Hey dont forget you guys actually pulled out a couple of years ago.OU have taken the responsible route to surviving and hopefully growing the franchise.The same offcasts were still good enough to beat you guys lasy year. Dont forget you were 2nd bottom/bottom for a couple of years. One good season dosent make a succesful franchise. It is important too have two franchises in the Sth Island and to be fair. CU have benefited in the Winter with the return of the OU players.
Was even last season Canterbury United won 3 - 1 at home with two late goals seeing Otago win 2 - 1 at Tahuna Park.
