ngakonui grass Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 People are outraged by the scheduling of the All Blacks games and the Womans rugby. Me ,i won't be watching either of them.Other things rank well above both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The All Blacks game is on Sky sport, while the Black ferns game is on Spark, I have neither, so will just watch highlights when they come on YouTube. I think the older I have got the less concerned I am if I don’t watch anything live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know what the fuss is all about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I did exactly that back in the 70s, in fact many baby boomers did. I admit that I was lucky I worked in IT and the computer system of the organisation I worked for was only available for me to carry out development work on a Sunday evening. So, it was minimum 4 hours double time. The Womens World Cup is a farce, only 12 teams and I heard Cocksedge saying something like the world is watching. In 2017 I was in the UK while The Womens World Cup was being played and I never saw anything in the media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vividly recall that my first job out of university, I was on a salary of $6,000 pa. I was able to save $20k, get a $73K mortgage, and buy a house in Balmoral, Auckland for $93K. Just checked, and the CV on that place is now 4.65 mil. The way house prices have exploded in NZ over the last 40 years, is a national scandal. Back to my point, in those days a person on their own on reasonable money could buy a house, afford to live etc etc. Now, as you allude to, it is a struggle for 2 people to stand still, let alone make any headway 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turny Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Rugby has been corporatised and an average family going to a test costs a bloody fortune, so that don't happen ... along the way support has been lost ... don't think too many people really care ... it is no longer that important Similar to NZ Racing ... isolating the fan base Edited October 27, 2022 by Turny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goodness you talk some unsubstantiated shiit at times. Ever considered some of the World best scientists are Christians. Probably not because that would make you think outside your own narrative which is narrow/shallow to say the least. Stick to horses Barry and what you know ,not what you don't know.

The Black Ferns game is on TV3 delayed by an hour (8.30) so no problems there.Although why anyone would want to watch these 50 point romps is beyond me.)I'm not interested till they hit France and England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Normally I would debate the issue. But as they say, don't argue with a fool as those listening wont be able to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Barry I don't agree with your "opinion", and nor do millions of other people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I recall a couple of years ago the Catholic Church sold about 8 churches in the Wairarapa due to virtually nil attendance. In 2019 whilst we were in London we had a spare morning, so we jumped on one of those scenic double decker's. The Guide on the bus informed us as we went past a cathedral that in the 19th century it was law that everyone had to attend church, and many were arrested and tried for not attending.
