Hutt Rec Games - Bellevue and buses etc

Thats probably very true. But i think its easier to get from the hutt to wellington, than the other way around. From upper hutt you get on the train at upper hutt station, and when you get off youre there. If you could get a direct train from Miramar to Upper Hutt, you might get more people heading out. I dunno. Ive never commuted to and from Hutt on a regular basis so i might be missing something..

Thankfully for me i live on Willis Street and dont really have an excuse not to go to games, even those in the Hutt.

You can say the same thing about getting from any suburb in Upper Hutt to the train station (with way less frequent buses). Except you then have an hour long train ride instead of a 20 minute one. 

Trains are not free as buses are for season ticket holders. Club should really organise that people with tickets get free public transport to and from the game. Should boost pre-sales a little bit, knowing that you need to have a ticket to get the deal.

I'm prepared to get the train, bus or drive to a game. I see that as a requirement of attending any live sport.
If where you live makes travelling to the game difficult or inconvenient, then attendance is determined by your level of interest/desire in watching a 'live' game (also having friends prepared to be the sober driver on rotation) 
Please appreciate that travel to most home games on Wellington buses is free, as a season ticketholder. 
Look upon any extra travel cost to the Hutt as a small contribution to watching the 'Nix in a boutique stadium

Note: This may be my first 'positive'/'non-negative' post. Normal service to be resumed very quickly :-)   

So who's backyard close to the Hutt Wreck is having the crate party before the match?

Stupid CBD liquor ban :\

14 days to go!

#shambles 

what is the relevance of these pictures?

pic number 2 is relevant.

How high do you reckon the temp stands will be, I hate watching from ground level.

I thought some people may be interested in how things were progressing.  But will stop posting if it is annoying.

Keep posting O6.  Much appreciated!

yes keep showing them, nice to see the progress on the ground.

Positive encouragement yet again? Take no notice O6! Some people are just never happy regardless of what others do. I think it is interesting to see how this ground is being transformed but I guess we are just a small minority.

I think the problem people have with the photos is that the development at the far side of the ground from the existing stand has nothing to do with the stadium the Nix are building, that's why it's not relevant.

I've got some pictures of the bloke doing the building work at my place;

 and some lovely snaps of the wife on this year's holidays if anyone's interested?

Bit over the top ballane

The main take outs for me are that with two weeks to go, the ground is in mint condition and work is about to commence on assembling the temporary stands. Thanks to Ocean06 and Mr Stevens for the Pics.

The other take out is that you'll never get everyone to agree. Some people are interested ONLY in the construction of the ground for the Nix games. Others are interested in that PLUS the other work at the Hutt Rec. Some are not interested at all. Some think the photos could be better, some think they are great.

That's normal.

If you don't like O6's photos, go and take som better ones yourself. O6, don't stress if some people are critical - there will always be some of that. Some of think it is great that you took the initiative to go and take some pics. Personally if you took a close up of the sole of your shoe I wouldn't mind. Do whatever makes you happy.

Seriously, why are people getting angsty about some photos? If you don't wanna see photos/discussion, don't come on the forums. Easy.

Photos are great! But what this forum needs is a weekly game to talk about!

My comment regarding the photos was in response to someone saying it was a shambles. The fact the so called shambles is no where near the pitch was the reasoning behind my comment. Of course the development of the ground is interesting even though these three games are likely to be the only ones at the ground for a long time

Good. Well we've pretty thoroughly discussed the pros/cons of the photos. What I'm really pissed about is the choice of camera.

Next topic please.

This thread is embarrassing. (Not the photos, I appreciate the effort. Just the cods that are moaning) 

What base course material have the contractors used here?  Have they considered lime stabilisation as cost-effective alternative?

Your base material is ineffectual?

I doubt that she is still a supporter since she's no longer with that pseudo-intellectual, real-life twunt Brand

Stupid word filter won't let me type tw@t.

Those temp seats can be assembled pretty quickly. They've installed 3000ish in the space of 4-5 days at other venues in the past

What we need is a montage

Montage!

Came into thread expecting 28 new posts of updates etc - pretty much all angst over photos.

Game day is closer!

My "relevance" question which triggered some angst :>( was trying to determine whether pics of major earthworks for an artificial pitch were linked in any way to how the temporary seating is coming along and the pitch condition?
