So, how long is it since you lived in The Bay, Hadyn? If Newtown is "home", why weren't you cheering for Newtown?
Cheer for the team from the city where I live? How gauche.
But really the answer is:
1. I lived in Tauranga and the Mount for 18 years. I've lived in Wellington for seven.
2. I love cheering for the underdog
3. Wellington vs Canterbury or Auckland and I'll cheer for Wellington.
and
4. While I am happy and proud to say I love and live in Wellington I also like to show off where I grew up -
What on Earth was wrong with the name Wellington?
Heh, I hadn't even noticed.

I forgot to mention it in the post, but we were talking to the other folk in the line. After grumbling about having to wait outside for ages the conversation turned to how good it was to have an afternoon game again.
People like taking their kids to the game (shock!) and when they do it's easier if it's during the day (shock!) and in an atmosphere less likely to contain drunk retards (shock!)
All it needs is the various rugby unions to grow some balls
Despite all their manly posing and utterances of "mate", rugby unions tend to be quite devoid of balls.

I design settop boxes for the US cable market - we're required to include software that will black out games within a certain distance of a particular event - typically a home game will be blacked out unless ticket sales are greater than say 75% or more
Oh I always wondered how the NFL blackouts worked. I remember Jacksonville were the first team in ages to "suffer" a blackout in recent times.

Sorry, just an attempt at humour. Sir Brian is still alive and hitting

I feel so disconnected. I only know what a few of those jokes are about.

To Paul Litterick, anyone who can post a Neko Case video, has already proved his worth as a blogeur.
What Neko Case video? Where? (despite owning all her albums I've yet to see a video...except her live in Texas dvd)
Haydn, even for a philistine as myself,this is a marvelous discussion.
Yeah I'm really pleased people are actually considering it.

Paul said comedy wasn't art
Paul L not Paul R, just to clarify

Sport is not art, cos as the esteemed Dr Litterick says, it is not intended to be so.
Yes, but (with all due respect) Paul said comedy wasn't art. And if comedy isn't art then I'm really not sure what is.
but the patterns tend to be similar game to game, and the notions of derbies or grudge matches give the conflicts a pattern.
Hmmmm, this reminds me, I must see if I still have my "mathematics is art" essay.
