Its been over half a year since this clash, and all I can remember is the mediocrity of the event itself.

This fixture marked a particularly sorry tale in the bible of sorry tales, "The North Harbour RFU Guide to Matchday Preparations". For a start we closed one half of the stadium which was slightly unusual but reflected the shocking attendance and piss-poor season Harbour where dishing out to its small band of loyal fools. This in itself didn't annoy me too much, despite not sitting in my seat, (a seat purchased in a season ticket) it did make sense to save cash on cleaning that side of our barren facility. The thing that did annoy me was been asked for 3 different prices for the same seat. It didn't really matter where you sat for this game, however you could be paying a seven dollars difference for this amazing privilege. We promptly sat at one end of the ground next to a local fast food vendor, which closed down on our arrival. (causing financial chaos for a family relying on North Harbour to generate additional funds for their domestic unit - silly people).

Can't remember the score, don't care, I think we won but didn't set the world on fire with our passion and flair. Well there is another season soon, what awaits us is a bloody mystery.
