Mickey beat me to it, it's Campo alright...
Stunning it is, but the history is in Kings Park. So I would way rather prefer they remain in the Tank.

Same problem down here as well, would love to see WP move to the Cape Town Stadium but Newlands is where the history is at 
Did you see how Bismarck Du Plessis almost got punched in the nutsack again? Buckley threw a jab, but couldn't connect. Followed it up with a straight right up K@kmarck's a hole. lol Was around the 50th minute, when Bismark was protesting that Buckley was retaliating - after he raked Buckley in the side when he was on the ground.

Playing Devil's Advocate, but Natal Rugby used to be played at Kingsmead, would you like them to move back there?
The simple truth is that the city won't be funding any upgrades to Kings Park, and sponsers will likley be more tentitive. Durban could also do what CT is doing, and squeeze the rugby union. WP are going to need to pay rates and traffic service fees next year.

Looks like the Sharks are staying at Kings Park. Cant say I'm not happy.

In the end it was always going to be a purely financial decision. Regardless of that, I'm glad that we are staying at Kings Park!!

Wales played right into Fiji's hands by letting the game get loose and open. Wales absolutely annihilated Fiji in the scrums and even got a penalty try, yet they tried to "out run" the Fijians - not wise! They also "rested" some of their top players, implying that they thought that Fiji would be easy opponents. Surprise, surprise!!!!

I'm very disappointed. Such a visually stunning stadium and it's going to be totally under utilized!! I recently was fortunate enough to watch a test at Soccer City and what a fantastic experience that was compared to Loftus or Ellis Park. It never felt like there were 95000 there other than when they spoke as one... The infrastructure in and around the stadium is just magnificent as I'm sure it is at the Moses Madhiba.. I've never been to Kings Park so not really commenting from 1st hand experience but surely the experience of visiting a world class, new stadium would far exceed that of visiting an old and outdated one (historical value not withstanding)?
I expected a better result for Wales. After winning the 6-nations not too long back, they haven't kicked on. Pity.
The problem is Soccer City wasnt built with a Atheltics track in mind, Moses Mabhida was and so you aren't exactly in the action as you would be in Kings Park. Trust me I watched one of the World Cup matches there and it was great, for soccer, not for an intense game like rugby.
