Right... Considering there are 2 teams in Auckland, you want 2 for the Waikato when your current one has historically always sat at the foot of the table? Where do Tauranga sit in Northern League again?
Its the same pie in the sky that Wairarapa are floating. They'll only bastardise players from Manawatu/Wellington/Hawkes Bay. Why thin the talent pool?
There is merit for playing games away from Hamilton however...
Agree, the support at Hamilton has been crap, all due respect to the hardy few who do turn up for Waikato. I think Nelson and South Auckland would be better options for new teams in the ASBP in place of Waikato and Manawatu.
ASBP clubs have to deliver facilities, teams and crowds like ACFC, Hawkes Bay and Canterbury or they should be out. Regions like Waikato and Manawatu should stick to clubs in the winter leagues to which they're more suited.
