I am sure you can download it from Northern and put a link up here Captain, too difficult for me.
I think you have missed my point but, I never questioned Valentine or said they weren't following the rules anywhere in my post. Good on them for trying to sign the best squad they can
My point was that the points system is doing its job if clubs can sign 7 or more new first grade players every year

Huge signing for Jaffas in the Herald

Matt Thompson story from the Herald:

https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/6576339/jaffas-coach-surprised-maitland-didnt-want-ex-jets-skipper-thompson/

Lambton coach James Pascoe admits he is surprised Maitland let veteran midfielder Matt Thompson depart after confirming he has signed with Jaffas for this year's Northern NSW NPL season.

After five years at the Magpies, Thompson and the club could not come to terms for a sixth season with Pascoe stepping in to snare the 37-year-old former Newcastle Jets premiership-winner.

After being sidelined for two months with a calf tear during the middle of last season, Thompson, a former Socceroo, returned at the back end to play an instrumental role in the Magpies winning the premiership.

It was a factor not lost on Pascoe.

"He has captained two A-League clubs and scored 33 goals for Maitland in 88 games from the mid-field," he said. "I think he offers a lot still both on and off the field. I'm surprised Maitland didn't want him and I'm really glad to have him on board."

Pascoe is not concerned about Thompson's age.

"We've all seen what impact Daniel McBreen and Josh Rose have had at Edgeworth," he said. "It was the same with Jobe Wheelhouse and Joel and Ryan Griffiths for us over the last couple of seasons. Like I said, I'm really happy to have him."

From last year's squad, Jaffas have lost leading goal-scorer Braedyn Crowley to Maitland but the signing of Thompson comes following the recruitment of Mitch Oxborrow and Kale Bradbery from Broadmeadow and Scott Pettit from Hamilton.

Aegon

I hope the signing of Thompson doesn't limit the progression of someone like Finn Paris who I thought was excellent last year.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

Wasn't aware of a few of those movements, especially Olly Smith leaving Edgy.

Sutherland going to Westy is a big move as well, probably one of the best young blokes in the comp.

Not much movement at Adamstown or Lakes though, might be another long season for them.

Is it really that big, maybe for Olympic, but they did run 8th last year.
Magic beat Hakoah 3.1
Edgeworth beat Blacktown 4.3
Bonnyrigg beat Magic 3.2

Magic and Edgeworth seem to compete with the Nsw Npl sides. Yes Olympic have struggled with 8.0 and 7.2 losses to Wollongong and Sydney Olympic, but I think the top 4 nnsw would be competitive with most Sydney sides except probably Wollongong

I just seen Weston beat Kurri 14-0 and aren't they only 70 minute games? NNSW should reduce the competition next year or make the minnows qualify for the main draw. Minni forfeited a game midweek, at least Kurri had a go and they only had a two day break too. Interesting to see if New Lambton give Edgeworth a decent run?

Not many decent coaches around, maybe should dig out some of the older faces. Who were the co coaches at Magic Couple of years ago and there was a guy that brought South Cardiff up into the NPL, he also had a stint at Westy, he did really well at both clubs, what was his name ??

Issue is that nnswf has criteria in place for certain qualifications to coach. Costs for getting these licences are into the thousands, and is quite time consuming to do it.
Theses factors see good coaches just start to take a back seat or filter down to lower grades where the stringent criterias arent hammered down

It also works well in reverse where any Tom dick or Harry can get a license who maybe have never kicked a ball in anger but will proceed to tell you how the game should be played over and over again as my listing skills proceed to fade away quickly

Seems like a reasonable summary. Resi's could go anywhere depending on injuries in first grade.
18s: Olympic will be very strong, Jaffas as well. I've seen Lakes and Charlestown 18s and they look off the pace.

Why do you think Adamstown will be big improvers? They have lost a lot of there first team players from last year and haven’t really replaced them.

The word on the street is that Edgeworth will sign Matt Simon and Michael McGlinchey. If they get both they become the best team in the comp by a mile. If they get one of them they move beside Jaffas I think, especially if they get Simon. They need a front man.

That's one way to look at it as well, you pay $38,000 to Northern to be able to enter and play for a $10,000 competition.

However, many of the bigger clubs are more about being a business and making money the competition is a means to an end of making money. Better to pay a shit load on players to win the $10K if it means bringing in an extra $80K from sponsorship.

I think Stanley was referring the club sponsors chipping in 90% of the clubs revenue.
Some clubs struggle to finance their player payments and are rumoured to use early junior rego payments to fund their player wage bill from the previous season.

Now, with lots of people and businesses without solid income, will they want to pour some money into a sponsorship or keep it for themselves/their business/employees.
So without that sponsorship income, a few clubs may be in trouble.

Club outgoings should be near wot they get in rego fees. Sponsorship should b treated as a bonus not income. If clubs be paying wages and employing staff on decent $$$ they better b having a plan B.

