Just read the article on our struggling domestic league, the ASB Premiership.
Not on TV, hardly any crowds and so on.
What if the ASB Premiership was shut down and instead 2 more A-League teams would be formed?
Auckland City would go pro and so the Dragons in Christchurch?
Of course the FFA would have to support/accommodate this idea., and turn the A-League into something like the Super 15 Rugby competition with teams from both Australia and NZ, and both FFA and NZFootball working together.
Because let's face it the ASBP is just about dead, so why not pump money into Auckland city and a ChCh team?
That way we expand the A-League, NZ gets 3 pro football clubs and finally for once in this damn country
we'd get some sort of football culture going.
For this discussion to have any prospects, the issue of OFC vs AFC having closer relationship must first be resolved. Neither FFA nor NZF would want to get into a shitfight with AFC as they did over Phoenix being allowed to play in a competition from another federation. If NZ joins AFC, then we can play in A-League legally, with all ramifications. Until then, I won't waste my breath.
