Hello, my first posting here - please be gentle -
I was sort of lured here by my mate Hard, who was cribbing
my postings from elsewhere. And
sorry, i couldn't think of a funny name to call myself.
I'm a Waikato fan, but have heard a smattering of news
out of Canterbury over the past coupla months.
Danny Halligan is coach, Keeper
Adam Highfield is due back from his Finnish club, while
Stuart Kelly and Blair Scoullar will also be back for another
season, along with Chris Morris and Andy Pitman, but
Michael White is chasing a pro contract o/seas (v difficult
with the Uk transfer window not opening till
January).
It's also been reported that Canterbury lost
$10,694 in the past financial year, despite a $140,000
growth in revenue (including $56,946 thanks to Auckland
City). Most alarming figure in their financial report
was probably that gate receipts had dipped from $32,000 to $22,000
- divide that by 11 and what do you get?
Canty are still getting club levies of about $35,000
for another two years.
Canty were also looking at playing at QEII Park
after Mainland quoted around $2000 for home matches in the New
Zealand Football Championship, but they've now settled their blue.
Hope that helps.
