I think they have a much better chance of getting MPL before Waimak, if as stated on here the structures are in place as we have been told on here.
Better and quicker drive to get to training for anyone living on the west side of town say Riccarton out than playing at Bays, Coastal or CT.
Only Halswell would get a look in in that area. Population about same as Rangiora area could be more than in a year or two, would have a lot more younger families in Rolleston, only since EQs has it become the retirement venue that Rangiora and area has been for years.
Plus I'd rather see and go out to Selwyn to watch an MPL game than Waimak. Only playing Bays away would be worse in the middle of winter at least Waimak have a club rooms of sorts to go to afterwards.
