The battle for Auckland's Western Springs Stadium

From Saturday Morning, 7:40 am today

The battle for Auckland's Western Springs Stadium - the home of the Ponsonby Rugby Club - is heating up with two former All Blacks on either side of the debate.

One proposal - by a group including former All Black Lock, Ali Williams is a privately funded 12 and a half thousand seat sports stadium.

Another - from All Black legend Sir Bryan Williams, is pushing for the ground to retain its current character and public access.

Mihi speaks to Sir Bryan and Ashley Stanley, daughter of former all Black Joe Stanley - she's a parent at the Ponsonby Rugby Club.
