Ryan Edwards has said CU will be doing some type of South Island roadshow promotion. Who knows exactly what that entails.

Doesn't sound like ChCh will be hosting a hub for the OFC League. So yeah you are correct that Nelson kid will still need to get across the Strait to Welly to see a Nelsonian pro footballer like Jayden Smith up close. Or to Auckland to watch Callan Elliott, or Scott Morris (when fit). Amelia Abbott another Nelson product but now left Nixville

However for any Otago, Southland or Westland football mad kids Christchurch will seem alot closer. Especially if CU do pick up a few promising talents from those regions. Maybe they will expand their Academy, and like the Nix start providing some live in accommodation for non Cantab youngsters. That sort of stuff makes the pro pathway yeah seem more local.

Edit - sadly today read that Scott Morris has retired! Poor guy
