I am also one that has been following closely this thread and also the OU thread. As a former player (not NZFC level) in Dunedin. It always amazes me how much rubbish people write without trying to get the  facts first .One of my closest friends has played at the highest level in Dunedin and aslo with OU. I remember him telling me a couple of years ago about the troubles they had with the squad. He said there was a big split between the Roslyn players and the rest. This he said was due to a percieved biased from the asst coach to his Roslyn players in the squad. He also stated that the atmosphere in the squad was crap because of this.I believe the atmosphere changed immensely when this person left. I believe he still coaches at Roslyn (might be wrong as im not currently in NZ).
 Also i just checked on the Incorporated Societies site and OU have filed their Annual Reports. I am also led to believe all Clubs have been handed a copy of all Annual Accounts at their AGM.
Also from my time in Dunners. Marc Chidley was around football in Dunedin then. I havent had nothing to do with the man as far as an administrator goes only played against him when he was well past his best.However my mate said that he thought that he tried his best to make things happen for OU in very difficult circumstances(does he still play for Tech). He is the GM and therefore surely answers to a Board?. I also see from the accounts. That he and D Lamont have given a rather large amount of their own money to OU as a loan. Can anybody confirm or am i reading them wrong. 
I just get the feeling that people are wanting to hang somebody and the Board and the GM are the ones getting it first.
Anyway enough of them. What is happening with the Soocersouth league. Is it going to be expanded and cover Canterbury aswell. I think you will all agree that the current set-up as a league is a far cry from were it could be. Is there going to be a South Island league and if so great. If not why not. CU and OU finshed last and second bottom. Is this due to not enough competition during the Winter league?
Anyway its a good thread and good to see the old rivalries are alive and well in Dunners.
 
Cmon you Varsity. Like the Phoenix. We will rise from the dead.
