Wellington Rugby Races

[Griffin 62]

What are the chances of the Wellington committee being proactive and starting their meeting early/finishing early to get the punters to both the races and the rugby for the semi final at 4.30pm?

Put on a train?

Too Hard?

Never too hard , simply couldn't care less , the term pro active left racing many moons ago .

But two things jump out at me , 1 not many will be going to the races to start with , 2 , given a choice most would pick the rugby anyway .

Will the trains be running - or replaced by buses due to track issues?

It's got nothing to do whatsoever to with the Wellington Racing Club.

They don't set the time that the races start and finish.

End of the subject, full stop.

P.S. Rugby isn't faring much better in this day and age......just saying

Rugby world wide or just NZ? Some of the crowds I’m seeing overseas are massive.

If you put it World terms, Rugby is Dannevirke, Rugby League is Eketahuna and Football is New York

Think you have Dannevirke and Eketahuna back to front,

Is this thread going to turn into another moan fest? Getting weary of the constant moaning. TV, Newspapers, blogs. Its repetitive and damaging to the psyche. A reason theres a brain drain on? I reckon!

You asked if rugby was a World Game, so I put it into context

Be interesting to see how many turn up this week for the Hurricanes game, smart move playing a but earlier at this time of year, I find the term local derby rather amusing, it is a term used in English soccer, maybe other places and sports too for games played by two teams from same city, not Country.
