From what can be seen from behind those temporary fences the two artificial turfs are going to be an amazing facility for Dun players to use to train and play on. But to be honest only plays catch up with other NZ places who have heaps of them already.
I do not think that a youth academy is a $ making venture for football south is it?, how is running a academy for kids at the expense of Dun Senior football? what's it taking away from the Senior grades?
The issue is at the moment, they are allowed on the turfs and nobody else is - the turfs were supposed to be finished a month ago so that senior trainings could be held on them. I think if I read the Varsity facebook page correctly, that they have had no proper training facilities all year - and have been waiting patiently for access to these facilities which is replacing their training facilities. The fact that it's still not available for them, but it still is for Southern United/Football South, kind of stinks.
