Palmerston North will need 20,000 seats at FMG Stadium if it hopes to host a World Cup match in 2011.
There are currently 14,000 seats and the Rugby World Cup 2011 "Manawatu governance group" is working on ways to increase the capacity.
That will largely come down to the Palmerston North City Council, which owns and now operates Arena Manawatu and has projects co- ordinator Jo Sutton on the planning group.
Palmerston North's population growth is unlikely to justify a full-blown new grandstand being built before 2014. But up to 2000 permanent bucket seats could be installed and the rest would be good quality temporary seating. |

Marist coaches Reid Stiven and Deryck Rowse could only stand and cogitate as if watching the mushroom blast from an atomic bomb after their team's defeat on Saturday. Marist had clawed back to 10-5 against leader College Old Boys and 20 minutes later, at game's end, the scoreboard read 36-5 to COB. This in a match between what had been the only teams with two wins in the top six. If there were conditions which could have caused COB to come unstuck, it was the wet, heavy back ground at Arena Manawatu. But it in the end, Marist appeared to run out of juice and the COB backs carved up. COB won't have arch orchestrator Aaron Good from now on, but it is still not clear if anyone can roll COB, which has won 14 on the trot this season. Stiven could only reflect. |
