age like milk how so? Even if the Wahinix lose they remain the only professional womens football team in the country. Chelsea should be coming to Wellington not going to Auckland to play some fake ass team.
And the AFC is never going to tell FFA to get rid of the Nix, we are firmly ensconced on the board of the APL and have a very strong voice there.
I probably didn't mean age like milk, I meant all the club does is play the victim. It's embarrassing and will put more people off the club.
Even on socials they are trying to seem like the women have won something for just making the final. If Arsenal lose against PSG, they won't parade it around that they came 2nd.
As someone said it reeks of desperation from the club and I wonder if the Nix even suggested to get involved. e.g. ask should our women's team come up and face a global team given we are the only pro team in NZ.
The club keeps being embarrassed (Auckland in the comp, OFC league, this game, me and you having the same amount of A-League silverware as the club) and their responses are not good enough.
Let it play out - who knows it may end up being an unofficial 2nd A-League All Stars game.
You never know. a team with dwindling crowds, never won a trophy, no long term commitment to the manager may speak otherwise. The club is lucky there is not relegation/promotion into the A-League IMO.
