Its a great venue. I'd never been before that match about a month ago. It was jam packed (a record attendance for Pukekura Park, apparently). Weather was perfect too, which is great for someone from Wellington who'd only have seen the sun 3 times this year if he stayed at home all the time.
Haha NP weather is schizo atm. Wouldnt surprise me if El Nino sent rain.
Apparently, CD have announced that Pukekura Park's gonna get more games; given the attendances have been better than Palmy, Napier and Nelson. Good on 'em, I say.
Awesome. Wants to see a Pinga double century on home turf.
He was sadly injured on the match day I went to. Very disappointing for the locals.
There's no room to expand at all, I think. When I was there with their 'record crowd', I think it was in the high 4-thousands of spectators. Can't imagine you could fit too many more than 5k in there.
To expand it youd have to smash up the park, including filling in part of the lake. It wont happen, too many residents opposed. Theyre already livid over new practice nets.
Yeah, Greg Morgan is unlucky enough not to have got a game
Also liked the bay oval. Not serious suggestions here but they would be two nice test grounds
Best 20/20 game I've ever been to it must be said, the crowd was going nuts when ND ran out Napier. But my god, how good is Taylor. Insane hitting.
