Think Trentham would be the ideal location for a boutique stadium. Can't see it happening unless Gillies is involved.

too far away from the city the team represents, its not the Upper Hutt City Phoenix, nor is it the Wellington region Phoenix.
Sorry cant agree at all. Pretty sure since our inception much of the marketing has been directed  at the Wellington Region. Would imagine a large number of fans come from outside the city area.
Your having a laugh too far away , what a half hour train ride or a trip down the motorway.
Seems to me there are always heaps of complaints when trains arnt running that suggests there are a number of people using them.
Would imagine costs involved would be significantly better than they currently are that has to be a massive plus for the Phoenix.

30 min train ride, lol, maybe on an express - weekend trains, stopping t every station is 45 mins+, even driving from town to Upper Hutt is a 30+ minute trial and that's without a few thousand people travelling out there.

The only reason the Nix have been welcome to all within the region is to make sure all the football fans not in Wellington City will come watch too. 
Wellington City is the football club's home, that is where they should be playing - simple!
