I read through this whole thread - Fkn did my head in. Anyhow -
1) Professional football must have a place within NZF and its Competitions.
2) Any club/Franchise wanting professional football must (and i say) must look to Australia's A-League however they should not be pushed out NZ for Growth youth/league system.
3) Although the NYL is covered by the FFA and "If" a Nixs team were to play(And be based) in Australia the cost would be way to much and un-viable for Welnix. I say this due to Brisbane Roar & Perth Glory's owner's wanting to put there NYL into the state comp or removing there W-League side (Due to cost blow outs). It makes sense to have any NZ based professional football clubs reserve and youth team playing in the NZFC (ASB) for this point.
4) The whole point of this thread is why does a NZ pro football club have to be treated as an out cast in its own back yard. And what does it say for future investors/investments of/for pro football in NZ?.
