  • Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki
    Mellow Yarrow he story behind the plight of Yarrow Stadium is full of “what-ifs” and “with-the-benefit-of-hindsights”. T What if they hadn’t built Taranaki’s premier rugby ground in a swampy valley? What if the NIMBY neighbours around Sanders Park in Westown had accepted the first plan to build Rugby Park there in 1927? With the benefit of hindsight, should the playing field have been laid west-to-east instead of north-south, so the grandstands weren’t built on fill? Now that both stands have been declared earthquake-prone, a lot more what-ifs loom over the investigation into what can be done with the stadium...including the big one – can it stay there? Although Yarrow Stadium may never again attract crowds as big those during last century's Ranfurly Shield eras and international games – nearly 40,000 - memories of extraordinary occasions linger within most Taranaki family histories. We’ve got too much in to abandon the place, and initial alarm has been displaced by determination to fix it. WORDS: Jim Tucker PHOTOS: Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki Mellow Yarrow, Live, August issue 2018 DRAFT 1 f he was still alive, there’d be nobody more shocked than James McLeod (above) at the news Yarrow Stadium’s stands have been declared an earthquake risk. He died in I 1944 after a distinguished career as a politician, chair of the Taranaki Rugby Football Union for more than 30 years, manager of the provincial team and at least one All Black touring team – and the man most responsible for building Rugby Park.
