Sorry, I missed your spag junction idea. Sounds good to me ...

Hadyn, well the Cake Tin is a 20 or 30 minute walk from the City. 5 minutes from the railway station. Car parking nearby is abysmal. Still packs in the crowds.
I am not saying your Waterfront option is a good idea, but equally, clinging on to history might not be so flash either.

To Aucklanders...I live above what used to be Athletic Park. Loved the place and could even sneak in for free at half time.
Hated the idea of the Cake Tin and the fact they were building it too small and knocking down the Millard Stand. Ok I'll admit it, I even got a little squittery eyed about the whole thing.
That said, the CT has proved me quite wrong. Yes there are problems, it is still too small, but, it is very accessable, has a great atmosphere and attendence at all sporting events there have been far higher than at the Park and other venues.
Just something to consider when looking at whether to ditch *your* ground in the burbs for something newer and dare I say it, better.

Good stuff. Links already appearing from all over the Planet.

David Cormack, your suggestion was the funniest so far,
For irony you'd be hard pushed to go past the first line of the chorus to "Fame"...

Russell, 'cause you seem to be here.
Do you really have to open this site up to everyone? I mean, your friends seem quite reasonable and all that.
Just wondering.
Very nice work, congrats from this tech to your techs.

"how real journalists should right (sadly lacking here in NZ)."
oh the irony. s/right/write

As far as opinion sites and blogs go, I agree that norightturn sets a pretty high bar in terms of quality research and independence of thought. PA for its writing and understanding of how real journalists should right (sadly lacking here in NZ).
Kiwiblog is just an online version of talkback radio to me, nothing new, maybe popular but rancid. I prefer being interested, challenged, motivated and inspired by what I read as opposed to simply made angy.
