That's right, I remember you "previewing" that finale

Fan Zones are specified, and as you say should be no big deal.
I’d be really surprised if the IRB got that specific.
Same, but it's probably going to take a journalist to ask the right questions and untangle this mess. Relevant for informed voting in both this year's local elections and next year's national ones.

Again, show me actual evidence that the IRB decreed "waterfront". I've seen nothing to support that.

web apps are hard to beat for multi-device functionality
Sounds like it took a lot of cunning effort from Cactuslab to make their app work across even Apple's locked-down ecosystem.

a serialized detective novella
Something akin to this ripper local initiative, perhaps?

David, I can imgine no world in which more of your writing could be anything other than spendid.

Concepts like using the waterfront don't arrive perfectly formed - they are contingent, built upon, layer upon layer till either it comes off nicely, or doesn't.
I'm not aiming for the abstract here. It's a simple enough question. Snedden is quoted as saying they have to deliver a fan zone on the waterfront. It would be nice to know if that was decreed by the IRB or mad-dog McCully or if it's not true.
I doubt it was Auckland City Council's doing (unless there was some back room manoeuvring we haven't heard about).
Aotea Square makes good sense unless you're desperately convinced that projecting our poorly developed night-time waterfront to the world will drive prosperity. That notion is silly enough to have come from any of the half-baked oafs of the inner cabinet. But it doesn't explain why someone as sensible as Snedden would stand by it.

Still curious where the concept of "waterfront" entered

the outlay is only on a telly screen
Yes, I know - but locating it involves a decision about RWC fan zones. Was it an informed one?
