+x+x+x+x+xLol. Christchurch is pretty bad as well, their stadium is a temporary set up yet somehow it's going to host a world cup. NZ rugby refused to play a Lions Tour test match on the south Island and just had 2 at Eden Park. Not to mention the infrastructure on the south Island is pretty atrocious as well, Christchurch is still sadly a basketcase 10 years after the earthquake and Dunedin might have a cool stadium but it is still a glorified village. I'm yet to learn how they are supposed to cope with their tiny airport and limited accommodation. According to our own bid book, there are only 601 hotel rooms in Dunedin. How's that going to work? From the bid book: Dunedin Existing and planned hotel rooms by 2023 28 - 5 Star Rooms 496 - 4 Star Rooms 77 - 3 Star Rooms 2433 - Other Rooms 3,034 - Total From the bid book: Launceston Existing and planned hotel rooms by 2023 0 - 5 Star Rooms 1084 - 4 Star Rooms 832 - 3 Star Rooms 831 - Other Rooms 2,747 - Total https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/bid-book-australia-and-new-zealand.pdf?cloudid=fwtyuwa9pb3encyeqlwc Does it say "Other Rooms", or "Other (Airbnb & cabins)" in your link? There are 601 hotel rooms in total across the three classes in the bid book for Dunedin, and 2,433 "Other (Airbnb & Cabins)".  Dunedin has already hosted a group at the U20 football world cup back in 2015. So they must have the capacity to do it. I'm sure even U20 WC players and staff would demand a reasonable level of facilities. Also alot of super rugby teams in the past, spend the lead up to Dunedin games based in Queeenstown. Plenty of hotels there. Dunedin also hosted a bunch of games successfully at the 2011 Rugby world Cup. This included england with there big player and staffing contingent. Hopefully that will be enough to convince the voters at FIFA.

Venues that don't meet FIFA standards, several ovals (one of which is a shit box in Launceston) and the fact that NZ was included which just increases travel times for little benefit.

Ovals IMO shouldn't matter. a lot of mens' World Cup Finals have been held in stadiums that aren't exactly rectangular, or are rectangular in the sense that ANZ Stadium is rectangular. Since 1998 (First time the mens' world cup was held with 32 countries), I would really only count 2 as rectangular. Stade de France would then make it 3.

Can you expand on your assertion that ‘Venues don’t meet FIFA standards’(do you mean all or some). Football is often played in oval shaped stadiums. I would venture to say that New Zealand would be a very popular place for overseas visitors to watch World Cup football.

I would venture to say that New Zealand would be a very popular place for overseas visitors to watch World Cup football. Hindmarsh is too small and needs an overhaul to meet FIFA's other standards for things like Media and Corporate areas, we are basically relying on FIFA good will for that stadium to get approved. The hill and standing areas in Newcastle and Perth respectively will also not be allowed to be used unless FIFA has relaxed rules on stadiums being strictly all seaters since I last heard. Oval Stadiums are not the same as athletics tracks. They are even further from the action on the sidelines and that is why Adelaide Oval is also not FIFA compliant. NZ stadiums are either shitboxes, ovals, temporary stadiums or in glorified villages with little infrastructure to cope with a major event, they offer nothing substantial to the bid other than a couple of Oceania votes. The fact is our main competitor in Japan is only putting forward one venue that is anything other than a rectangular stadium, they are all modern venues and all of the host cities are in major cities that are within 5 hours train connection of each other apart from Sapporo which is still the 5th biggest city in Japan. Australia's bid has yet again been given the half arsed "yeah nah that's good enough" effort that the 2022 bid got back in 2010.

Japan is having the Olympics and hosted the rugby World Cup. They also had the men’s World Cup in 2002. Give us a chance. The 2015 Asian cup Was very successful and doesn’t get enough recognition imo

Hindmarsh is being upgraded if our bid is successful, temporary seating will be installed on what you refer to as a hill at HBF Park and the grass hills at McDonald Jones Stadium will either have temporary seating or be closed off (although it was deemed suitable for the AFC Cup). Your anti New Zealand bias is showing judging by your descriptions of World Cup venues there. By the way, FIFA tournaments have been held in NZ in the past.

Japan & Korea hosted a World Cup & the World Cup hosted in Brazil had venues that also took a very long time to get to from one part of the country to the other. ;) It won't be an issue.

Surely the compliant upgraded capacity would have been published in the bid book if that was the plan instead of the non compliant under 20k figure?

+xThank you for posting that information, so no upgrade but still a positive outcome. They'll add 3,500 temporary seats if the bid gets up like they did for the 2000 Olympics, but that will only make a total of 18,435. Unfortunately the minimum is 20,000, so I for one am very disappointed with the half-arsed effort and I fear that we haven't done enough to win hosting rights.
