At long last the Westpac Stadium Trust are starting to take this seriously. One of their lackys making a first appearance and one that like certain a Labour MP, needs to front up with some facts and not asertions. For 7 years that Stadium Trust have taken the piss with their shit catering, ship drink prices and shit $30 car parks. Only this season have ST holders have been given a break in that respect for car parks.
Now they realise this might not just be saber rattling, they come out sqwarking foul ball. Next up someone suggests Newtown Park and I'm sure resource consents and all that would get rushed through. Amazing how they can now come to the party table. Was it because it was also suggested that rugby and rugby league might also have had enough and are thinking of supporting a shift?
Thats right you Westpac Stadium ripoffs, you have every right to feel a little nervous. Time to stop fleecing everyone. You should have been reinvesting in the stadium but you didn't.
I also note that the stadium was built on the promise of getting some big acts, bands there. Apart from a few concerts, where are they? The locals oppose noise after 7pm and thats it, no one comes. Bruce Springsteen would have filled the stadium but instead he has 2 shows in Auckland.
Oh and if any of the stadium trust do read this, fix up your website. When one types up a thoughtful complaint and hits send, your complaint form comes back "error 404, thaais page does not exist". A great way to keep ones temper under control.
