barryb 1,647 Report post Posted December 21, 2018 I hear through the grapevine that not all is well, someone may have lost there job in the last few days. Possibly closing for 6 months to rectify the track situation as well. Just a rumour I heard, could be no truth to it but if not probably should happen anyway.

Pam Robson 582 Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Saw a former track manager from Riccarton a couple of days ago, called in to the track to see a few friends/former workmates - he indicated he had a position at Te Rapa. He will be good. 2 jack and barryb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad is gone, down to “restructuring”, inherited a track with bugger all maintenance done to it in the past 5+ years, old fozzy Foskett has been trying to get them to do deep renovation work on it for years. Now they have done it, track has played great last 4-5 meetings! Ken should be gone, look at the turnover of staff in the last 4-5 years, 3 cater crews, now 3 track managers, that only what I know, apparently office staff is worse!! 2 1 Huey, puha and barryb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got to blame someone don't they , yet another example of why the industry heads into oblivion , so many screams for NZRB and NZTR to be restructured when the same thing should happen across the board at a lot of clubs who haven't done much for the progress of the industry.

Yeah you do, but a 30yr old, getting into this old mans game. He’s probably gone forever, and we need the young ones to carry us on! I dont think you can blame what happened there soley on one person, when the tracks has been mis managed for years? Need to find out more I guess tho. Just a shame, he seemed like a keen young man. Hebegebe, that board not tracking well you say? I dont think Ken wants to be there either?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Wood 920 Report post Posted January 14 Ronny Phillips wished to pursue his rugby interests, the track debacle that went on when the new sand was put on was a balls up, and one phone call to Neil Trewwek would have saved the embarrassment, inexperience kicked in and the club paid the price!
