I went into this thinking they would be complaining we didn't have perfect grass or something like that. But nope, there's a cricket pitch in the middle of the field that they had been promised would be removed before they got there.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to be upset about, how could you have proper practice matches while having to avoid a cricket pitch in the middle of the field?

Yeah, assuming they were really promised that, it makes the organisers look a bit amateur!

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

Yep, totally agree. Someone has dropped the ball here (pun intended).

[–] thevoyage@no.lastname.nz 4 points 1 year ago

Oof, that's not a good look for us at all.

They can't find a suitable pitch anywhere in Tauranga or surrounding areas for this team to practice on? WTF?
