Hutt Wreck every day for me. Trains are closer than Wellington Railway station is to Sky Stadium. Heaps of Car Parking - Free on the streets. Heaps of Buses. Great pub across the road and close to Queensgate for any pre or post match shopping.
Could do 2 X 3,000 stands along the pitch, and have terracing at each end at 2,500. Ballane is 100% correct, the Council wants it for a Cricket pitch that less than 30 people watch. That place hummed when we were there. The Belle Vue did outstanding business, the Street cart food sellars did a roaring trade and fans had a better matchday experience without the sour kiosk people that Sky employ. All the pricings were much cheaper.
Hurricanes, Lions, Rugby League and Football would all use it. Small minds and Nimby's are the only obsticles to making it happen.

It seems like ages ago that the proposal to move there was made. Is it maybe worth having another go now? Times change and all that... now amalgamation & rationalization the buzzwords. Plus Wellington has a new mayor, a guy who's not only sympathetic to the needs of the people but understands how business works...
