I think the fact that these seven investors plus the wellington city council wanted to come in proves that ultimately the club has been a success. A lot of people are passionate about it and it adds a lot to the city. It's had a benefit to NZ football as well, which were near bankrupt themselves and are now 10 million in the black. The fact that office space has become oversupplied in the last 3 years has nothing to do with the club.
By Council you mean Councillor Morrison? I think you'll find Council's line is they don't get involved using ratepayers money to prop up sports teams.
