This week's Hutt News -
Page 5: 'Stadium worth debating'.
Page 5. 'Council says sorry for misleading ground information' - worth a peek as this may have mislead Petone Rugby Club
Page 18: 'Arena slammed in MP's survey'. Hutt South MP Trevor Mallard sent out 'Thousands of survey forms'. Farcical but, my guess is , it will influence some people.

Should get some some funds from the club and do a x number of pubs of Morgan in Petone and have some cheap beers specials for everyone funded by the club....that would be a good start...Get some of the players to go with you...have a 5 a side somewhere...get Wayne Smith or whoever with some community respect and profile down there...
just an Aucklanders suggestion...
That survey is obscenely flawed.
Wonder why Mallard is anti the idea.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Basically just seems like a doubling up of the rugby club being against it. Poor form to include both in that statement.

I've heard more about lamp posts than one man ever need.
Its Duck Season now so can we legally shoot Trevor Mallard?

Seems like there are plenty in favour too: http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/do-petone-locals-feel-new-stadium-plans-video-5838985

Observations: The 2 most intelligent interviewees were for the stadium, 1 woman was worried about how much it was going to cost her as a rate payer [how much was it per person?], and [perhaps unfairly] think the last woman isn't a rate payer or ever went past the 4th form at school.
That survey is obscenely flawed.
Survey only sent to those who requested it? :P

On top of that, today Patrick posted THIS LINK to show Yellow Fevers viewpoint. It got deleted.

I see green space! I see green space!
What really grinds my gears is that petone-the-concrete-jungle argument.
I don't think in anyway can you define Petone, with it's low rise buildings and harbour setting, as a concrete jungle.
"Petone is a concrete jungle. Have they considered the Hutt rec?"
With central Hutt being even more of a concrete jungle, this argument amuses me.
Petone has plenty of green space, and even a beach! Ridiculous indeed.
FYI: I sent this to Trevor Mallard, the MP for Hutt South - "Re the Hutt News article on your views about the proposed Petone stadium. How many letters did you actually leave in boxes? Is it the THOUSANDS you claim in your article? A return of 200 from 'thousands' is hardly hard data is it? What about doing a REAL survey?"
Trevor Mallard replied "One into letterbox for each Petone ( not Alicetown or Korokoro) household that had someone on electoral roll. Those who cared returned forms."
and they roll in -
West of Crawford green, close to the Academy is an empty school.
Phoenix Flight 2015 you are cleared for takeoff on runway 2.
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen
and they roll in -
Most are saying they are against it because they won't be able to use the park anymore. This is wildly untrue. Sigh.
The Petone Rec is a large open space where people of all ages come to play, walk, compete (sport), relax and regenerate.
A little slice of Gallifrey in NZ?

Any students out there with nothing to do? Perhaps we could get down there and film 24 hours of usage at Petone rec, count the number of people using it and time, and then counter these arguments with fact based on whether remaining green space would be enough to service the users needs.
