Settle down kiddies, Midfielder has been posting the updated news in a couple of threads here already. So if you guys don't mind, stop bickering like a married couple and just merged them together so we can all follow it better. The others would be happy, then.AllWhitebelievr2008-12-24 05:42:18

He started it.

did not

Only one way to settle this.....get the gloves on boys!!!!

Wouldn't we in NZ just love to have this sort of facility for football development. We have heaps of talented youngsters...but they need the right facilities coaching to get them to the next level.

We sort of have that facility being set up in wellington (just a tad smaler of course), but as you have said it is bit dis-jointed as a national collective.

There is a way, but I can't say and do much at this stage and that there are plans which is set up as we speak, howbeit much different to what I would do but nevertheless be close to what is needed at this stage and development. I would personally plan a different path to what they are doing for that foundation, but it's frankly going to take at least 10 year+ to get the steam going unless there are really power players involved. But there are other schemes that are currently looked at in the meanwhile.

But you do know that each NZFC franchise has an academy set up on the cheap as part of their NZFC licence? So we aren't too out of the way. the fancy properties are only part of the solution, it's what we can do for the players that counts. It's only about 15-20% of the problem.
