Haha, laughing at the score of 9. By law of averages, you probably would have done better if you just clicked on answers randomly.

I hear some amazing stories about Athletic Park from people I work with, gutted I never got to go to a game there.

I often doubt that my wife actually ever lived around Wellington when we came here after living in the UK, her knowledge is shocking. I wonder sometimes that she is not that dissimilar to Arnie's wife in Total Recall. ForteanTimes2010-01-22 19:49:17

Sure am, The stadium closed in 1999. I went there in the 90s a lot. Went to the last game there.

You haven't missed much. Easily the worst stadium I've ever been in.

And I've been to some dodgy ones.

Not bad since i've only ever been to Wellington twice.

Three for me, and two for them.

Those rugby questions may as well have been about nanotechnology (Wellington based, of course).
