I wish to clarify the following points:
The alcohol ban that Manukau City Council has imposed will have more of an impact on softball than football but any support for the ban was not aimed at any one code. Both softball and football codes use the club and require our support and help. Both codes were guilty of drinking on the sidelines as there was no ban imposed there, not just softball.
The statement that the club had sought the ban is incorrect. An inquiry was made to council some time ago to clarify the existing liquor ban and we were advised the ban was being looked at and this was duly presented to and passed by the community board.
The support was only so we were able to try and control and protect our liquor licence which is very easy to lose and very hard to get back.
