| 484536 | 2006-09-16 12:40:00 | I agree with csinclair83:thumbs: I also think Auckland has too many more important problems to sort out first. Countless roads to re-route,to fix,to upgrade,to make safer, Schools in disrepair, Electricity, Sewage, Hospitals, etc....., Sounds like the whole of NZ Also Auckland ratepayers are allready paying alot of money in rates and they will have to pay more to fix the problems they have allready now,why add to their dispair.:D NZ again Let another city have it. I agree there. I think they should just make it one city and have one mayor,one council,less red tape,less burocrats,less fighting amongest themselfs and think of whats best to fix the city and not themselfs-all the different mayors/councils I mean.Yeah Right!! The money they saved from getting rid of the excess could help to pay for Aucklands problems.:thumbs:Sounds like Parliament. |

And the list would be on their website as well with costings and everthing . :thumbs: True transperancy/true democracy . And then we could all live happy there after . :D Ah what a dream . . . . time to go to bed now anyway . :) |

| 484538 | 2006-09-17 03:19:00 | the bottom line really is... As Long the world cup is hosted in nz and in a impressive way alls well..I'll be very ashamed to be a kiwi if we stuff this up again like we did a few years back with cohosting....we coulda had it then!!! And ppl saying let a nother city have it....the world cup is actually for NZ...not just auckland....just that the big games would be there...kinda like Sydney had telstra/homebush/olympic....3 names for 1 stadium shocking! And i've heard rumours that tickets for the final would be around $800-900 to ensure a "small" profit...but that seems to be wrong since lately they're saying theres knowledge it'd be approx $30m loss for NZRFU.. |

| 484539 | 2006-09-17 04:32:00 | See headlines in the Herald, "Waterfront stadium may cost a billion dollars" Seems if you want to get your name in the paper , just make a public statement like that. Doesn't matter how insugnificent you are , or what you know about it. |

| 484540 | 2006-09-17 05:00:00 | apparently they forgot the stabilising of the port front.....subterrian trenching for fountians and all that.... idiots..... We've got 15 weeks to make a decision...IRB wants to know by December where the final is.... |

| 484541 | 2006-09-17 05:44:00 | Screw them all, They are talking about millions upon millions of our money to be all fancy for an event that is going to make a 50 millin dollar loss (covered by us, cheers *******s),meanwhile the Wanganui Hospital is unable to supply basic services and the nationwide wait-lists are disgusting and criminal. Ho about the damn fools give us some value for OUR MONEY before they just throw it at the suits for their pathetic ego-stroke. |

| 484542 | 2006-09-17 11:30:00 | All the interest seems to be Auckland. They have so much trouble with traffic congestion now that the rest of the country is continually bailing them out for roading etc. Forget Auckland. Go somewhere that doesn't have all these traffic hangups yet also has plenty of flat land available - Christchurch. If the government is so keen on spending yet another several millions of taxpayer dollars, either extend Jade Stadium or build another stadium close by. Heaps of parking, good uncongested roading heaps of accommodation not too far from the park. |

| 484543 | 2006-09-18 13:42:00 | National Stadium of NZ (and in Auckland) . Why do people knock this sort of vision . You dont hear northerners in Leeds and Manchester complain about Wembly being in London, dont think so . In the case of Eden Park . It is old, ad hoc, ugly and in the wrong location . As for spending $300m to redevelopment of it, pig ear stuff . Best to bulldoze it and redevelope it into high density housing (present all other major cities in the world) with easy transport links into the city already in place (Kingsland Station) . That a few tens of millions just there . Add that to government contribution and alittle from Auckland rate payers . Easy peasy . Remmember the investment is spread over 30-40 years . Fact of the matter is that resource management and money is the least of our worries . We should be worried about vested interests like Eden Park and the RFU (bed partners) . They need us, not the other way around . This stadium is just part of the jigsaw of creating a city to compare with the likes of sydney, melbourne, seattle etc . Money is going to be spent anyway, lets just be forward thinking about it . This oppotunity doesnt come around everyday . A bit of vision and courage is need by council, govt and people please . |

| 484544 | 2006-09-18 23:05:00 | That $300 million could have been spent on better improving this countries infrastructure. To spend all that moolah on a crappy stadium that no-one would probably use, is a right royal waste of time. Lets to a national vote. $5 says majority will vote in favour of no taffing stadium |
