I cannot believe that this has still not been decided.
It's easy to sit there at your computer and say they should have decided already. There is a lot more to it than you think. As far as I know, the venue for this game won't be decided for at least another month - most likely June. I think they are probably still waiting on the requirements each city/venue is expected to provide from FIFA. It's not until then that they (WGTN/AKLD) will each get a group together to come up with the respective proposal's. Then NZF obviously have to consider everything before they decide which venue/city is best.
interesting that you picked that quote from, what, a week ago? I am not sure that I am the only person here is frustrated by the lack of decision.
Bottom line is we knew we were hosting this fixture about 4 or 5 weeks ago and we are seemingly no closer to making a decision.
Edit - also, surely we know what the FIFA requirements will be and I am sure that both Wellington and Auckland could satisfy them easily (I don't believe that a play-off game has any different requirements than any normal FIFA sanctioned World Cup qualifying game)
