Parklands was 8-0; Cash Tech Gold beat Western (not sure which of the 2 Western teams) 7-0
I'd be presuming this was Selwyns and Unis reserves or youth teams?? Same with Western, otherwise at this early stage Parklands would be the new favourites ?
Selwyn was certainly a young team and not their main team

Waimak beat Uni 2-0 rather easily.
Hope those on the bbq got their $10 reduction in their kids subs for the coming season
I don't know about you but I kinda thought that $75 for a sausage was quite expensive though. And I'm a vegetarian.

Now now mate i'm really hoping that's not too much of a dig there. Would have thought "a bit of match fitness" would be perfect for you fellas. Seems you have quite a difficult league to prepare for this season with all the $ being converted in CCL.
Also could quite easily say clubs wont get too much out of playing Parklands (minus a few kicks here and there) during the season if you want to have a moan about pre-season games..
I actually am really enjoying seeing and hearing what you guys as a club are striving for but i hope you realize that we aren't going to be sending first or reserve teams to a tournament when we can arrange decent fixtures on decent pitches ourselves.

Wasn't meant as a dig Dan, and we didn't expect to see the first team, definitely much bigger fish to fry nowadays :) We were probably hoping for a bit more of a physical challenge (which despite the scoreline last year we did against the team that was put out), but as you say a bit of fitness is always a start.
MPL teams have always sent reserve teams out to the tournament and it's probably now getting towards the stage that the remaining CCL teams are starting to think along similar lines, which ultimately is a shame. Maybe someone needs to look at re-introducing something like the old Rangers Tournament?
This year is definitely going to be a challenge in the CCL for the boys and hopefully will be a good competitive league

Bays has a budget for every position. Fact. Tuckey Tech bound. Geoff has not signed for chch. Mostly cause chch united don't pay players that don't coach aswell.
Enough about who pays what. Where are the transfer rumours ? Who from Tech is following Brownie? Boysy? Stanley? Coastal got any exciting imports coming to flop? Who's in goal for Bays?
Halswell have seemed to get some good business done early.
Geoff played against Selwyn a few weeks ago for utd, then for Bays against us on Sat just gone. Will let you know if he turns out for Nomads when we play them is weekend

I just believe that no player should be getting paid a per game amount, no player in town is good enough to demand that. I include any canty united player in that. I dont have an issue like you with incentives. If clubs are paying players outside of this then mainland really needs to be involved in my opinion
We have been down this track, in fact right when this forum started, and I was given a bollocking for saying the same thing.
Apparently there is something agreed with Mainland that clubs are able to reimburse "expenses" which essentially could be boots and petrol which in turn could then turn into a "per game" amount as they have to drive to each game/training.
My perspective is that by paying players it changes the game in Christchurch, where players show no loyalty to their club, they are choosing their team not by the quality of coaching or facilities, but by the amount of money clubs are willing to pay them.
Now it's happening in the MPL and CCL, I guess the women are next?

Completely agree Vim. There is a massive difference between being reimbursed for expenses such as petrol compared with the $$ amounts going around. That to me is taking the piss and as i said, no player in canterbury is worth it, fact

Yes and the chat around the golf course had Bays paying their GK at least $200 a game, a lot of travel time for that amount.
How much do Canterbury United pay Adam to be the GK coach.

I'm not sure every club is doing it, but it's probably more that are than aren't. We never paid players at my time at the club, and I've been told that this hasn't changed. Great to see Ash coming back to the club that launched him to greatness, I would see that as the incentive to return to this club when he finishes his OE.

That's because they won't let me out on the park to bulldoze my way through people. Apparently.. we play football now - not kick people get the ball. - Shame I'm kinda out of a job now.

Apparently there is something agreed with Mainland that clubs are able to reimburse "expenses" which essentially could be boots and petrol which in turn could then turn into a "per game" amount as they have to drive to each game/training.
My perspective is that by paying players it changes the game in Christchurch, where players show no loyalty to their club, they are choosing their team not by the quality of coaching or facilities, but by the amount of money clubs are willing to pay them.
Now it's happening in the MPL and CCL, I guess the women are next?

Completely agree Vim. There is a massive difference between being reimbursed for expenses such as petrol compared with the $$ amounts going around. That to me is taking the piss and as i said, no player in canterbury is worth it, fact
Who are the clubs you talk of steptoe, or is it one in particular
We have been down this track, in fact right when this forum started, and I was given a bollocking for saying the same thing.

Who are the ccl clubs you talk of though, fc twenty obviously the mpl club you have mentioned. Personally I don't believe for a second that ccl clubs are offering 150-200 a game plus the other you have mentioned, especially for young players. If i'm wrong your right in its absolute madness
It's very obviously Waimak. We've gotta do something with all that money from our sub hike. A lot of new boots on display in the first 2 pre season games. And now there's no admin staff to pay we'll be in the market for a few more MPL pla
