Toronto can do their best to talk it up, the broader Club has failed. A short lived stint in the finals should not gloss over the fact that ZPL is where they need to be unless they have full squads in all ages. Kudos to all Clubs who did. I have no past connections, no gripes, but I agree with jessepink.Quote:

Who knocked the stags out of the FFA cup with a third grade keeper and half their reserve grade team. I’ll let you answer that for everyone. And from what divisionQuote:

You scored a hammy goal and threw 11 men behind the ball for the rest of the game because your side can’t play football.Quote:

Please anyone that thinks the Stags and Singo would finish ahead of the Suns, Dudley, Warner’s Bay are having a lendQuote:

we actually had 5 out that game alsoQuote:

Bing back promotion and relegation from Zl3 to NPL
Then and only then, we will know whoÂ’s the top dog.
Don't stress zpl lads, we all know what your saying is true... other than old mate.
Great predictions Nostradamus …. Hope you went the multiQuote:

Belswans have now not scored in the last 3 games (approx a month). Prediction for this weekend. Toronto 3-0 in a canter. In the other semi, flip a coin, maybe a shootout.
I guess we will find out next year with either Suns or Dudley coming upQuote:

Good club man sticking by the club when Shayne Van as turned up and reaped his rewards yesterday.Quote:

I also reckon that ZL teams would be against it: higher fees, loss of third grade and no doubt new criteria being placed on them by NNSW (fields, finances etc).Quote:

On top of that, if you live in town, why would you want to go from playing at Adamstown, Kotara, Cooks Hill, Dudley, Mayfield, etc. And instead go to Toronto, Thornton, Singo, West Wallsend, Cessnock..Quote:

Very strong ZPL comp, not having to worry about the requirements that goes with NL1.
I feel like you either want to be apart of the NPL/NL1 set-up, or you don't. ZPL is definitely where we want to stay.
Well I guess clubs will never be able to prove they can beat Singo and Toronto in a league.
Heard today NNSWF have asked clubs from ZPL if they want to come up next year
just 1st and reserve grade
think any would be interested ?
Probably not. It means they have to cut 20 blokes from the clubQuote:

Heard some rumblings that next year, NNSW are allowing the NewFM clubs to not have 1 Youth Team and still stay in the comp, but if they can’t fill 2 of their Youth Teams, they will be dropped.
But then that conflicts with them asking ZPL teams to come up and not have any Youth Teams.
So who knows, I feel like at this point NNSW have bigger issues to worry about then this little Comp.
EDIT - just read the post in the other thread, no mention of the Youth requirements though.
Next year they are allowing any teams that can’t fill all sides to be in the comp, the following year if they can’t fill all youth teams they won’t have youth just snr teamsQuote:

If this is the case then this is just another example of the brilliant decisions brought to you by the fools at NNSW Football.
The rule is that NL1 clubs don't need to have Youth teams to still participate in NL1. They do for NPL otherwise they will be dropped from NPL to NL1Quote:

You may find it hard to believe because the club you're not involved in don't, doesn't mean others don't. Kahibah might prefer to tell their kids to go in community all that means is better kids to spread around the rest of the competition.Quote:

So which clubs do favour the youth over the seniors?Quote:

No back up plan for semi finals football? Who’s on Speers point today? JDL? Northern should just come out publicly and say they don’t give a **** about NL1 now and are only using it for fees to feed their pockets!
