    Hopes last season's Wellington Phoenix hype will flow into the weekend's derby

    Hopes last season's Wellington Phoenix hype will flow into the weekend's derby


    Auckland FC will go up against the Wellington side at the capital's Sky Stadium tomorrow.

    Stadium CEO Warrick Dent says while it may not sell out the more than 34-thousand seat venue, people are turning out.

    He's expecting around 20-thousand attendees, similar to that of a super rugby clash.
