. He

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: absolutely leads by example in everything that he does. But

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: the challenge for him is walking straight in and commanding

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: that straight away, so there might be a challenge there.

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: And then you've got Roger try Vasishek as well. Well,

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: he's the only person in that dressing room that's won

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: a Delian Medal. He's done it all for this club

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: on the field. I think probably the question mark for

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: him is that his form last season probably doesn't necessarily

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: demand captaincy and leadership just yet. I think they'll go

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: with Mitch Barnett and he'll have two excellent deputy deputies,

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: and James Fisher Harris and Roger to Vasishek.

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: All right, well, that sounds good. They're in good hands

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: either way. Then they've got three solid options, which is great.

63
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: Let's talk tennis that end that was earlier this week,

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: but the Australian Open. Nikki I had a problem with that. Well,

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't like it when people protest at sporting events

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: generally anyway, because it's it's annoying. I mean, people pay

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: a lot of money to go and see these things

68
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: and if they're constantly being interrupted by fairy dust from

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: some climate protester, I just got.

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 5: You know.

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: But anyway, this was quite a separate situation that so

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: this is sphearev and was being heckled before an interview,

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: and it was it was about some domestic violence allegations

74
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: that he had faced. But we've also had this anti

75
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: royal chanting. This is at the Champions League game against

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: aston Villa that Prince Wiam attended, where they said Lizzie's

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: in a bar, which is I mean, it's terrible, it's terrible, nicky.

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: What do we do about this or is it just

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: part of the part of sport.

80
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: Look, I think there's a little bit of a difference

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 5: between something, you know, like an individual sport like tennis,

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 5: like golf, because it becomes very personal when someone's he called,

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: you know, it's not like a team event where you

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: can throw out general heckling and everybody's affected by that.

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: I just think I agree with you where it's actually

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: not the correct platform for that type of heckling. And

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 5: I think that type of comment at all, I think

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: it ruins the experience for everybody else who've paid a

89
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 5: lot of money to go and watch, you know, professional

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 5: people do a professional job. And also you know, it's

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 5: it becomes almost like a kangaroo court, and I think,

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 5: you know, that's not fair. You can't you can't put

93
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: somebody on the spot for something that's a very very

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: serious allegation, which I might add has not been proven.

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 5: And you know, there was two outer court settlements. The

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 5: ATP launched an investigation into one of them. No discipline

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: react was taken. None of that comes into account. He's

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: just basically standing there and she's having a good, right

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 5: old crack. No, I don't agree with it. It's no

100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: place for it.

101
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: Well, she certainly picked her moment, didn't she, when the

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: entire crowd was silent waiting for his words. I'm not

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: quite sure how I feel about this, because what she

104
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: actually said wasn't actually that bad. You know, she didn't

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: make a direct threat to him, didn't make didn't use

106
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: derogatory language or anything like that. She purely made a

107
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: statement that Australia believes these two women. Now, she doesn't

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: have the right I don't think to speak on behalf

109
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: of everyone. But if she had said I believe I

110
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: don't know what's wrong.

111
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 5: With that, well, I just don't think it's the right platform.

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: Perhaps not, but she certainly got her point across.

113
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: So and to be fair to her, she she also

114
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: didn't interrupt a game. She just interrupted a broadcast, really

115
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: didn't she that's great?

116
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: But what do you do if you're zerib You know,

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 5: what do you do in that situation? You're damned if

118
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: you do, and you're damned if you don't. If you

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: speak up again to her, you look like an asshole.

120
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 5: Excuse me I to say that said it now, mouth

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 5: is sorry. You know, So what does he does? And

122
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 5: if he sits in silence, then she gets her platform

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 5: and he gets to say nothing in his own defense.

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 5: I think it's Yeah, I don't like it.

125
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting because like golf, not great for shouting out,

126
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: Tennis not great for shouting out because they're quite intimate

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: sort of arenas.

128
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: That's right, but for golf. I mean that the etiquette

129
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: is clear right you do not make a sound while

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: the player is in their backswing, for example. But as

131
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: you quite rightly pointed out, this was not during the game.

132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: It was after the game. It was all over. She

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: picked a moment to get a point across. And does

134
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: he have the right, like you say, guilty, you know,

135
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: innocent until proven guilty, et cetera, et cetera. But does

136
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: he absolutely have the right to walk around and play

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: tennis and receive nothing?

138
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Well, clearly not proven not and ONEA Pacifica will chat

139
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: that and also Aukland FC. Nicki stars Andrew Gordy on

140
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: the Sports Huddle, returning.

141

Speaker 1: Realty Elevate the Marketing of your Home.

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 2: Twelve to six news Talks. He'd be Nicki starras sports

144
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: journalist and Andrew Gordy's sports commentator on the Sports Huddle

145
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: this evening. Let's talk ONEA Pacifica. So they want to

146
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: make the Super Rugby Final this season and they want

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: to get a title within five years. This is the

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: plan they do of course have Artie Savier. Is it

149
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: Gordy a realistic goal or I mean, well, good to

150
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: dream big.

