For comparative purposes, the last set of financial accounts, Napier City Rovers posted to Incorporated Society had "Central League Team" 160,786 in 2024 and 139,421 in 2023. My dim memory recalled seeing something somewhere that said if they went down the day before to minimise the travel before then they had to fund the overnight themselves.
Also note all teams in Northern, Central, Southern leagues this year pay an entry fee of $12,500 and that NZF cover the travel cost of the national league portion. So effectively 30 teams cover the costs of 9 in the National League phase. Next year with National League being seperate, in theory each league is funding themselves and there is no cross subsidisation taking place.
