nqboy said:Most would agree that, prima facie, the Wellington bid seems way behind the other two. This is a new wildcard and doesn't it throw a fresh spin on deliberations?
Wellington has:-
An International class (and used Internationally) stadium. Has hosted concerts, ODI cricket matches, All Blacks test matches. Is very modern.
Fans that turn up to watch snow melt; the Hurricanes were atrocious this year but they still got a good crowd.
A big catchment area.
Backing from a Belgian Billionaire.
Where exactly does the bid fall down????
