Chids, thanks for all you've done for Otago U over the past 5 years. Yeah sure its been tedious watching them at times but on thier day this Otago team is as good as any other team in this league as proven by the result vs Auckland. Agree completly re clubs vs franchises, the clubs in Dunedin are very much amateur and cannot sustain the nat league. If we come together we can compete (ie Rd 1 vs Auckland, Rd 3 vs Welly). I've got my season pass and am positvely enthused about 2moros game and will be yelling as loud as anyone.
I have no doubt in mind that without your input and motivation to seeing an Otago team in the NZFC Otago would have had thier licence removed and most young Otago players would only have FPL to aim for locally. As well as that the sooner we get an 6/8 team full travelling league for the SI, the better.
So in summary thanks Chids, what ever anyone says takes away nothing from the outstanding contribution you have made to Otago footy.
