The ASBP has been a step upwards from the club based winter national league, certainly for the top four sides. Most of the old club-based outfits went bust trying to compete in a national league - look at North Shore, Gisborne, CHCH United, Mt Wellington etc today. I think going back to a winter national league, would be a very backward step. It would also plonk it in direct competition with all the other winter club competitions. You think that's going to attract more people to rain-lashed games in uncovered facilities when the calendar is chock full of other winter games?

The ASBP simply needs NZF to pull its finger out and seriously invest in its summer national league. Proper promotion, TV coverage for the best games and decent sponsorship funding would do wonders to boost interest at the gate.


Invest what money in what? More detailed proposal needed, if it was as simple as you say it would have happened by now

Invest NZF funds in promoting the competition in the media, buying TV highlights package, etc would be a start. Complete indifference is not helping.

What funds? The game is running at a loss which NZF disguise in their accounts as a profit by bringing money back from the International teams fund. Thus, there is no money for international teams, and if we are running at a loss, where does this extra money come from to invest in the ASBP?

Before you say get more sponsors, if it was as easy as that, it would have happened a long time ago.

 

I actually don't think you are in touch with the issues as you think you are. Yes what you have suggested needs to be fixed is 100% correct. The solution is not as simple as 'just invest more money'. The reality is, there is no money. Even more to the point, if there was all this money lying about, why do you guys need the 1m from Trillion. Because there is no money.....
