Agree Buffon that they broke the rules and were punished accordingly and I have no complaint with this.
My only despair is that the admin is now done by an allegedly professional outfit (Central Football) and they are the ones who have let the team down. All that effort on the park, and then .....!!
How good would it have been, although the fundraising task would be a bit scarey - I know what Napier went through when they qualified.
Then you know what ACFC and Waitak have to fund every year then!!
So that every other ASBP club and NZF can get a handout, Unlike Wellington Phoenix who take money off NZF and play in a comp that takes all there money if they make the playoffs and help themselves to players from ASBP clubs with no compensation to clubs that are bringing the prizemoney into NZ!
Great to see them doing there bit for the game in NZ were would we be without them.......
