John Richard Bryan
Eden Park poem
Location: Gate D
Dunedin Charitable poet John Richard Bryan dedicates his spare time to raising money for worthy causes and has kindly donated a series of poems relating to rugby to the Maroon Foundation Charitable Trust.
Enjoyment filled with pleasure when coming to this ground
and all those fans who gather will never be let down
Delight it gives them plenty – for adults, girls, and boys
you see it in their faces from that total look of joy
Excitement filled with drama when watching all those games
this park that sets a standard and how you love our name
Nobody does it better and you have our guarantee
the public leave ecstatic, as thrilled as they can be
Perfection in a venue that nowhere else can beat
and when you come to visit you get an awesome treat
Amazing is the word of choice our patrons like to say
and you can come here often both in those nights and days
Respect is earned not given and how we set the mark
as AUCKLAND is the city and our ground is EDEN PARK
Keeping up that standard our nation does expect
and if you have not been here you know you should be next
As seeing is believing, that’s the truth and not a lie
so come here to our venue, the finest money buys
New Zealand is our country and two islands form our name and you
know in your heart of hearts you are so glad you came
So spread the word about us and cheer our name about
and do not be embarrassed if you all yell and shout
Our ground cannot be bettered that we call EDEN PARK
and if you want to prove it, you only have to ask
