The cheaper way is fly Chch to Wellington and hire two mini vans travel up Friday come back Monday. You need to hire transport in Napier anyway and more options for cheaper rates out of Wellington region.
Mainland Football should sort out the PDL league and go back to a MPL Reserve League with the teams in Div 1 having a their own reserve section or play those teams in what they should be in in Div 2.
Better for the people wanting to watch afew games on a Saturday at the one park without driving all over town to follow a clubs top teams.
Can't Mainland Football see it would be easier alround?
This won't happen because Alan Walker and others at Mainland want to have a team of 19/20 year olds playing Reserve [NO it's PDL] football and they want to give every club that wants to enter the PDL league no matter how bad they maybe a chance to get thrashed by the likes of Tech or Western. go figure.

Tell your favourite committee member you want to stay Green. Don't support the Burnside takeover.
I like the idea of a PDL side, gives the younguns a chance to show their stuff, and I also like the idea of a reserve side too, obviously the two don't quite fit perfectly.
as for Mainland... every season brings wheeling and dealing around comp structures. I'm over it for sure. you can't please all the people all the time
it's the Academy set up for juniors that annoys the hell out of me
They and the contractors have stuffed up the tender process for the new English Park [ASB Stadium] pitch. The overseas contractor pulled out when they found out that GST was to be paid in NZ.
We may yet be playing on a dirt track next year.

The rule was 3 guest players in total, whether they came from school teams or other clubs was irrelevant. If they came from another club that also attended the tournament then they needed to be released (read not selected) by their club in writing. We know this was an issue for one Nelson player registered with Richmond but playing for Suburbs and was clarified during the tournament with Richmond. This will be strictly enforced for next season, players selected to play for a club they are registered with cannot turn that club down then turn out for another club unless their original club decides not to select them and releases them in writing to play for the other club!

PDL/Reserve league seems to get younger and younger, that mainland academy team was U/16?
Mainland might as well put the 6 secondary schools 1st XIs that play saturdays into PDL and scrap 18 div 1 in its current format. most of the clubs skip 18s so in order to develop all young players equally its surely a wise and fair move for all...

Gings yes you are correct.
That team was made up of a lot of the Nomads United U15 age players from 2009 that won the U17 grade div one in 2009. As you may know both teams coached by Danny Halligan.
what a team, what a club.
IIRC won every game and conceded 0 goals.

About synchronizing the Reserve with the Premier League, I think there are plans on the table for a southern league, including Dunedin teams, to be played at the back end of the season. So that would bugger the draw for the reserves up anyway.
Having the MPL and Reserve leagues playing the same would not impact on any south Island Comp. The same number of teams and games would be played in both cases before a SI playoff.
Dan Harris and DT will be leading a group of 7 to oversee the MPL and PDL teams restructure.
This is after a sub par performance last year by both teams.
They need to get more of the Youth players back that they had playing at the club under Danny Halligan.
Also heard that Kourech Monsef has been appointed as Coastal 1st team coach. Is last year's coach Mick Curry still around?
And yes Kourech is the new Coastal coach. Story here:

Coastal Spirit Football Club is excited to announce the appointment of Korouch Monsef as the club�s First Team Coach for the upcoming 2011 season.
Monsef, who has been involved with Canterbury United senior men�s and youth teams over the past 5 seasons, will replace Mick Curry at the helm and lead the newly formed club in its inaugural season in the Matson�s Premier League.
Coastal Spirit gained promotion for next season after defeating Nelson club Richmond Athletic 5-4 on aggregate in the 2 leg promotion play-off series.
Monsef looks forward to heading a coaching staff that will include the clubs Football Development Manager, Gareth Turnbull, as Assistant Coach/Conditioner and club stalwart Paul Hughes.
Monsef claims �the focus for the upcoming year will be on establishing a strong senior team culture and strengthened playing squad, which is capable of competing comfortably within the men�s premier league environment. We also have a number of talented youth players at the club which we will be looking to gradually introduce as the season gains momentum.�
�A much bigger challenge for the club in the coming years will be to harness the support of the Linfield Sport group to continue to develop even better programs and services for both players and coaches to reach their goals. Both Linfield and CSFC have been very supportive in investing in our coaches network and scholarship program over the past 18 months. We are hoping that through our coaching network we will be able to retain and up-skill our best club coaches to create a natural succession plan for both men and women within the club�
�It's an exciting yet important year for the club, as we must ensure that we continue to build on the framework and development projects that have been installed over the past three years, as well as ensuring we solidify our place in the MPL for futures seasons� added FDM Gareth Turnbull.
The club is also in a unique and fortunate position within our demographic to align ourselves with the new NZF Whole of Football Plan immediately, to ensure continuity and intent to willingly grow the game in line with the structures set down by New Zealand Football.
The club will begin pre season training in early January, building into the pre season tournament it hosts annually in February/March, which will be held at Linfield Park for the first time.
For more information the clubs invites you to contact Gareth directly on [email protected] or 389 3007.
