I think your right. All we really want is a good atmosphere at games. If we had appropriate sized stadiums and teams didn't play at cricket ovals it would help.
This is it really, it's not the size of the crowd that's the problem at all.
I seem to remember there being a great fan experience at Hutt Rec back in the day. Shame thar never became more of a permanent thing.
NIMBY's put an end to that, there was speculation of upgrading it or putting a stadium in Petone, but it all got rained on.
Yeah wasn't Morgan gonna stump up some big amount to make it happen too? Bloody shame.
I went to the submissions hearing at the Petone Working Men's Club. Some of the arguments AGAINST having the development were poor and in a couple of cases, embarrassing. The Rugby fans wanted to keep their condemned Stand despite it being written of as an Earthquake risk. You drive past that area now and not one improvement has been made. So much for the Boofheads improving the area. Yes, it still irks me.
