The tension builds. The main stand is so crammed (full of empty seats) that the Open Stand is brought into commission for the first time since the Warriors played here last. There's three inches of dust on the seats, and bird droppings that are carbon-dated circa 1999.
   
Massey youth out on a date. He is lovingly stroking her hair following a small incident wherein she had some minor trouble with putting one foot in front of the other. Falling backwards, she opted to have a snooze. Enter Red Badge.
   
She's awake. Boyfriend, his passion for his girl mingled with the palpable excitement among the throng in the Open Stand, contracts a nose-bleed.
   
Red Badge man senses something is awry. "On a date? Nosebleed? Smells like fun to me. Better get re-inforcements."
   
Back-up arrives. They're holstering Glock semi-automatics and they ain't afraid to kick some muthafuckin' ass. Possibly.
   
St.Johns arrive and save the boy from having his spleen forced through his rectum, courtesy of Red Badge's over-zealous truncheon brigade.
Disclaimer:
This isn't what actually happened, but if you think it was then it's testament to Red Badge's reputation. I dunno who runs the security at Mt Smart but it was efficient, friendly, and willing to let people have a bit of larks and giggles. Take heed, North Harbour Stadium
