    The current leadership has to have been bought into to cripple the industry, there can be no other explanation. The decisions made just defy belief!
  2. Huey
    I see, well if its not costing NZTR anything to operate , its an even more stupid decision than I thought.

    I'll train you up SLB 2.0 ? Got some sand dunes close to home? I reckon you can take him if it goes the distance. But he looks like he'd be pretty classy on his feet with a decent jab on him. Get your skipping rope out today.

    Isn't Waipa gone also? Where is the benefit in getting rid of Te Teko if it costs the industry nothing to operate or does it? Especially if they can't sell it up.

    I could never afford a high priced one, but I'm not interested in racing on it put it that way.
  6. Huey
    If thats true thats a joke, 32 races probably saved the industry money. I don't get all this carry on over abandonments happens is Aus. particularly around the bushfires , but they don't panic and drop 3 AWT down that will supposedly stop it from happening.

    They'll come back after having had some lunch there with some old mates saying how great it is and how good it will be for NZ racing etc. Why are they going to a track that is incomplete, what is the point? Shouldn't they be going somewhere or Zoom a delegation that currently has a track to really find out what users thoughts are?

    You can be sure it will cost more in NZ also, which makes the entire situation even more of a joke considering what stakes will be. This is why the country/smaller clubs which are self sustainable and considerably cheaper to train at are such an important part of the industry. This AWT situation feels like the TAB website all over again. Is this another situation whereby the industry is attempting to implement changes that reflect the end result without obviously getting to the end result?

    It reads like a disaster waiting to happen, but with the leadership we have in place in NZ racing you'd have to be very confident that things will go very ...oh no wait a minute.
  10. Huey
    I think you're well off the mark there Billy.
  11. Huey
    The more you hear about it ,the more it sounds like yet another well thought out(not!) decision in NZracing .
  12. Huey
    Must have just been a rumour then, someone told me Cambridge would be racing from May next year. Fibre or not I bet that doesn't bother them.
  13. Huey
    Ok thats new, not what I heard.
  14. Huey
    Exactly then some people are telling them they need a flash stand to cater for the shite dates they get given.
  15. Huey
    I have little sympathy for anyone who can't see the excuse about Grandstands is nothing more than a White Elephant excuse to justify closing tracks down, the tracks are what matters, good tracks providing good competitive racing surfaces. ARC have plenty of dining facilities etc, yet no one goes apart from 3 days a year. TV is the future and the grandstands do nothing improve the TV experience for a worldwide punting audience.

    Engage in dialogue - Get shafted by the industry They obviously ain't stupid.
  17. Huey
    If Avondale agreed to a merger with the ARC within 3 years they would get shafted somewhere along the line by the industry or the ARC, do you honestly expect them to trust the people who have been doing their best to get rid of them for years?
  18. Huey
    Not to mention that should be the clubs decision to make, not the industry making it for them.
  19. Huey
    Or the alternative is to leave the club assets alone and let people get on with what they have been doing for years, i.e. providing free product to the industry.
  20. Huey
    He is a bit like listening to the CEO of the TAB and NZTR over the years, tries to talk the talk but doesn't really understand what he is saying. I thought his answer about Avondale was nonsense and they are going to work with the clubs on finding a solution and if they have a good idea they will work with that, wtf have the clubs been trying to do with them since the M Report the problem for the clubs is no one would listen.
  21. Huey
    and here is the thing, just like the last I don't know how many CEOs at the TAB there is absolutely no accountability for anyone at the TAB. Surely the Govt. can see its not just Covid that pushed them over the edge?
  22. Huey
    Even a bail out is wasted on this lot.
  23. Huey
    Yep and all of this on top of a New Look fantabulous TAB that looks about as fit for service as I do to run the Rotorua marathon.
  24. Huey
    Ok where is that house with 5 rooms you're giving me? ;0
  25. Huey
    You'd either have to travel to work (costing you more in time and expenses) or you'd have to relocate , for someone who couldn't give tuppence about you. Still keen?