Where am I wrong? The refund for money paid hasn't been authorised (based on your own statement) and at the time of my post they were demanding that clubs still pay their fees, so I was correct there as well. Northern has only recently (over the past week) told clubs that they have dropped their demands for further installments until the season goes ahead and only after the NPL clubs sent a letter through the AAFC telling them they won't and 8 of the 11 NL1 clubs following suit.

My sources are actually quite good (including some members of your committee), just because I don't spread every bit of confidential news on here like some people. So yeah thanks for letting me know my football IQ is spot on.

So what are realistic expectations now in term of possible ways this season may be completed?
Single round comp?
No finals?
Congested fixtures e.g. 5 games per fortnight?
Complete cancellation?

Why can't the NPL play into September October November etc to complete the season??

Which clubs won't have access to a ground??

This is what will happen MFKS, if we are able to get the comps up and running in June or July. Npl Competition will run until November or December, with decision on whether they play finals football or first past the post.
Not sure what will happen to other competitions as have only heard re Npl Seniors.
All clubs bar Valentine have full access to their ground without ground sharing. And Valentine could do all Sunday matches.
Will all depend on when or if the government gives the all clear to play, or if the corona is still to big a risk

Even easier solution is Valo could be forced to play al of their home games at home before the cricket season starts and play away in the back end of the season

Either that or they can be forced to ground share in October onwards

If they don't like it they have had plenty of time to get their own ground sorted and there been little progress

NPL is not the A League, if community football does not get played then NPL, SAP, NL1 etc wont get played either. If community football gets played then there will be no issues with grounds for any clubs.

For the Morons of the group what I said is if Community Football is played in an extended format then there will be no issues with grounds as cricket will have adjusted their start times therefore grounds won't be used by cricket therefore there will be no issues with grounds. Cricket will will move their start dates, heard it hear 1st.

Sort of right the maximum that councils will move is one month. So football would need to be completed at grounds that are also cricket grounds where turf and synthetic wickets are by 31st October our club met with Council this week and that will be the standard across all Councils. Have a mate on Central Coast and they already have that in writing for their council.

How else would community football get played if the season doesn't get extended, maybe I should have dumbed it down for you. And yes cricket will move, Harker Oval have cricket over league? please. Never said our next season would start as normal may take a few years to get back to what we know as normal.

Both Senior and Youth NPL can be played year round if required. As for next season and trials for next season they can be organised once this season finishes. 10 team comp only needs 18 rounds this can be done in 15 weeks with a few mid week rounds. Still 18 week season and 4 weeks for finals that is a 22 weeks so if the season can start in before Mid July the season will be completed before Christmas. Yes I know Youth NPL have more teams but teams out of the Hunter region may have to be losers in this shorten season.

No Cricket 9
Magic - Magic Park, Jaffas - Arthur Edden, Olympic - Darling St, Adamstown - Adamstown Oval, Weston - Weston Park, Edgeworth - Jack McLaughlin Oval , Azzurri - Lisle Carr Oval, Lake Macquarie - Macquarie Field, Maitland - Cook Square Park
Cricket 1 (Synthetic Saturday Only - Junior Cricket Saturday Morning and C&S competition is Saturday afternoon) Football can be played Sunday

Yep Npl will work. Even Npl youth should get finished. Others wont.

Maybe a little bit of ground sharing to push it over the line.

These late rounds can also be used as scouting for next year.

You can dumb it down as much as you like, at the end of the day I honestly think that if we get a season in, it will be the second half of the year and if this is the case NPL and NPL youth will have access to their grounds and will get a season in..
Unfortunately, and I hope I am wrong, I don't think there will be enough access to grounds for community football, there are just so many teams. Like I said, I hope I am wrong, especially for all of the kids busting to play

Why’s that. I’m sure everyone that plays the other division aren’t going to flock to games. Most people only worried about their own club or division. I wouldn’t pay $10 to go and watch some ordinary teams like Lakes, Valo etc

Fair call Hacker, just thought people would be wanting to watch some football. In my experience over the years, there seems to be a lot more people at the Magic Olympic Edgy Azzurri games when they don't clash with when people are playing there own games.
Magic and Olympic attract a lot of their Id players and fans and Azzurri tend to get a lot of the Dudley players and supporters up there over the last few years.
I could be wrong though

I disagree. I think if any, only NPL youth will play. I can’t see clubs wanting to pay seniors who don’t pay any rego for some kind of condensed competition while simultaneously refunding 4 grades of youth team rego to loads of unhappy parents.

Any form of youth competition will allow them to keep all that rego money and lets face it, the interest in northern NPL isn’t bringing in any substantial revenue

All competitions will be played in some form. No level in this area will get a priority. But as for crowds I can't see there being any allowed anytime soon. Will be just players playing and going home at all levels BARTV will be everyone's best friend. But there would be some very nervous clubs that have used up all this seasons rego money on last years expenses and also those heavily reliant on sponsors dollars which more than likely wont come in for at least this season. Hopefully a good thing to come out of this will be the amount of money spent on players and coaches will have to be significantly reduced, lets hope it has long term effect and the NPL youth parents can get a nice reduction in future years fees.

There is a distinct possibility that a couple of the clubs that have been living on the edge each season may go under.
