I think you will find Bruce will take as many teams that want to come and then hoping the crowd will follow

I think you will find Bruce will take as many teams that want to come and then hoping the crowd will follow As hes said many times on the radio show the ideal number is 7. Start getting more and all sorts of various costs come in to play including an aditional cost to SNZ for 8 or more teams. However this years Teams Nats is looking to be the biggest in some time! Especially with the Eagles working behind the scenes we could be seeing 10 teams. |

Maybe the Teams Nationals should be on at the end of April all the time.

In saying that, with the old grandstand gone and a new temporary one sitting in its place things are 100% better than this time last year. Hope they get the teams and the crowd. |

With potentially 9 or 10 teams and $30 for an Adult that's good value. Hopefully we get good crowds both nights.

Should encourage a few extra visitors to attend anyway. Hard to get some of us lazy and tired (Covid'd out) Aucklanders out at night from our warm and cozy recliner rockers. |

It will still be warm enough for you Barry. The view from the top of the Grandstand is almost as good as the old one. Bring a pillow and blankie.

It is a great view, have watched a couple of meetings from the new stand this season and for those of us that gravitated to the top deck of the old stand, it’s a pretty good replacement. Barry B / |

I wouldnt admit to that.Dont want to give Bruce any ideas.He might bump up the admission. You have two options. Pay the price. Or not to pay.the price. Every year it sells out faster and faster. So prices goes up. Demand. If everybody went stuff this. Didnt buy the price would come down. We as consumers set the price. And right now we are telling bruce we cant get enough and flood to palmy. Another price hike is in order. Why sell something for 50 bucks if everybody would still pay 120? If you willing to pay it but are not happy thats how business works. Ive reached my limit. Ive seen what i needed to see. Up the hawke eyes. |

for more than 5 or 6 teams, I am well happy to do 40 night one and 50 night 2 for entry. They don't have the crowd capacity that Palmy has so to make the event happen lets go!

I'm sure The club will accept your payment at the gate : Not sure all spectators would join you though And that is for the club to decide. Amount of teams vs gate price is their issue. They can only fit in so many paying fans. More than happy to do 25 and 30 if thats what Bruce wants. Possibly 9 teams attending should command a decent gate. |

Bugger that, I wouldn't be wanting to pay 40 or 50 bucks for 5 or 6 teams, Huntly has 8 I think and that's only 30 bucks |

The good news is that its only $30.00 per adult for for the Teams nationals at WP, and for what could be 9 or 10 teams. (speedinaway post)
Stacks up PRETTY DAM GOOD against any other teams event in the country, as far as value for money goes.
