They did that to Helensville some years back. Now it's Avondale's turn. I don't think they actually realise they are damaging their own industry by expecting such high fees. It's ridiculous. I remember the place well. Those old buildings where the executive carpark is now is indeed the old Totaliser Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-24536982371821923612010-07-03T20:05:28.175+12:002010-07-03T20:05:28.175+12:00Agreed, Cat.

Biggest concern here is that we could lose Avondale's major green space, our very necessary "lungs", as well as the sports grounds in the middle that are leased at the moment by Auckland City Council. Generations of kids have played there.
