Poll: Do you like the idea of bands at the rugby?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Rugby fans have been left disgruntled, but the Chiefs are defending their big price-hike to tickets − some more than tripling from last week − for Saturday’s action at FMG Stadium Waikato.

It comes as the Super Rugby franchise hosts a unique ‘Rugby and Rhythms’ event featuring a double-header of games at their Hamilton home venue, as well as live music from Kiwi artists in and around the ground.

Bargain or big risk? Crown puts Huntly subsidence home on the market

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Crown-owned subsidence property has come on the market, but whether potential buyers reckon it’s a bargain or risky buy is yet to be seen.

While some might view the Huntly east property as a bargain, Huntly real estate agents reckoned living on top of the mining zone makes some buyers nervous they’re going to “just sink one day”. Although, the agents are fairly confident the area is safe.
