field is quite narrow - that's def an issue.

It's a tough one because I agree with what you said but dosn't that describe a few of the grounds - OK Kiwitea street has covered seating (and seating) and DF has seating, both have parking problems.

Anyway the main reason i bit was someone (not you) mentioned Ngahue as a better option - well bugger me sideways that would be a terrible venue - no covered area ANYWHERE - no clubrooms, seating is ok - but the wind, oh the wind....  and finally in my opinion a substandard turf.

I think while Suburbs do free entry that boutique grounds are ok - it is a summer national league so hopefully most games are played without much rain so WGD shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Absolutely agree. Ngahue is a great turf but yeah, I have a bit of a practice here probably twice a week and I don't even bother with any shooting due the wind. The wind is a crock of shark.

And yeah, no clubrooms, and as far as I know no food facilities, no liquor license, and the only toilets are part of the changing rooms?? (I'm not sure).

I can deal with no parking. Kiwitea is my favourite pitch in Auckland (coming from someone who is in no way a a central or city fan!) because everything else is pretty great.

Granted, if BMK is in use (which I assume it was last weekend) I'm not sure where else you'd go. But I can see why fans might not turn up to William Green.

@HN - William Green is turf as well. They also train on turf at Ngahue. I assume BMK was booked.
