TAB For Ever Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 7 hours ago, Chief Stipe said: We already have some good grass tracks that dont need fixing but the suits have decreed that we can't use them. Plus the $50million spent at Ellerslie hasn't worked out that well yet. Meanwhile Pukekohe is stuffed and there is a Mexican standoff at Avondale. Build a bridge Chief , Ellerslie will become a brilliant asset ...it already NZ's only international track. Pukekohe was rated 2nd best track in NZ last year. Avondale a disgrace of a facility ....needs to be forgotten about...if any sale proceeds go toward Waikato Greenfields it would be brilliant but even if not ,Waikato should go ahead ASAP.

Where the hell are they going to build it for less than $80m? Better to upgrade Te Aroha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthetic tracks are made for horse racing.....most days around the World there are more horse races held on clay ,poly , synthetic , dirt tracks than grass tacks. Get with the program......... Yeahh, I heard they took the Crusaders for a quiet run round the Riccarton poly yesterday to exercise the advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But gradually getting closer and with more co-operation , good weather and bit of money we should be well set up for the future. It was never going to be a 5 min job ! But the moaners will keep on moaning , so set an example Chief ,cheer up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on wooden floors in the Gym.......actually the Racing /rugby /Sport comparison is a good one and worthy of a separate thread.
