Actually, speaking of health, David Seymour, Associate Minister of Health, of course, man in charge of Pharmac and this diabetes debacle they've got going at the moment.

More shortly, meantime to the football at 16 past, potentially the dream season, of course, for Auckland FC.

Not just in the final, but a final at home.

You can't get a ticket as far as I know.

All of this in their second season.

Now, Nick Becker is the boss, of course, of Auckland FC and is back with us.

Nick, morning to you.

Morning, Mike.

The build-up been feeling good?

Oh, it's been fantastic.

It's been a hectic week, but it's exactly the busy that you want.

You know, you sort of work too hard throughout the whole season to get moments like this.

So, yeah, we're so excited.

Good, good, good.

I take it it's sold out.

Yeah, and now I think I asked somebody, and I can't remember who it was, this model that's run whereby football get all the dough, what's that about?

You've got to do something about that.

You've got to clip the ticket here, Nick.

The kickoff going to affect the team at all, given it's a bit late or not?

No, no, I don't think so.
