[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 146493"] Here's another fact for you to eat up then Prestwick, regarding Carisbrook. Match attendance figures for the Vodafone Wellington Lions were 12,300 at Athletic Park in 1999. Crowds averaged above 30,000 in 2000 when Wellington moved into Westpac Stadium. So 25,000 capacity for the Highlanders looks fine to me. As for the world cup, what do you mean outdated statistics? Do you expect the world cup to continuously grow and grow like the nom nom fact monster? France has 64million people and is on the doorstep to Europe? Australia has 21million. Does the fact monster expect 3 times the match attendance based on a nation 3 times the size? How bout these facts, the 1999 world cup had a match attendance of 1.75million (from 41 games), 2003 had a match attendance of 1.8 million (from 48games). You don't need to be a fact monster to realise Europe has more people so of course will get more people turning up. [/QUOTE]
