Still a long way to go in the campaign and costs to compete

?? they won the OCL so I'd say that campaign is over and that's what the rumour mill was talking about

Given TW went cap in hand to NZF and the other franchises to get enough money to just compete in the OCL its no surprise they didn't pay any bonus. If they weren't going to pay bonuses after the CWC that would be more of a concern

Why would amateur players be expecting a bonus payment?

yawn, you really need to get away from the idea that Amateur = the corinthian spirit it was originally meant, It hasn't been like that in football since 1900!

Actually people expect that amateurs are just that. Its those that allow the scam to continue that spout your line.

Team Wellington predictably are starting to bolster their squad for the Club World Cup in December:

Meanwhile Henry Cameron is in Wellington... 

? but hearing its Team Wellington not Wellington Phoenix for the All Whites midfielder.

Very excited about the upcoming TW season! Chose not to buy a shirt last year and thoroughly regretted the decision. Will definitely buy one this season!

Sounds like Tratt is available, unless he heads back to NPL.

No one we didn't already know about. Thought TW was really good in the first half, and could/should have been up by more than 2. They rang the changes in the second, and also lost a bit of fitness, so Nix B managed to turn it around. Even so, TW still had chances in the second, and Ilich hit the post from a free kick. Definitely good signs if you're a TW fan.

Olympic, Hawkes Bay United midfielder.  Works hard. Actually the Brown comparison not entirely unfair.

Far better on the ball IMO

What's happened with TW coms this year. Was awesome last year player announcements, stats etc. Was a great build up to the beginning of the season. Seems a bit flat this year! or is it the quiet before the storm!!!

They've only signed two new players this season, Henry Cameron and Alex Palezvic

Fair enough, but last year they let you know the about the whole team, not just the newbies. Some were re signings for a couple of years I think.

I think the Comms and Marketing of a lot of the teams in the league leaves a lot to be desired. Websites not updated for over a year, no real social media strategy, lack of community engagement. 'Sponsorship's' are really just donations as there doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of leverage. So much potential but little action. Apart from maybe Canterbury and Auckland who are exceptional at it. I think it really does go a long way in engaging their fans.

My favourite piece of marketing is the recent "congratulations for guessing the player's favourite food is pizza" facebook post. 

Gold.

Rumours of a new midfielder has signed or in the process of being signed. An experienced player from another city, good enough to play in any side in the League.
