But Christchurch United is one existing club - a club that some in the Canterbury football community openly don't like - when the idea is trying to get some buy in for this new OFC Pro league team, from all of the South Island.
As per Nelfoos above Mainland FC is less of a mouthful. Or why not try to get permission to get the Canterbury Dragons moniker reborn? That seemed a successful branding back in the Handy Prem days, even if the squad itself often seemed Cashmere Tech by another name??
I mean this OFC team ain't going to play one home game in Christchurch this season, let alone Dunners or Nelson. Who knows how many seasons the hub arrangement will be continued with. Not sure if it needs a South Island title at this early stage.
