Anyone written to any MPs yet, I knew that some people were keen to do so.....

some more here ...

 

 

and there's more, so we should probably tidy this up somehow and make sure its clear who to send emails to and broadly what to say.

 

I encourage people to write to Trevor Mallard as Minister for Sport and David Cunliffe and Minister for Immigration. Winston is probably to stubborn and now has an entrenched position, whereas the other to still have an opportunity to make themselves the heroes.

 

What to point out:

 

1.) the financial impact on NZ Football (which might end up coming out of your club subs)

2.) the loss of the AW's home fixture against Fiji

3.) the potential (if unlikely) loss of 3 WC points

4.) the potential loss of the U17 Women's World Cup

5.) Whatever the intent of this sanction, its effect in this case has been to punish NZ rather than Fiji. That does not make sense and needs to be put right.

 

We should ask for:

 

1.) reibursement for NZ Football

2.) the visa situation to be fixed so that we can a.) play Fiji at home and b.) dont lose any other Fifa matches or tournaments.

 

Email addresses for those two Ministers are:

 

 

Send to them and to any other local MPs you can think of. more the merrier.

 

Go forth.

 

We will tidy up these posts to centralise discussion.
