    • I actually had a laugh sometime about a comment our old friend from here TAB Forever made one day in regards to Forbury Park, and his words were about Forbury......frittered all their money away, now I know that in his strange perception of life anything out of Auckland don't matter but any money from Forbury would be the biggest insult to all Harness people in the South, many in the South don't give two hoots about Auckland, me included,  that money stays in the South, I'm not actually sure Forbury closing was entirely about money as such, there was also a desire to base more of the racing in the horse population areas, Southland, Canterbury, Alexandra  Park got themselves in this mess don't rely on the South to bail them out.   Might add the amount Forbury sold for is petty cash in relation to what Auckland are in it for, sort out their own mess.
    • Very innovative thinking. From what I have read from people posting who are linked to Avondale, they are too busy being bitter to ever be that clever
    • Disagree forget about the main stand its actually top class. Now if Avondale had a bit of nous they would have purchased Dargaville racecourse. Used the Avondale track as security, worked out a deal with the Dargaville Club, and Auckland Trotting club with the intention of staging combined gallops/harness meetings with also involvement of Whangarei Racing Club. The annual Agricultural Fieldays  https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/20000-people-attend-northland-field-days/XRTBL7GIMFHI3L6WH5BKD3UV2A/  are a major Northland event so that organisation would have needed to be on board.  Once all those organisations on board then the Northern Regional Council would get right behind the whole concept resulting in easier funding. A WIN WIN situation.
    • i just had a look at the peter profit headlines. one of his latest headlines was about the forbury money having to be retained for use in the southern region and it being a nightmare for mr steeles plans for auckland. i don't have access to his stories,but the headlines are entertaining enough. Whereas he isn't always accurate on some stories,in the past hes been pretty accurate in his reporting about the auckland trotting club.
