Getting slightly OT but as the OP I can guess I can do this :-)  Do we want the next round to be in Auckland (somebody even mischievously suggested Welliington as it needs the infusion of tourists :-) ) or is compeition so far away from being something that Kiwis support that we don't really care where it's hosted? Looking back at a doco on the AC from when NZ first won the cup and the red socks campaign, it is fairly the excitement has gone from the cup as far as most Kiwis are concerned.



It doesn’t really matter what you want. It matters how much money the host city will pay to have the cup. The New Zealand government won’t, and IMO shouldn’t, pay to host the cup so it’s irrelevant.

It matters to the OP as he asked the question and is curious as to our thoughts. 

 

I used to be mad at Dalton for moving it but have come to the realisation that it makes less difference to me than I thought and perhaps it is better to have a well funded, well covered and winning effort away than to limply lose it at home with an underfunded campaign.

 

It is simply too expensive to hold here. I don't want to see long suffering tax and rate payer footing the bill. If the Mowbray and Hart families felt like underpinning it that would be great though!

Yup - when I said "we" I meant the collective NZ sporting public.
