Griffin 57 Report post Posted June 10 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? Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . fermoy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insider 4,237 Report post Posted June 10 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 We're Doomed, Robert Best, bloke and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerula 1,437 Report post Posted June 10 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.

mikenz 1,170 Report post Posted June 11 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.
