On the 3rd of April the first seats, corporate boxes, and lounges for the new stadium go on sale at the Town Hall. This is an exclusive offering to the Our Statium Supporters club, Dunedin Club, and Chamber of Commerce members. This will be an excellent event for those wishing to get a good deal on the first offering of stadium products. I am currently working with Darren Burden on providing a package for Alumni of Otago University whereby they could get preferential booking rights to lounge and corporate seats for all the big events.

Todays Otago Daily Times unofficial poll of public opinion about the councils decision of support was again dominated by the noisy minority. I personally think that the negative people that calls these polls are the ones with no jobs at home with nothing else to do. It took us (the supportive) a prompting to actually make the call to show our support. The one thing that I was extremely encouraged about though was that, more than often, negative journalist David Loughrey wrote a surprisingly positive article EVEN THOUGH THE POLL WENT AGAINST US! 

The council have made the decision (12-2 in support) to continue with the development of the new Stadium. Fantastic news!

Tomorrow could be make or break for the stadium that we have spent most of a year supporting. From what I understand it may even come down to a swinging vote if the 14 councilors are split. Fingers crossed for a positive result.
