Why don't they put it back to a club based competition run in the winter. Initially as the current regional leagues Northern, Central, Mainland and Southern. From there take the 2 top teams in each league into a "national league" the play 1 full round of games. Top team in each region has 4 home games and 3 away. Then you would have a National club competition, pathway for all clubs promotion and religion within regions.

Ideas along the lines of the bold part seem to be gaining more and more traction in the football community.

Jesus wept. Obviously this section of the "football community" haven't read B. Holloway's The National League Debates.

The current NZFC format has worked for 15 years with a few tweaks, after the previous 15 years when they tried a dozen different formats and all of them failed for varying reasons. Why mess with success because of a temporary funding hiccup, especially when a plan for development/expansion was already in place.
