Quickly changing the subject: the Mainland clearances page here, is chocker full of the FC Nelson and Nelson transfers. So obviously they just transferred for the Nike Cup and then have gone back to their own club. I know it doesn't really matter, but it seems a little dodgy to me. Can you just transfer to another club for a tournament, then back to your own for the season? What if it happened in CHCH between clubs?
I don't quite get it because there is no club called "Nelson" which these players seem to be transferring from.
The only remaining junior clubs in the city are Nelson Suburbs, FC Nelson, Richmond Athletic
