I haven't made any such claims. Now who's "mincing"! The Clubs OWNED the track assets - who's job in the first instance was it to look after their assets? Instead of looking for scapegoats (which seems to be a universal hobby in NZ) accept that ALL stakeholders are responsible for the state of the tracks. The industry used and abused those tracks for decades and never put anything back in. A collorary is the collapse of traditional farming systems throughout the country. At least with those the land owners knew they had to change or they wouldn't eat! Well the other side of the argument is that NZTR HAVE grasped "the bigger picture" however the Clubs dug their toes in and said "you can't touch our assets - we know best"! That's why the industry is in the situation it is with the need to sell assets to bring what's left up to standard!! Hell even one of you so called favoured Clubs had to sell its hill to fix it's track!! -

Stop mincing my words in effort to look like youre wining an arguement. Of course NZTR should have provided some assistance in the infrastructure space, their entire reason for being is dependent on it. You make frivolous claims like the clubs could trust NZTR when it came to anything, that in my experience has never been the case. That's created an issue for the industry that will likely never be over come. NZTR have for a very long time been agenda driven , never able to grasp the bigger picture, always playing favourites based on their agenda and consistently underperforming or incompetent . This has contributed to the industry being in the dire state it is now with regards to infrastructure, -
