but in real seriousness, how do you expect the club to control what the FFA do re scheduling - "Hey, FFA its the nix here, a company in Wellington is not running trains on this coming Sunday, can you please move our game to Friday?" You can imagine the "go get fudgeed" response.
It's not a dig at the FFA. Bus replacements for trains seem to occur rather often on Phoenix matchdays, though.
Had this been a Test match or even a Super 18, Would the maintenance still be going on?? NO. Yes, the scheduling might have been better, usually we cop our game at the same time as Bathurst and this year we avoided that, only for this crap?? Sometimes I wonder at the Council, and other Local bodies and Services like the railways. They say they like the Nix but then hurdles get put up. I wonder what ripoff prices the stadium trust are putting on the food and beverage places around the stadium this season. Prematch Subway or Maccas.
Back to the game, I am really racking my head around a cautious start or an all out assault. For the first season ever, i just can't figure or assume. I like Rudan, he has a I want to be Number one approach, not Number 6 will do.
