Oh well that's the end of that idea. Wellington Olympic and whoever it is.
Though Mr Becker is probably all a bit less smug after last night, in Melbs's outer burbs.
Maybe it will change in future years, if the ALM ever does get to 14 teams (26 game H&A), and so it is just 2 regular season derbies per year.
Big IF at the moment with WU likely disappearing.
And yeah once ChCh United are fully established 12 months from now as a pro club, there might be room for a little pre season tourney or something with NZ's 3 pro clubs - as others on here have suggested.
In fact invite in all the 8 OFC Pro League clubs for a little pre season comp, from say late Sept if it's not too early for them. Maybe exclude Sth Melbourne and Auckland II, leaving 8 teams over 2 pools. Nix, AFC, CU and the 5 Island teams in the OFC Pro League, if again it's not early for them.
