Team Wellington... no longer an association with Ole. Chur

Gossip please

Totori....

I hear they're playing 3 home games at kiwitea street. 

Not gossip but they could do a lot worse than Upper Hutt Centre Back Andrew Setefano

Closed shop isn't it?  If your not Phoenix Youth or Miramar you not in!!!!!!!

Team miramar in disguise. 

i just hope they're competetive and not a youth experiment

I think last years Nix youth experiment was a fail - as early form showed.

The ASBP needs a competitive Team Wellington so please don't let it just be Miramar (all due respect) and Phoenix Youth. TW, Canterbury and HBU are the only teams who can realistically give ACFC and WU a decent domestic challenge.

If the ASBP NEEDS challengers outside of the main 2 (which I agree with) then maybe chuck some more of that money everyone else's way. It'd be for the good of the competition after all right? 

Socialism rampant. Not a normal footballing scenario.

Gossip in Chch is that Canty United striker Ash Wellborn is on the move to the Windy City. 

Can anyone shed some light on if there will be any room for players other than Nix youth and Miramar in TW. Will they even have trials?

If it is closed shop as being bantered, then we have quite a few players who miss out. 

Maybe the extra team shouldn't be in Auckland. Lets face it, with out a Manawatu team (not they were much) we have a big area of the country to draw from. A lot of talent could just walk away, unless they are prepared to move, which only puts more pressure on the other areas, Makes for a strong competition I guess. But not much for development.

All for a team based in lower hutt.

Hutt Throb

True scouting has taken place based on players not club. And is on going.  I saw a lot of players at early TW preseason last year who did not feature. 

Definitions of trials change as the appeasement  of parents drops away from the game.

What if the Miramar players are the best players?  I don't see how it is a closed shop. Most of the TW players went to Miramar after the season so it didn't have any effect on their selection

I have no ties to Miramar so I'm certainly not in their camp. In saying that they took on TW when no one else would so good on them. Back when it was meant to be a Wellington-wide franchise most other clubs simply didn't come to the party.

If there was another team it would allow TW to accomodate the Phoenix FSE players and the other team could snap up the rest of the quality players in the region. No doubt politics would be an issue with a new side too though.

Hutt Throb is an old gag about a 2nd A-League club in Wellington and a throwaway line.  It shouldn't be taken as a serious bidder for an ASB Premiership spot.

Rimatuktuks.

Prouse Park Raiders ? Maidstone Marauders ? 

Stop I Want Out

I'm sure if you have a player that makes the grade he will be considered - IMO

There's always next year. Ha

No takers for jobs yet. Many hands make light work. Just ask Gilly, power bill must have been out of control last season.  

Any way no gossip this week from me.

 Must have been fingered but others must know more!

Back to the front page. Matt called me a gossip today but would not give me any other than it was bloody cold and wet. So need your help here.

Did Biss not play TW last year and choose which Winter Club. And a keeper I saw today went to another winter club. Oh we'll true that was last year.  To much brown whine now, I will watch with interest.

Shit I meant Steineken .
