"We have always had an open mind in terms of talking to whoever about what might be other options and what they might look like," Laxon said.
"The current proposal from the RFA unfortunately does not meet what our requirements would be at another ground. If we were to seriously consider going somewhere else, then the very minimum is the replication of what we've got here."
The proposal is for Western Springs to use drop-in pitches with the venue to also be hosting activities such as Australian Rules and concerts. AC calculate they have about 50 days a season when the pitches are used for playing and training at the outer oval. A drop-in pitch is not practical.
"We need a wicket block and that's one speed bump in terms of what they currently have on the table," Laxon said.
He would also like to talk through developments with the RFA.
"Over the last 12-18 months those conversations have been almost exclusively with NZC rather than ourselves, which is their prerogative. You could say we're disappointed. It would be nice to sit down and at least explore what some options would look like."
Laxon pointed out there is no compulsion for AC to move anywhere. There is potential for NZC to be playing its matches at a new stadium and Auckland using Eden Park's outer oval.
"I sincerely hope that's not what it comes to. I don't think that's necessarily the healthiest position for New Zealand Cricket in general."
There's been no pressure from NZC to fall in line with the national organisation's wishes.
"We've both been pretty clear with each other. They've got their priorities what they want to do about a stadium for international cricket and we've been clear with Eden Park provides for us.
"We will try and align as best we can. But we could be going in slightly divergent directions. Ideally, we'd like to get to the point where we're back in the same boat, but it might take a little while to get there."
