Basically I think Varsity feel shafted. The new Cale was built on top of what was their no. 1 pitch and rightly or wrongly have considered it to be their home ground ever since. They feel they should have priority over Tech who have a home ground but choose not to play on it and who have adopted the Cale as a home ground long after Varsity did. They also see other options such as Tahuna for Tech.
Personnaly I appauled Tech's decision not to play at Culling Park which, even at best, is to small to play 1st team football on. Northern should make a simlar decision as the Gardens is no where near premier league standard.
I can see why Varsity think they have been shafted as Tech obviously do get priority and its no surprise as Tech for some reason do seem to get looked after by Footballsouth.
 
Talking to Terry Parle pre game thats exactly it. Tech only moved there in recent years because it suited the style of football Fridge wanted to play. Uni don't have a problem with this, but whenh they get moved and Tech don't they get a little annyed.
 
But its not like Cavey can talk. They had the Caley sitting there for the Cup game, which would have been much better for players and spectators but they chose to play on the bog that is Tonga
