When: October 14 – March 31
What: New Zealand Football men’s national league
Teams: Auckland City, Eastern Suburbs, Waitakere United, Hamilton Wanderers, Hawke’s Bay United, Team Wellington, Wellington Phoenix Reserves, Tasman United, Canterbury United and Southern United
Live: 24 games live on SKY Sport throughout the 2018/19 season, including a post-match review show from 2019
So, some quick maths shows that Southern United will be featured in 1 live game all season - and it's an away.
Canterbury, Hawkes Bay and Tasman only slightly better with 2 games, but both Tasman's are away so there won't be any games from the newly renovated Trafalgar Park. Shame, it's a good venue.
Team Wellington also have no live home games, again. Patrick, get the camera out.
Meanwhile, everyone's favourite financial hole Waitakere get 4 home games and so does the present home for the much travelled Eastern Suburbs, at Riverhills.
We'll see Kiwitea Street just once live all season (that is a change).
I wonder if clubs will be able to use more more than the 2 minutes NZF gets given this season, to actually promote the league.
Otherwise, 25 to 30k well spent.
