I don’t work for that company anymore so my trips to Takapuna are no more but I loved going there and had some good times in city as well. The only thing I don’t miss was the car journey from the airport to Takapuna, just felt like forever, I know it wasn’t but always felt like it.

The Eastern playoff against Hawks is best of 7 games home & away ( Bucks won the 6th game , aggregate is 4-2) , these are home fans watching at home & celebration after qualifying for final. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 80's they had some great teams but we always beat them in the playoffs. Small city with no history of sports success. Good luck to them. Can't hurt Villa, either!

So you’re telling me when a Small Heath fan buys a Victoria Sponge from Morrison’s to have sex with, that the money goes into our transfer kitty? 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
