What ground do you prefer for home games, Westpac Stadium or Hutt Rec?

Westpac

Did you enjoy the Hutt Rec experience? If so, why?

Not really.  It was good was sitting closer to the pitch and having a pub just across the road.  But otherwise I can't say I enjoyed it that much (design of stands weren't great [although probably appropriate given it was temporary], no roof meaning a lack of atmosphere, potential death from angry vendors & light fittings). 

Would you like to see more games scheduled at Hutt Rec?

No.  Not without improvements to the stadium itself.

Was transport and access an issue at Hutt Rec?

I live Johnsonville way so transport is more difficult than it being in the city.  In saying that the 4kings bus was pretty awesome.

Should Wellington have its own dedicated boutique football only venue?

We need a rectangular stadium of some sort.  Ideally just for football but that might not be commercially viable.

Do you prefer a stadium in the city or the suburbs?

In the city.

If Wellington Phoenix was to have its own venue where would be the most appropriate place to locate it?

Pretty much where Westpac stadium is now.
