"It's very difficult to control everyone in the crowd but I think, generally, we have a good fan base of sports followers here who are more interested in how the cricket is going rather than having a crack at a particular player so that's how I see that."
While Lander wasn't aware of what had transpired at the Basin Reserve with the cash register till bells and fans waving dollar bills at convicted spot fixer Mohammad Amir in last Friday's T20 and Monday's ODI, he didn't expect a repeat at McLean Park "at an official level".
"That's something for New Zealand Cricket to work through with their contracting people, whether it's the PA announcer or anyone else."
People often paid money to watch a game, he said, to have a few beers and fun amid some banter and humour.
"If that happens I don't have any problems. It's where it becomes personal and nasty, ICC in particular and New Zealand Cricket, have been strong on stamping out racist mantra, if you like, because that will be seen as offensive and unnecessary."
A few summers ago fans from a corporate box labelled Pakistan players "terrorists".
Lander said security would identify culprits before warning and/or removing them from the premises, depending on the seriousness of offences.
The police, in conjunction with the council, have established an alcohol management plan which they will monitor before making decisions on pulling the plug on liquor sales.
"If there are any concerns the sale of alcohol is causing any issues then they can act but I don't expect that to happen ...
"If it does, it'll be a case of a particular person who has had too much to drink or is being abusive without having too much to drink in which case they will be spoken to or ejected."
Lander said McLean Park corporate hospitality booths would be treated no different to any individual ticket holders in terms of policing unruly behaviour.
"Every one in every single area has bought the same ticket to come into the venue. If that ticket's been embellished with a corporate hospitality space that's fine but everyone, in purchasing a ticket for the venue, regardless of whether they are in a corporate box or the embankment, have entered into a contract with the venue and the provider of the game [NZ Cricket] that they will abide by the conditions of the game," he said, adding those conditions were stipulated on the website and Ticketek also directed fans to them from the back of the ticket.
NZ Cricket had protocols with all parties, including security firm Red Badge, to have access to TV footage of fans on the Harris Stand, the Graeme Lowe Stand and the embankment but there would be no seating on the Centennial Stand next to the sightscreen.
The Chapman Stand would seat CD Cricket corporate hospitality fans and he wasn't expecting any issues there.
"We probably self-believe that rather than start talking to security staff about that and control that as a matter of cause."
