They aren't going to build a stadium.
If they were serious about the stadium they would have ensured it wasn't the PR clusterfuck it's become
I'm not certain it has become a clusterfuck
Its an absolute PR cluster but then this is typical Gareth MO. Get people looking at the issue to get things his way. Gareth never had any intention to pour $40m into a black hole when he can use every trick he has to get the Stadium to bargain harder. Its all just smoke screens to make people think that he will knowing that it will get tied up by the RMA and dissenters for years. Come on... This is not some government department that just throws money away. This is Gareth Morgan, the guy that made his money because he knows how to make money, not throw it away. They'll come out of it with a cheaper deal at the stadium, you watch.
A different point of view. If Martin Snedden was handling this, and he is a very well respected CEO, do you think it would have gone like this? Not in a million fucking years because everything would have been checked and double checked. The Welnix lads are not serious about it and I believe never were.