151
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: I suppose it is good to dream big. That's that's

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: essentially my point I think there. Do I believe that

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: they'll achieve their goal? I certainly hope that they do.

154
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: And Artie Savia is certainly the player I think you

155
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: would want. If you could choose any player right now

156
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: to build a team around, it would be Artie Savia.

157
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: So they've chosen the right guy in that regard. But

158
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: one person does not make a team, so they're going

159
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: to need to build around him, and five years isn't

160
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: necessarily impossible to do. But they've got a long way

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: to climb from from where they are. But I love

162
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: the goal and I love what certainly getting Ardie Savia,

163
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: what that does for the Muana PACIFICA fan base and

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: the PACIFICA community to get behind this team because New

165
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: Zealand Rugby and Super Rugby needs this team to fly.

166
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that sentiment, Nikki.

167
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: What he says? Do you know it was another one

168
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: of those situations where I okay, stole my Sunday. Yeah,

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 5: it's pretty hard to disagree with all of that. You

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 5: have to dream big and New Zealand rugby definitely needs

171
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: them to fly. But I'm kind of an agreeance that,

172
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 5: you know, they've only been around what's their third season

173
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: or whatever, and being based in New Zealand, I'm not

174
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: sure it always works for you in the sense of,

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: you know, keeping that momentum going with your fan base

176
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: and so you know, Ardie Savia, of course he's going

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,479
Speaker 5: to bring wonderful things to the leadership, you know, just expectation, professionalism,

178
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 5: all of those things. But as Gordy says, you can't

179
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: build an entire campaign round one player. You're going to

180
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: have to get more buy in and time we'll see

181
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: that develop.

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: I think do you know who they could take some

183
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: inspiration from as Auckland FC, because look at them, you know,

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: this is their first this is their first foray in

185
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: right and their top of the leader table you know,

186
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: halfway through the season right now. Are you confident, Gordy?

187
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: These football is your thing?

188
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: Right?

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Are you confident they're going to stay there?

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Am I confident they're going to stay there? I think

191
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: if they have a fully fit squad, they are very

192
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: competitive and a red hot chance to win this title absolutely,

193
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: because they've got the fan base behind them.

194
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: But they need fit.

195
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: Players and I think the injury to Dan Hall has

196
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: certainly affected Auckland f C's form. But if they can

197
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 3: get him back and keep the rest of the squad fit,

198
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: they're a red hot chance.

199
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting piece in the Herald this week, Nikki,

200
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: that talks about the sort of over lap in Auckland,

201
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: in particular for the fan base between the Warriors, the

202
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: Blues and Auckland FC, and just how these two franchises

203
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: are potentially going to really hurt the Blues.

204
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 5: I actually think it could have the opposite effect. I

205
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 5: think it's really mobilizing Auckland is to get in behind sport,

206
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: the sport in their city. You know, it's a good

207
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 5: situation to have the Warriors going flying that. You know,

208
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 5: the Blues proved last year that they have got what

209
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 5: it takes to win a Super Rugby title. The Auckland,

210
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: you know, a football club are doing a fantastic job

211
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: and you know, looking like a maiden title. So I

212
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 5: sort of see it the other way. I think I

213
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: think rugby needs They have had some challenges, let's let's

214
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: face it, as a product, and they are going to

215
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: need the Auckland crowd to get behind them for this

216
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: season to make sure that they do do the Auckland

217
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: the rugby product well, I mean, look the using on

218
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: rugby board last season was in disarray. These questions around

219
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: Eden Park is it the right stadium for Auckland Blues.

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: But I actually think the success of the Warriors, the

221
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: fans behind the Warriors and Auckland's FC will move and

222
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: permeate into the Aukland Blues.

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: This is a huge perception issue, isn't it. We're talking

224
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: about a team and whether they are now third in

225
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: the pecking order. They won their competition last year and

226
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: we're all on board the hype train. Of course that

227
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: exists around the Warriors and Auckland f C, who at

228
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: the moment haven't won anything. So where is that perception

229
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: built from. It's what you see on TV because the

230
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: Warriors and Auckland f C are playing at a purpose

231
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: fit you know, purpose Belt stadium White so purpose Belt,

232
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: but it's perfect for them, whereas the Blues play in

233
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 3: a massive stadium that they cannot have a hope of filling.

234
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: So what are they going to do? They either move

235
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: or find a way to I suppose pack up on

236
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 3: the sentiment that Nick's talking about. Auckland sports fans are

237
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: mobilized at the moment, So the Blues have to get

238
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: on board that and make sure that they get as

239
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: many fans into that stadium as possible, make the tickets,

240
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: do it cheap, just get people there, because that builds

241
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: the perception around the they're going.

242
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes, when you watch something at the rate they're going,

243
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: you could play at a high school and you feel

244
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: like they wouldn't fill it out.

245
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: You know, if you actually go, it's an enjoyable experience.

246
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: But the trouble is it's such a big stadium they

247
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: haven't got a chance.

248
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

249
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,320

251
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,160
