Ken Laban: Sky Sport rugby commentator on the Wellington Lions abandoning Sky Stadium for the smaller Jerry Collins Stadium - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

After 24 seasons, the Wellington Lions are set to ditch Sky Stadium and downsize their venue for NPC rugby matches.

It was revealed today that discussions have taken place- and the Lions will hold future matches at the Jerry Collins Stadium amid low attendance and challenging finances.

Rugby commentator Ken Laban disagrees with this decision- and doesn't think it's the right way forward.

"I don't think the answer is to give up on the community and give up on the people supporting Wellington by going to a much smaller stadium- and in comparison, a very underwhelming venue."
