I don't know about you, but I think that Cashmere Tech v Bay Olympic is really going to capture the imagination of the nation.
You see, I read this, and I read others saying with similar conviction: "The current HandyPrem teams are plastic franchises with no real support, everyone would much prefer supporting their winter club."
Do I also detect a bit of Welly-centrism here? You don't seem to sneer about the concept of Miramar Rangers v Wellington Olympic in the same way.
I'm still not sold on the new comp because of the quality dilution; and because, since everyone seems convinced that any model will be doomed to failure, I prefer continuity since 2004. But I try to change my opinions when I find new facts.
