There's no such thing as the New Zealand Football Championship. And if you mean the ASB Prem, I highly doubt that that information will become available from any source. There's only one league in the world which discloses exactly how much each player is paid.

Difference is that the Phoenix don't hide that they pay players or do it through dodgy channels :o)

"we want ASBP players to be paid more and the quality lifted"

Phoenix reserves come along, with professional players.

 The very fact that you have asked that question renders any explanation and further discussion pointless! You clearly refuse to see that just possibly for all the positives of having ACFC players getting paid in a dodgy manner there maybe be the odd negative

To answer the question I understand that TW payments were in the order of 500/week last season.

Cant think for yourself eh....

And again where did I comment on you allegation? I neither confirmed or denied it I have no knowledge and even less interest in it.

Seems like Smithy just made you look like a prize twat though with his recent post about TW payments

I certainly don't feel like a prize twat because I actually just used a line you put in another thread but if you think the shoe fits, you can wear it too.

I'm guessing that is just over the course of the season? So about $7000-8000 per season?

Although the ASBP often takes a lot more than 14 weeks to play 14 games. So maybe its more?

So no comment on Smithys post about TW payments?

That would be per match I would think rather than per week.

My understanding is weekly, regardless of whether there was a game or not. But only over the course of the season. 

So, if season was 25 weeks including preseason you're talking $12.5k.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Add what you'd then get paid at a winter club and players do quite nicely out of the amateur game.

Why would anyone think they don't get paid! All ASBP players get paid. Most get in the region of $300-$500 per game. Youth players get less. Its normally specified in their contract and paid direct into their bank accounts.

It may be classed as expenses etc but it is all above board

Ok so we know Wellimgton players earn 12.5 k a year and this appears to be at the upper limit of the league based upon another post of 350 to 500 a week. That begs the question many on here in the know are avoiding, how much do Auckland city players earn?


Auckland will rise once more

How much do you get paid?

Whats the obsession with this?

I know if gives Termie an excuse to whip out his spreadsheets but who else gives a shit

Im guessing Glenfields Rovers and Wairarapa Utd are paying way more than most ASB Prem teams but no one other than Birkenhead Utd players seem to care

It's not an obsession I am actually interested. Why is it a state secret? My next question once the Auckland city one has been answered is how much to players earn playing in the winter league. You have hinted at it above so I am interested to know the answer to that one. If you don't want to answer the Auckland city question someone else will I am sure.

I dont know the answer thats why I didnt answer it.

Heard some Glenfield Rovers players on $500 a game but thats just a figure being banded about up here.
