With the promotion / relegation now all sorted and Christchurch United now back into the MPL for the fourth occasion, with the 2020 the 11th season they have been in the league with their current MPL playing record standing at:
| P | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | |
| Christchurch United | 192 | 45 | 39 | 108 | 220 | 377 | -157 | 174 |
United will now join Ferrymead Bays, Nelson Suburbs, Nomads and Western as clubs that contested the inaugural MPL in 2002, that will be playing in 2020.
Second time FC Twenty11 have been relegated and now join, Nomads and Universities as having to drop down a second time, with ChCh United have been relegated three times.
Other clubs to face the drop (all once) are Avon United, Burnside, Cashmere Wanderers, Christchurch United, Halswell, New Brighton, Rangers, Richmond City, Western and Woolston WMC.
FC Twenty11 MPL stats from their six season's in the are:
| FC Twenty11 | 112 | 24 | 15 | 73 | 133 | 300 | -167 | 87 |
Tech were relegated in 2002 too. If I remember rightly they got promoted back up at the first attempt under (I think) Jason Fahey.
Yes ChCh Technical (10th) were one of the three clubs that faced relegation was the MPL was reduced from 12 to 10 teams, along with Canterbury University (11th) and Woolston Working Mens Club (12th), who both were automatically relegated.
ChCh Technical then played Cashmere Wanderers home and away to see which side would play in the MPL for 2003. ChCh Technical won their home league 3 - 1 with Cashmere Wanderers winning at home 3 - 0 to win 4 - 3 and aggregate.
The two sides then met again in the promotion series at the end of the 2003 season with ChCh Technical again winning their home leg 3 - 1 with Cashmere Wanderers winning at home 2 - 1 so Technical won promotion 4 - 3.
Many would not regard ChCh Technical as the same club as Cashmere Technical as ChCh Technical first merged with Woolston WMC to become Woolston Technical in 2007 who then in turn merged with Cashmere Wanderers to become the present Cashmere Technical in 2012.
Same vain as FC Twenty11 not the same as Shamrock / Riccarton merging to become Avon United who then joined forces with Burnside (formerly Burndale) to evolve as FC Twenty11.
Woolston and Tech did it really tough after Christchurch City disbanded and it went to Canterbury United. Both had a lot of debt and a lot of players went elsewhere for the 2002 season - Ferrymead and New Brighton were the big beneficiaries if I remember rightly hence both Woolston and Tech getting relegated. Tech were on the end of some cricket scores that season but I remember going to watch Tech play Woolston at Ensors Rd and they won about 8 or 9 nil.
Woolston ended up not entering a team in the Canterbury league in 2004, but entered a team in the Chatham Cup which was mainly a mix of Presidents players and got knocked out by CHCH Boys at English Park. Wasn’t until 2005 until they had a first team again.
