Reports have been that AFC will now be based there as there is insufficient room at Mt Smart with the Warriors. I wonder if the club might see some opportunities there in getting a stake or preferential treatment as a game tenant at NHS. 

I am not as convinced as others that the NZ sporting public is tied to railway public transport as what Wellingtonians are. Wellington has relied on its train system for more than 50+ years for commuters, ither cities (especially Auckland) hasn’t. NHS would be a perfect size 

NHS is a graveyard with a death sentence. A horrific ground for football. Zero atmosphere. Less than ideal location. May as well pack up now if they seriously consider playing there
