The above architects impression is the new entrance
to the Clubs new headquarters in the ASB stand at Eden
Park.
The design contains several changes from the present
premises. At the left the lounge will have a new door, giving
entry to the two boxes that the Barbarians will have for onfield
viewing.
At the right the bar has been moved inward, forming an island,
with a kitchen attached. The plan lists a fireplace
in the foreground, but apparently fire-safety regulations
will not allow this.
Neil Cotton, of the ASC Architects business, said the new
plan had been designed to offer as much space as possible
for the memorabilia that was in the now-demolished clubhouse.
The stained glass windows, a feature of the old house, will
be among the memorabilia incorporated in the new design.
Rugby is a game for gentlemen in
all classes but for no bad sportsman in any class.
Rt Reverend W J Casey, 1894
