A League game yesterday.
This one is even funnier than the OP's
Kanu v THE MIGHTY BORO at the hawthorns Gota be up there.. think Robbo was in charge of WB.
Sadly it'll take the Nix to win the World Cup and beat Lionel Messi's Argentina in the final before the Kiwi general public took much more of an interest in them. Half the Kiwi men I know still call it 'foot marbles' such is their disdain and wouldn't want their kids (or grandkids now) playing the game ahead of rugby.I know it’s v disappointing. I think the cake tin is.way to big for the team, would be much better to use a smaller stadium and then the cake tin for play offs /finals
To be fair tno the Nix they are trying all sorts of pronotions. Free tickets for kids, season ticket discounts for the remaining games, Worth reading the discussion in the thread re the issues.Sadly it'll take the Nix to win the World Cup and beat Lionel Messi's Argentina in the final before the Kiwi general public took much more of an interest in them.

I'd have thought the Nix marketing manager would have realised that and tried strategies to get the typical Kiwi on board.
Kiwis don't like the thought that they are 'missing out' on something so maybe that's a good way of marketing them: Don't Miss out on the Nix -
I mean if being top of the league and beating all the Aussie teams isn't enough for Kiwis to get behind a team then what is?
I agree though about a smaller ground for the Nix regular season games.
