In an attempt to lift the mood of NZ BSky, here are the 64 nominations for my "NZ's Most Underwhelming Tourist Attraction" poll back in 2021. They will all be on one thread but may take me a while to complete.

For each of the 64, their number is their eventual placing in the poll (top 32 only)

Can still sing all of

"At the Bullring Shopping Centre,
there's a smile on every face.
From the moment that you enter,
you know it's a friendly place.
There's parking galore and so much more,
and the famous indoor market.
Come by bus or come by car,
There's a place where you can park it."

That was around the time of my first game. Grew up in Shropshire and went to Loughborough Uni in 82. Tried all the 3 teams in the first division, and got hooked on Notts and it certainly wasn't for the results - but they were very entertaining at both ends of the pitch.

Yeah was struggling with how to represent that.

As I get older, my only clear memories are UK adverts from the 70s and 80s.

That's a couple of tough games although I expect both sides won't put out their strongest XIs.
