Yep, bang on about sponsorship.
Us regional folk need all the funding we can get to get these teams on the park! The good thing for Taranaki based sides will be that they can go through both the NZCT & the Toi Foundation for grants which should see them through in terms of costs for travel as well as small to significant infrastructure upgrades - See FC Western who have upgraded their lighting!
FC Western with a team of significant sponsors already, and Bertie (Peggy Gordons former owner) is still pumping a decent chunk of change into Rangers as far as I'm aware.
