Indoor Stadium options
- Eye of the Fish
- In the interests of being a good citizen, and supporting the search for another possible site for the TSB Arena should it chose to relocate away from it’s foreshore-grabbing frontline position (surely the most pointless place for a ‘black box’ to be), I thought it may be useful to research some other sites around town that have been mooted.

BNU Pilsner v Miramar Rangers 17 July 2010
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- At 2.25pm Miramar Rangers comprised a sorry rain-soaked crew of six players, so how easy it would have been for Pilsner to claim the points and warm up for the rugby with a few jars in the comfort of the pub. But hey, you turn up and you want to play, rain or shine - and amazingly so did they. By 2.45pm the home team had amassed ten players, one of whom was a mate of Carl’s who had just come along with us for a look-see, so it was game on, reffed by Smithy, albeit in the wrong colour jacket.

Where did I stick my Stadium?
- Eye of the Fish
- Following swiftly on from the news that Wellington Waterfront is even thinking of demolishing the existing stadium, comes the question: If not there, then where? Its clear that the current site can’t cope with much more expansion, given that it is quite a large building already, and I can’t see anyone being particularly happy at the big shed getting even bigger or shedier.

A Tale of Four Matches This Time...
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- Oops - I have been a bit lazy with the write-ups! Las Vegas is now a distant memory and I’ve forgotten a lot of what happened in the games so I’m thinking this will be brief (and hopefully not too fictional)…! It’s also worth noting that we’re still waiting for some proper commentary from somebody who actually played on the Queen’s Birthday weekend game – any volunteers…?!? ;-)
