Hi Jerzy,

No, I can only guess as to where to from here... I am not part of the inner sanctum.

But my hunch is they will opt for a "national" continuance as opposed to a "conference system".

And they will allow a mix of clubs/franchises - basically allowing the various centres to establish models which best suit them.

The big question is going to be summer v winter.

Meanwhile Wanderers to continue in the 2015-16 season as an U23 team ahead of Olympics.

From a Waikato perspective there is the prospect of a few games back at Waikato Stadium for the first time since 2005-06 in the forthcoming summer. And before everyone says "ghost town", I understand Waibop had the second highest aggregate attendances for last summer. 

Which should provoke a bit of thought, coming from what was easily the lowest-budget franchise operation.

we went down to Cambridge last season to watch Auckland play Waibop and loved it. It was an evening game with a very good croud and a great atmosphere. Having said that I think its stupid that Cambridge FC don't allow you into the clubrooms after the game unless you have a VIP pass!!!!
