I have to say that I find it quite bizarre that out of all the things covered in that interview, people are choosing to focus on this.
I agree, I got very turned on by the talk of a second kiwi team in the near future in Akl.
Any talk of funders/coaches?
It was just a throwaway comment really from Morrison, in an interview with a Canberra? newspaper. Perhaps just a reminder to an Australian audience after all the recent expansion bids etc, that the largest popn base/commercial market in Australasia without an A League team is across the ditch. Get the locals at least thinking, that rather than removing a team from NZ, they should be adding one. Clever comment from Morrison.
Certainly though good to hear that Welnix would be supportive of a 2nd team in NZ, but seriously doubt they will be looking to bankroll it.
