Gunman's point about carpark pricing is illustrative.
It demonstrates mentality.
The Trust's approach and mandate is to maximise revenue, not just from spectators but in any way they can.
That approach has led to death by a thousand cuts for the spectator experience.
On another point, the idea that WCC is somehow "still paying" for the Stadium may be financially accurate but in isolation a statement like that is tremendously misleading.
I don't think that the stadium have at all done a good job balancing maintaining the thing and keeping up investment in the things fans want ( I hate the term "fan experience"). But I don't think the answer to the phoenix not making money is for The council which means ratepayers to start injecting money - thats just a recipe for disaster and massive push back plus its a complete change in the whole model.
I definitely dont think its been run perfectly, but i dont think the answer is to change tge parameters. In the end they are making money which is their mandate from the trust principles, they just need to be a lot smarter in using that to get more people through the turnstiles
