Read my previous comments, public transport, 10-30 minutes from the current venue. Parking without ticket wardens or meters .Would like to see a poll on this site to see what everyone thinks about it. 

I give up, you're just ignoring the point I'm making. And again, a poll on here isn't really representative of the target market. We need to know what casual fans think, not what people who care enough to pot to a forum about the Nix think
free train ticket 15 minutes from current venue for better football stadium, better parking without meters. Casuals would probably drive anyway. Because there is probably not a lot of families living in the CBD anyway. Petone is a residential area, I guarantee you would get a lot more casuals turning up from the area, it would be walking distance which currently isn't true for any residential suburb near the stadium. 
Who pays for the free train tickets? Welnix? So they build a new stadium to save on costs but then have to subsidise transport? You'd have to put more trains on probably too on a Sunday or Saturday because you'd have a heap more people taking them, so that's an even greater cost. As for families in the CBD, well if you count Karori, Island Bay, Miramar, Haitaitai, Kilbirnie, and so on I think you'll find there's a few. 


As plenty of others are saying the current stadium is sh*t but its location is the best you could get in the region. Build by there or rebuild it, but don't shift it to somewhere that'll make it more time-consuming and harder to get to for 2/3rds of the region's population.


they did it in auckland last night. They work with the rail line and work out a deal were they get cheaper prices compared to the public. Which is incorporated into the ticket price. Back when I used to go to the hurricanes it was free trains for ticket holders. But that was like 2002 I think.
