The new OFC pro league is to be a January-May/June comp.
So if the Auckland and Nix Reserves were in that comp, would be a roughly 5 month playing overlap with the ALM. Plus you'd imagine the OFC pro league teams will be playing friendlies through Nov-December in preparation.
But I don't really see the Weenix side being accepted into the OFC league. 2 pro teams in Welly doesn't make alot of sense. Leaving NZ's 2nd biggest city Christchurch out in the cold, plus the South Island as a whole.
2 pro teams in Auckland? See that as a much stronger possibility.
