Another factor in the promo/relegation discussion will be the impact of the Nelson entry into ASB championship. What are the likely ramifications? How many suburbs players might be out of action in the early part of the season? Given the reasons for richmonds reluctance to chase an MPL spot - financial - could their focus shift to feeding the regional Nelson entry? While we're on it will Nelson take the Athletic Bilbao approach and only recruit locals or do fringe canterbury players now have another option? Luis, i know this opens a few different threads, but what's your perspective on the whole shebang?
Is the nelson entry confirmed?
