Hey rolo, what's the point of the notice board thread if you post in here, huh?

Hey rolo, what's the point of the notice board thread if you post in here, huh?

To be fair, posting trials, coaching ads etc in the club notice thread and the competition thread has been the standard (up until it was decided by admin this ear that that particular process wasn't correct). So lets cut come people some slack hey, its not going to hurt anyone to see a post twice is it?

[Imyourhero]

Such drama

[boz-monaut]

we'll clean this up and start threads for each specific competition in the new year, same as always

what we try to stop is club notices being duplicated in all competition threads, that's just annoying

[Leftback at Home]

The way they have been going recently you'll need a second mortgage to have a run this year.

[Nou Camp]

newcastle suns rego was $350 for 2014 and should be the same for 2015 unless there is major increase from the feds

2 pairs or shorts
2 pairs of socks
tracksuit
full training strip
club polo
additional training tshit
and various other things during the year, club shouts, bbqs, dinners etc
curious to know what others in the comp charge

What ever happened to promotion and relegation being based on performance? Obviously smaller clubs ( like ours ) find it hard to field 3 teams , but would be competitive with the other 2. Whilst teams who are average at best climb up divisions because they have a heap of players to choose from. I must be old fashioned , I believe in quality not quantity.

If your club doesn't come up with the most important part of the criteria (3 teams) then how do you expect to be promoted over clubs that can field 3 teams. It doesn't matter if the 2 grades will be competitive or not if you don't have a 3rd grade side.

Thanks but I believe you missed the whole point of that statement. Rewarding teams based on their on field performance. Its obviously not going to happen anytime soon , so lower divisions will always have teams that dominate the competition year after year and aren't promoted to be tested at higher grades. Just about every other football code in the world works on this system , and I think I read the other day that even the A - League is working on moving towards a similar structure.

But teams do not get promoted anywhere in the world if they don't meet the criteria for the competition they are joining.If a team is strong in a lower division and wish to test themselves at a higher level they should undertake the necessary changes to allow them to move up the grades (Ie/ finding enough players to fill 3 grades).

[Lofty]

Yeah, I agree. Don't really understand the point you're trying to make thephenom.

If you win in a lower league and earn promotion, you need to fill the criteria to go up and I would say one of the main things would be to have enough teams. You can't just expect to promote your two successful teams and not play third grade? "Oh but we have two good teams" - Don't think that will cut it, just saying.

Earn promotion, find the numbers, fit the criteria, enjoy the season.

[front2]

Nothing new here. Clubs have been promoted or demoted based on criteria or applications for at least 10 or close to 15 years from my limited experience. This is regarding ID comps and ZLs. Maybe it is a case of clubs getting their shhit in order regarding direction.

[goaliepersempre]

well yeah we cant get promoted unless we have certain qualifications are in place... (if the club can perform better win the Cup :P )

but criteria are essential.. its nothing new... just in general when you see promotion and relegation overseas its the teams that are on top are the ones with all the required criteria

[front2]

It all takes time. Afterall Australia is ranked outside the top 100 in FIFA.

Theres no real need for a good team to miss a promotion. Keep the crieteria in mind if you are doing well. As for your player numbers, grab an allage team and put them in 3rds until recruitment grows. If you want it bad enough you'll find a solution.
