Otago Stadium a done deal
Regardless of what we have read, been shown or told…we can come to no other conclusion but that the stadium was decided right from the beginning. The problem was simply how to sell it. It all began when the New [...]

Game on, lets go people!!!
With the Dunedin City Council’s decision to go a head with the proposed stadium of Dunedin, there are many issues that are worth investigating. I hope to cover as many of these as possible, and if anyone has issues, I will endeavour where possible to discuss these too. Having said that, I am a supporter of the Stadium, and am not prepared to get into a debate about the merits or otherwise of the stadium in the terms set out by the likes of Syd Aide.
