It's season 1 of a new league that likely has some huge startup costs.
I'm sure OFC will want to move it to a proper H&A season as soon as possible.
Football fans in Vanuatu and Tahiti probably have even bigger gripes than those in the South Island. No hubs on their Islands either, and likely far more costly for a poor Vanuatu fan to get to say Fiji, than for a Cantab to Auckland.
Football mad New Caledonia doesn't as yet have a team at all.
People will just need to be a bit realistic and patient, for a comp that will be vulnerable to falling over in these first few seasons.
Football competitions in our part of the world ain't exactly flush with cash.
Has a OFC League broadcast deal been announced yet? If so what did they pay?
