Yeah but don't you work at that facility? I mean you live there as it's close to work and it's been there for ages no?
It's a bit like medical staff living in doctors quarters complaining about the big hospital in their garden.
Or clowns moaning about the circus tent in their back yard.
Sorry mate it just made me scratch my head.
You have a circus next door? Lucky bugger. ;)

The quake report on the old stand might be a blessing for the proposed new stadium. If the stand is only 5% earthquake compliant it might make more sense to knock it down and build another one. So if it has to be done then I think less people would object to a new stand. If you are going to rebuild it then why not make it a bigger one as part of the new development. However it will result in higher costs for the whole project as the old stand was going to remain as part of the whole new stadium.
Suppose it could be just the thing to get the rugby lot on side with the idea?

I just found out today that there is no equivalent of NIMBY in any other European language, they just borrow it off English. Perhaps because English-speaking peoples are the champion moaners of the globe.
For those living in Eastbourne.
Find out about proposals for the Town Hall, Memorial Hall and Petone Arena and how to make submissions to the HCC Annual Plan
Eastbourne Community Board invites you to an information evening to find out about proposals for the Memorial and Town Halls, the Petone Arena and any other aspects of the HCC Annual Plan that interest you.

Tomorrows headlines today! (sorry possibly a bit slow on this topic)

The Oxford English Dictionary identifies the acronym's earliest use as being in 1980 in the Christian Science Monitor, although even there the author indicates the term is already used in the hazardous waste industry.[3][4] The concept behind the term, that of locally organized resistance to unwanted land uses, is likely to have originated earlier. One suggestion is it emerged in the 1950s.[5]
In the 1980s, the term was popularized by British politician Nicholas Ridley, who was Conservative Secretary of State for the Environment.[citation needed] Comedian George Carlin used the term in a comedy skit, implying that people had already heard of it. Although he did not coin the term, he certainly helped to popularize it.[6]
Nice one FT. I also quite like BANANA, FRUIT & SOBBY (see [5] above. If NIMBY was of British origin I suspect it may instead have been NIMAT (Not in my allottment thanks) or possibly NIMBPOB (Not in my back passage Old Boy).

I do wonder if the impact on the local residents is slightly overstated. With the number of games in an A-League season, the stadium will be used 13 times by the Phoenix? And any use by the Petone Rugby club will be at the same level as currently. I liveless than 10 minutes walk from Craven Cottage, which holds double what is proposed here, and the impact is not massive, apart from the pubs being busier, and more people on the streets. If the public transport links are of good quality, then the impact will be even less.
We must live in similar places as I live about that distance from the Cottage and agree that the impact is minimal. However, public transport is the key difference here. I would imagine of a 12,000 crowd that may come to a Nix game at Petone. 30/40% would drive? Nothing anywhere near like that at Craven Cottage.
What they're going to do about parking will be the clincher in this for me. I can see that being an absolute nightmare (it's bad enough on a day that Petone Rec may have 3 or 4 club rugby games on) and if I was a local resident I think I could be justifiably miffed about it. If they've got a decent plan for parking then this should go through. If they don't, then I could see it being justifiably put back in the box.

I was at Petone Rec on Friday (fully utilising the uncluttered green space... )
I was looking at where the new thing might go and it looked to me as if the Rec would in effect lose, wait for it, ONE pitch.
It will lose one or two (full size football pitches), depending on if/how it is reconfigured. Nothing like the "all our greenspace" that some crap on about.
Paint the stadium green. Problem solved.

For anyone wanting a giggle, I got a pasting in the Hutt News letters to the editor in last week's edition. Worth a read.

You mean the well informed opponents that don't really appear to know what it is all about Smithy?

In support? I did.
Well gosh. Thanks fellas :) I might just flick a wee note to the editor and mention that.
