But they're not going to go to the game.

And this was my whole point about the Pinot Noirs from the start.

If it was a corporate box, they would.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Yeah, yeah, they 100% would.

That's the irony.

I guess that's how you get to that level of wealth and affluence is by never paying for anything yourself.

Yeah.

And so, unless they get free tickets.

Whereas, meanwhile, everyone else has to pay to go and sit in the freezing cold sideways rowing.

Yeah.

But that was my point about the Pinot Noirs is that I didn't hate them, more the merrier, but they're not fans of the Warriors.

And my point at the time was...

and you guys be the judge whether I was right or wrong, as soon as they start losing, they'll disappear.

Oh, yeah, that's like any New Zealand sports fan, though.

That is like every New Zealand sports fan on earth.

No, not with the Warriors, and I guess that's why it raised my antlers, is because Warriors fans, every one of them has memories of sitting in the pissing cold sideways rain, watching Sean Johnson line up a conversion from the sideline to cut the deficit to 40, and thereby eliminating us out of contention for the playoffs in mid-March.

But that's just like cricket, though, as well, because where are the other 38,000 people that turned up for the semifinal versus South Africa at Eden Park and against Australia at Eden Park?

Where have they been since?

Yeah.
