That's mud - it almost gets to a point where if you are not a Central League cup, it's just throwing 350 dollars at one game
Destroys the whole idea of anyone entering and winning

love to hear the justification here. Unbelievable there isn't one that has been publicly released. That is a massive percentage increase. And it had already gone up the year before. What has changed??
What is the point in the small clubs entering the Cup? Massive waste of money for one game. Likewise for the inferior womens teams.
Give yourself an uppercut NZF

Just been notified that the figure was reported in error by CF communications. Cost remains the same for 2010. The increase will apply in 2011 however , so I have a year before I complain about NZF bringing an end to the �fairytale cup run�.

Lets piss and moan anyway. What justification do they have - it's not that hard a question for NZF to answer

Of more interest id have thought the desire for control of every aspect of the game ..all teams must be registered / affiliated they may be a sham but they know what they want....

This.
$350 is nothing.
It is less than two players' subs, and less than some clubs pay individual players PER WEEK to play for them.
Get a grip.
If your club can't afford $350, maybe cut back on win bonuses this season?

What Smithy said is why I asked.
$350 per team doesn't actually seem like much to me.

well first of all the fact that the material value of the increase is so insignificant to the costs of having a team in the cup is kind of my point. percentage differentials don't actually matter in the real world.
and secondly some ppl seemed to claim that this fee increase was going to stop some smaller teams from entering the cup, which is blatantly ridiculous given it's only a couple of hundred bucks. the costs of travel, esp if you make it to the later rounds, are far more prohibitive.

is the cost of a hat to pull names out of going up 75% next year?
and i guarantee it will have an impact. There was only about half a dozen team in the Women's KO Cup from Wgtn and Central last season. This number will prob reduce that even further. Not a great way to grow the womens game.
