Seriously I think it's a ploy to twist arms. The newish guy in charge at the Westpac has already done lots to improve the stadium experience, but it's going to take time to make these improvements.
I've never understood how Kiwi's are incapable of designing something functional but I guess they never factored in that "soccer" might take off.
In a perfect world we'd have a little stadium next to the Westpac, (15 thousand max but able to be extended), I remember going to the McAlpine and the Reebok stadiums soon after they were built and thought how good they were.
Welnix would need a few million to do this and whatever Morgan says, if he can't cough up for a Marquee player or two he ain't going to build a new stadium - he's bluffing.
Better look at some sort of retro-fit. People going on about the weather and the need for a roof - but I can only remember a handful of matches where it was so cold that it was uncomfortable.
To make money they need to try and loosen the grip of Spotless - they do the stadium or the Nix no favors.
10 years from now if we can stay in the A league and probably get out of Oceania - then we might look at a football stadium. Then you might get some investment from abroad, (probably dubious), particularly when they are making it harder for crooks and villians to stay in more established leagues.
Look at a retrofit option as rather than starting from scratch it's the only option that makes sense.
Sorry to hijack the thread but this is the most exciting prospect to happen since the rising of the Phoenix and the Hutt Valley in a long time.
