Gregor Paul slates Eden Park inThe New Zealand Herald ahead of the stadium's role in the forthcoming Rugby World Cup.
"World Cup boss Martin Snedden is confident the world will be surprised by Eden Park. He's right, they will be; surprised at just how awful it is; surprised that even some who have forked out $460 run the risk of being drenched.
Eden Park will be the worst stadium to host a World Cup final since ... Eden Park hosted the 1987 final.
All that bickering in 2006 whether to build at the waterfront or Eden Park was shameful enough back then. But it is only now that the true horror of that failure is becoming apparent.
At the cost of $240 million, New Zealand has built an utter dog of a stadium and one that will taint the World Cup. "
