All I'm saying is our national league should be NZF's primary domestic priority and I don't feel it is. I see no evidence.

I have a simple solution. Gareth Morgan is offering $5 million to the NZF to restructure things (as he sees it). Why not simply invest $1 million a season for the next five seasons in the ASBP Gareth? That would be a huge boost across the board to all the franchises (it could be evenly split or as prizemoney so on field performance is the decider). With the prospect of a robust South Auckland franchise coming on board soon (in place of Wanderers) and this major investment, the ASBP would boom. 



get on his blog and tell him

I will, and I'll let you know if he responds.

His site doesn't appear to have an email address for sending Gareth messages. Does anyone know it?

"Hey can you give me a few million so my amateur club can buy more foreigners so that we can beat southland in a game in front of 20 people then get a hiding at the club World Cup?"

Good luck with that. 


Looks like he's happy finishing in bottom 2 and losing money every week in a league that wouldnt give him the prize even if he did win it.


Sounds eerily similar to our national league.


If we emphasise the word 'our' in your post then you've pretty much hit the nail on the head... It's our league, which we can sort out or fuck up if we please. It's not Australia's league in which we are subject to their rules and whims, where we pour money into the FFA. You're all concerned with your crowds at Yellow Fever. Be more concerned with the crowds at New Zealand's national league, I'd suggest. 


Hey Alireggae, I'm not sure you get it. NZ's league isn't working too well. I'm proposing that we align with what FFA are doing - they've recognised that the purpose of a national (semi pro) club league is as a DEVELOPMENT league. Football 3 hours away is growing - on all measures. We need to find a way to ride that wave.
