From Theatre of Dreams to ..... The Toast Rack

A very strange thing popped up on the NZID facebook newsfeed today...

Most nicknames for sports stadiums have historic or inspiring names and nicknames, something the fans of those teams say with affection and pride. (Maybe not if your a Newcastle fan at the moment)

However, the stadium in Dunedin, officially called the Forsyth Barr Stadium, and which recently hosted a few RWC matches (England vs Romania, Scotland vs Georgia and Ireland vs Italy) has some very strange nicknames....

The Toast Rack, The Playstation, The Lunchbox and The Chilly Bin are just a few...

Hardly striking fear into the hearts of the opponents are they....
