With Auckland and Wellington both hosting A League fixtures not sure it would have been that hard to host the NZ Hub in Christchurch.
Not sure than has much relevance. Only 3 of the 8 OFC League clubs are from NZ & Aussie, and there are just far more direct flights from the Island countries into the 09 verus 03
A question for OFC.
And maybe the football administrators down in ChCh, feel just too swamped with all the work that goes with setting up a new pro club from scratch, without the extra burden of organising the hosting of 7 more teams over a week.
