so if I'm understanding Gallops main issue with us correctly - we are "squatting" ie freeloading and costing the FFA nd giving nothing back. My response is two fold - if the nix go, what TV coverage in NZ does he expect, the pittance from Sky becomes zero! Secondly what is NZF doing to actually help in this scenario? are they offering to pay for the nix ie the players wage and taking the cost awy from the FFA, are they pushing hard to make NZ part of Asia, thereby removing the pressure on the FFA from AFC - no they are not, they are weakly "supporting the nix" by pissy little tweets and FB posts.
FFA props up clubs; philosophically I'm not comfortable with NZF financially propping up NZ clubs. However they do need to work with Welnix to see how they can best contribute. One simple concrete contribution from them would be to email the NZF database with a Nix membership offer. The database was used repeatedly for FIFA U20 World Cup tickets earlier this year. Needs to happen this week.
