Interesting in the email sent out by Canton that he states:
"NZF Appeal
Some clubs indicated dissatisfaction with the decision, mainly on the basis that:
a. an 11 team Capital 1 (and a 9 team Capital 2) would cause issues for the clubs involved; and/or
b. it was unfair to maintain North Wellington in Capital 1 given North Wellington had itself benefited from appeals during the season.
Two clubs, Waterside Karori and Naenae, appealed CF's decision to NZF, seeking to have it overturned."
whereas the Karori appeal to NZF states:
"It is Waterside Karori’s submission that The First Decision and The Second Decision are outside the regulations, manifestly unjust, and out of step with good governance practices.
For the reasons set out above, we request New Zealand Football direct Capital Football to overturn both decisions."
somewhat different..
