Well this development (Nix & AFC out of the Australia Cup) might actually prompt a Football United Tour II version.
Some clubs from the Foley stable like Hibs, Bournemouth, even FC Lorient - you'd think possible candidates.
Seems the NZ Govt is chucking some money at hosting various sporting events now in NZ. That 4 team FIFA series in Auckland in March, being one example.
So the Nix & AFC might be able to leverage off that.
Taking one or more matches to the new roofed Te Kaha stadium in ChCh not a bad idea if we are talking July/August. I mean Australia Cup games were always in Aussie, so Nix/AFC couldn't really grumble much if they had to travel down south to watch one or more pre season matches.
Players needing a rest post the World Cup, might mean a few bigger names missing if we were talking about an EPL side like the Cherries.
But Newcastle and the Hammers also came down under in a WC (2014) year.
