POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE DOMAIN
THE first representative football match of the season which attracted people from all over the Whakatane district to the Domain on Saturday' served to demonstrate once again that Whakatane does not possess a well-appointed sports ground. Probably no other town of 3000 inhabitants in New Zealand is without a football ground that provides a comfortable grandstand for onlookers and adequate dressing rooms and shower room for players. This is an omission that must and almost' certainly will be remedied during the next few years. Now is the time for sportsmen to do something about making portion of the Domain into a ground which will accommodate large crowds in comfort. The district is fortunate that such a large area of land in the centre of the borough was reserved for recreation in the early days of the town. Surely it is the duty of today’s generation to see that the fullest use is made of the ground set aside by a previous generation. . .
