Just read the on-line program and noted there was a bit of conjecture surrounding Tech playing at the Caledonian every single week of the season.

I can't see what the issue is. Don't you want the best teams on the best pitches in order to promote good football?
 
 
 Kennedy its obviously not an issue to you with you being a Tech man but yes it is an issue to us at other clubs.
With all the bad weather we get here in Dunedin and the caledonian the only pitch able to cope with this, then that is why Tech have the advantage by having all their home games there.
You guys always get looked after and thats why i get so much satisfaction when you finish behind Cavy year in year out.
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.
