ASB Premiership: Changes Needed Next Season
Cost of a half hour highlights show which would cover every game of every round etc = approx $130,000

hmmmm....
Look at streaming games LIVE online first.
If OFC can do it out of Taupo, surely games in ASBPrem can be.
Is he forgetting some of the players that have come out of Nelson because of no opportunities?
The whole reason they went behind NBF's back with the bid was because they are employed my Mainland Football who are obviously against the bid.

and fyi, the 130K for a highlights show is for the entire season, not just for one round... to film all four games in a round, edit them into a half hour show etc, costs 7-8K per show, depending on who you use to do it...
hope that helps

Does it annoy people that the NBL basketball final was live on SKY Sport tonight?
No. It annoys me that the ASBP final wasn't.
Hand on heart who would watch 2 hours of live ASBP football every week? There is so much better football on TV it really suffers in comparison as a product. I think highlights should be the limit of ambition at this stage. Average football is still average football I'm afraid
How on earth could one match tv-production be so expensive?
Here in Croatia we have 4 games each weekend on TV, and our standard is miles under New Zealand's.
I guess the main issue is whether there is enough money in the game and interest from the general public and potential sponsors to make it justifiable/worthwhile.
There was TV coverage of the ASB Premiership Final- it was arranged at the last minute.
I was out of town that weekend but saw the half hour highlights package of the final when I got back- I think on the Monday afterwards- on Sky Sport Highlights channel.

They have to start broadcast games first to see if it would be viable, like one game each matchday would be great - it seems like someone doesn't want to help to boost local football.
Also, more game in calendar is absolutely needed, if Fijians can play that much games, Tahitians, Caledonians, New Zealand can and must too. I was shocked few years ago when I saw there is just 14 games - I was convinced by default that there was 28 games..
I think you'd need more money from/for the competition before you can justify doubling travel costs though. I doubt having 14 more games would automatically do that. Youve got to put the horse before the cart else it'll all fall over.
Yeah, but football, local one - by local I mean on domestic, New Zealand football, should be there for much longer period that it is now. Game every two weeks (3-4 weeks between home games) is just too little to get league better.
It seems to me there is not so much interest from local companies nor local authorities in football, as I thought it would be after WC 2010 success.
I hear that it looks like the eight ASB Prem teams from the season just completed want to be back in action late this year so will there be an increase in numbers, if so likely to be a ten team league.
NZ Football board meeting today so expect announcement anytime soon.
Hey,
Does anybody know when the new fixture for the season 12/13 is publish?
And a other question: Where i can see the highlights from the ASB Premiership final 11/12 for free?
Still awaiting the make up of the league i.e. the current 8 team format, or increasing the number of teams or rounds
Jones will be a figurehead only. Someone with a name
Central region with 4 teams.... That wont fly.
the league needs a kick and it needs money, so two boxes ticked by keinzley and co
Wairarapa cant even field a Central League team with players from their provience. If you are going to have a team of imports base it somewhere thats easier to get to for travelling teams and where you are likely to get a decent crowd.
which would be where? crowds rarely exceed 500, even in auckland
This is great but can we avoid BS rubbish like heartland etc? They are a football club, that's all, not some representation of community spirit
Also, Nightz this has nothing to do with regions these are semi-pro football teams. They are allowed, and should be encouraged to sign players from outside their region
i think it's up to them how they chose to appeal to their own market - if 'heartland' works for them and gets people to buy in then good on them
Heartland Wairarapa vs Youngheart Manawatu.... Interesting marketing that one... oh wait, marketing of our national league?
If Masterton can host a national league side then so can Nelson, New Plymouth and definitely a 3rd team in Auckland.
It's not about the size of the place, it's got to be about having a football infrastructure in place, including someone who is going to back the thing with cash.
agree, but it will become an issue of diluting the *talent*
at the moment the lack of $$$ means that some good players are not bothering
an extra couple of, well funded, teams would in theory increase the standard
too many extra teams would spread the talent too thin
