00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Darcy Watergrave, host of Sports Talkers with me right now, Hey, dars.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: Greetings, have a sale GP. Well it's here. How good?

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Okay? So how is it that they've managed to remediate

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: the site They could not be remediated before at the

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: win your point, I.

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Don't know, but the lease has expired, so BP no

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: longer have responsibility over that. Was it, shel wrothort was BP?

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Look one of those great big conglomerates and they're one

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: of the gas pumping I don't know, but they've the

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: lease has expired now so they don't have to worry

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: about dealing with that. The mitigating circumstances are they're still

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: a little worried about the possible toxicity of that particular

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: area of tow at limp at Winded Quarter, which is

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: exactly where Sir Russell Coots wants his baby part. From

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: what I can gather, they're going they're looking at the

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: ways to mitigate the threat. It's only for a short

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: amount of time, so that might come into it, like

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: it's only a couple of weeks. Maybe they'll what can

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: you put down to stop that? Maybe rollsome breamworth.

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Out How toxic can the place seriously be? If you're

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: sitting there for like how long you watch this thing

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: for if you're sitting in a stand, well not that long,

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: like a couple of hours.

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know what the toxicity levels are

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: of things like that. I talk aboudiculous it does, but

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: I think that maybe, and I don't know this for sure,

27
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: but Sir Russell cooks after that, Let's face it, that

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: was an embarrassment for him. It's his home city, it's

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: the city of Sales, and he couldn't do what he

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: wanted to do, and he packed the sad, went down

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: and started pestering dolphins. So he's come back again good,

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: And i'd suggest that over the passing time he's made

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: absolutely sure that this embarrassment will not happen again. So

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: whatever James's paol, whatever he's done behind the scenes, I

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: would suggest would work.

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Because the Auckland officials have got the hurry up.

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: What may be you think about all the people on

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: the waterfront, all the businesses on the waterfront that are

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: suffering because the bridge won't go down, They will be

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: absolutely keen to actually get people there. So I expect

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: they would have leaned in as well and said, hey,

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: what can we do about this because this is really

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: essential for major events, and Tataki are Auckland unlimited. This

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: is huge for them. This is a major event and

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: they can't be dropping the ball on this one. So

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: whatever happened in the background, most of us won't care

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: as long as we get.

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm stoked and amazing event. Christ To you take your dolphins,

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: I'll take my boats. Auckland FC. Hey signing it Mount Smart?

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: What is it Mount Smart's actual name?

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Go Media Stadium, Mount Smart.

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I needed to say that other than I'm going to

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: get a text from Mike go Media, crack at me?

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Does he line your pockets? Does he not? Okay, fine,

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: that's all right. That's the nose. And I'm just saying

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: it's a sponsorship. It's like a sponsorship. I feel that

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't have to call any of these stadiums by anything.

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't pay me to do it. Do they.

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I've got nothing from Mike other than abusive texts about this.

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: Like nothing from Mike other than abusive texts.

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to as goodwill, I should start using

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: a proper name. I'm still calling it a Rata tongue,

63
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: which is the name of the hell before people turned

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: up and quirryed it for motorways way back in the day.

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Oh that was great. Settler's a way.

66
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that that it's Mount Smart because they

67
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: have been involved. I suspect from the start.

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: Well, this has been a very poorly kept secret. Everybody's known,

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: but it's now I've finally been official, it's been rubber stamped.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: It's five years. There's not going to be a great

71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: deal of change around the place itself. That all they've

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: got to do is work out the transport, workout deals

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: with at and how to get people from all over

74
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Tommikamakodo there because at the moment, if you're way out

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: in the depths of West Auckland, got to catch eight

76
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 2: hundred trains. If you're lucky, you might get there. Same

77
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: with the North of Auckland. So this being I believe,

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: something that needs to be approached by Auckland EFC saying

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: how can we make this work? Because it's the best

80
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: stadium as far as viewing this consent. It's a rectangular stadium.

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: Plus it's got a little bar out there there. You go,

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh good, They'll make more little bars, trust me, they'll be.

83
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: It's a rectangular stadium that you can see the energy

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: in that place when it's full is extraordinary. So this

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: is this is great news where it goes to what

86
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: five years whether they decided to build another one, because

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: you remember Bill Foley join me on sports Talk, the

88
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: guy who owns all this saying, you know, we want

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: to water front, we want a waterfront one. We're gonna

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: get it going down, and like if you ever dealt

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: with Auckland Stadium before, Auckland Council before and he says, look,

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get things done kind of guy. I said, Okay,

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: we'll just hold that space and see what happened. So

94
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: hopefully so that's where they're going to be. So that's

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: great news.

96
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,680
