Think the parents are giving it the big fk off
I think you're right. Power to the people!
Whatever. People are idiots. I bet none of these parents will ever even bother to question how come junior's club can afford to pay him $200 a game. And even if they do they won't give a fuck.
Anyway, NZF should kick this policy for touch and hike NTC fees to recover the same amount. Good luck to the parents getting the media to show any interest in that.
Then they should commission a full independent review of the funding of football in NZ, with recommendations on priorities and how to achieve the best value for money.
