Heck yes. We need football on free to air, even if it's just NZFC.
The kids need exposure to players they can emulate, idolise and
learn from. Even those who can't afford Sky or don't have a local
big-league team.
That being said, I don't watch TV so the only football I've heard of being on free to air is the occasional All Whites match and Phoenix vs Beckham. So I could be wrong, if so, feel free to throw things at me.

I remember when the NZFC first started up, it was said there would
be a highlights show to begin with, then eventually they would show
at least one game a week....I was wrong to get my hopes up of that
actually happening.
The NZFC definetly needs more exposure on tv...but apart from
that i think football is pretty well covered now, except TV one
news..

Problems:
No chatham cup final on TV
Only highlights of Auckland teams on WoF
Elrick is an idiot who says "certainly" too many times.
He just starts rambling and makes no sense at all.
up to 6 live games of EPL, plus Spanish, etc a weekend proves
there is a market for football in this country. Show a live
NZFC game a weekend as well.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Not having the Chatham Cup final seems incredible given the history
of the comp, its coverage of the whole country and its following
from all the players and fans that start out in the comp each
season
agree with the other points too, Though Elrich grates a little less now
but it is the Chatham Cup decision that really makes a mockery of public service broadcasting

Need at least one NZFC match per weekend. Maybe not live, but it
needs to be on.
And I reckon World of Football is good at the moment, sometimes Elrich and de Jong are clueless, but Katsanos is pretty good (without Katsanos they'd be stuffed!).

Are you serious? The guy pronounced Ibrox Ee-brox in the last show FFS. Muppet.
Elrick's useless as well, has the vocabulary of a 2-month old chipmunk. Freddy lacks a bit of personality, but at least he can make some sense.

katsanos may be a muppet when pronouncing ground names but he
brings a bit of life to the proceedings - which is much needed!!!

Dennis is alright - he has some enthusiasm which is needed.
He doesn't seem to know a huge amount about football, but doesn't
claim to, and doesn't need to as the host of the show. He
does clearly have a real affection for the sport (not sure if you
can claim he really 'loves' it) and that is infectious to watch.
Fred seems to know his stuff, but has no personality.
Having said that, he has seemed a bit better recently.
Elrick seems to be caught between two stools - not
knowledgeable or intelligent enough to be an expert, and not
amusing or charming enough to be a humerous contributor. He
really is the weak link on the show.
Maybe the show needs to be mixed up a bit, with maybe someone
like Miles Davis on it (never seen him on TV, so not sure if that
is his medium) to provide a bit of humour.

I see TVNZ are now sucking up to the Hockey fans since they dipped
out on the Rugby. Shows how they feel about the biggest and most
globalist game!
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

he used to do the cricket once upon a time, did really well and added a bit of personality to it.
I too forgot the Chat Cup coverage (or lack of)...not a good thing
