1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,279 Speaker 1: Elliot Smith Sports Talkhoasters with US out of Allied. 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: Hello, Heather Heaps. The tickets available for the Yeah, this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: is tomorrow night at Eden Park. You know, were the 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: flagship games of the summer. You would have to think 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: black Caps England. They did a deal yesterday twenty five 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: dollars tickets. They did for about twelve hours. But there 7 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: are still bucket loads of tickets. 8 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Again, how many like half the stadium, a quarter of 9 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: the stadium. 10 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 2: I would say more than half the stadium. I look 11 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: at the ticket map. I mean, it's hard to get 12 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: an exact number, but I look at the tip map 13 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: about twenty minutes ago, buckets a ticket. Now it's probably 14 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: going to rain in Auckland because it's terrible weather across 15 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: the country. But people haven't planned in advance. And that's 16 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: the kind of thing that worries me, is that people 17 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: weren't looking three or four weeks ago to go, let's 18 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: go to black Caps England and buy our tickets. So 19 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: it very rainy tomorrow, very rainy tomorrow. But people also 20 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: haven't put their tickets in advance, not knowing what the 21 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: weather might be. So I think there's a little bit 22 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: of an issue there around this. 23 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: Is it a Thursday night issue? 24 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: Could be a Thursday night issue? 25 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Because tell me asking for a friend who's going me? 26 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: What times are going to wrap up? 27 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: Fifteen first bore, you're probably allow three in a bit now, 28 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: it's probably going to wrap up about ten thirty. 29 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: That's quite late for it Thursday, it. 30 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: Is, Yeah, and people are getting across Auckland. Kingsland's not 31 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: always the easiest, so by. 32 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: The time you know, navigate your way out of the 33 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: cordons and stuff like that, you're getting home at about 34 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: midnight maybe probably yeah, yeah, So isn't that part of 35 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: the problem. 36 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 2: It could well be. And that's the problem I've got 37 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: is that they've squeezed this and it's not New Zealand 38 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: Crickets fault necessarily, but they've had to squeeze this two 39 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: week England tour before they go and play the Ashes 40 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: over in Australia. So you're going to have to play 41 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: They played Monday night earlier in the week, they're playing 42 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: Thursday night. You know, these aren't the traditional Saturday afternoon 43 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: Sunday games of cricket that maybe Friday night that we 44 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: may be used to. Yeah, and so on. I think 45 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 2: it's a you know, it's it's a double issue that. 46 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: Can I just suggest though, twenty five dollars to go 47 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 3: and see the black Caps play England in a T 48 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: twenty is an absolute bargain. 49 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: It's a pretty good deal. 50 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: We should just take it. 51 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely. He looked at some of the other prices though, 52 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: they're edging about sixty dollars. 53 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Oh geez, there you go, hey, running quickly through what's. 54 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: Just dropped with the silver fis so high Performances w 55 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: New Zealand basically admitting that they've been funding sort of 56 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: the reviews and external consultants to come in and try 57 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: and figure out this mess around and the player support 58 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: and the player support, so high performance. 59 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: Sport New Zealand is donkey deep in. 60 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: This well yes, and Nolan Total is on the boards 61 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: of yeah around there as well. Yes, So it's a 62 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: bit of a mess. It's not even further into the mess. 63 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think this is high performance in 64 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: New Zealand. That is what they're there for. Lost their job, 65 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: This is their job to provide the athletes are going 66 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: to put. 67 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: Something to you. 68 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: So somebody said to me today and this is this 69 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: was a conversation. 70 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: About Netball New Zealand. 71 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: I've had two people say this to me actually in 72 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours who have kind of like, 73 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 3: I think, some inside information of what's going on here. 74 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: They said Netball New Zealand and suggested they're not the 75 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: bad guys here. The problem is they cannot defend themselves. 76 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: That's quite may well be getting. 77 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Because of legal the legal ramif it's. 78 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: An employment issue, they say something wrong in the public domain, 79 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: that's going to set them up. It's going to be very. 80 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: Clear where it came from, and then Nolan's camp will 81 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: be able to take harder actions. 82 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 2: And so maybe they're sitting there going jeez, another day 83 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: that we're being absolutely snowballed by more and more criticism. 84 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: They're having to wear it and they can't get on 85 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 2: the front foot about this. But again, the public one answers, 86 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: and that's why you had Mark Mitchell yesterday on your show, 87 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: Willie Jackson also coming out and going, can we please, 88 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: for the love of God sort this out, because the 89 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: public is demanding and going, why hasn't Dame Loleine told 90 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: her there? Why do we not know these allegations? Why 91 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: does she not know the allegation. 92 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: Well exactly, so, I mean, I'm sorry, but what we 93 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: know makes Neckborne News Zealand look terrible. 94 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: That's right.
