So, does the winner of this now qualify for the prestigious NST?
Is there some additional criteria?
Pretty sure they are just in as simple as that..they join 8 storied clubs who have permanent positions now, even if they don't win their NPL competitionQuote:

Does the funding for this come from FA now that they have endorsed it? Eg flights and accomm.
Going to be a long season for one club.
Also curious if NPL clubs here had much of a say on anything.
6 extra games at a minimum, extremely long season for one club. NPL players playing just as many if not more then A League players doesn't make much sense to me.Quote:

Travel was always going to be the issue with a NST. It?s hard to justify the $$$ outlay for the benefit.
Maybe they just haven?t released enough info yet in terms of prize money and any support.
Just seems an added expenditure for clubs who may not have necessarily wanted this. (From memory Valentine, Olympic and Edgy were the only ones that ever expressed interest at varying stages).
Just curious how it is all going to work.
Is that all it is? I thought with clubs spending close to a quarter of a million dollars on players the prize money would be much higher.Quote:

I like the idea of the select team to represent. Do we have a national titles for state teams? get that going.Quote:

From 2024 in the NPL NNSW premiers will receive $10,000 while the grand final winners will receive $4,000.
So, could be $14K I guess.
Unclear if it’ll be the ‘minor’ or ‘major’ premiers.
The non-foundation clubs playing in the NST will be the Premiers. I.e. The team that finishes top of the table, not the grand final winner.Quote:

Went and watched Olympic Vs Sydney Olympic today...nice 4-2 win to the local boys (the 2 included a penalty for handball)
Obviously played in a friendly spirit, and I don't know how many reserve grade players got a run today in either team...
I have to say though, I felt like the real winner with those Souvlaki's from the canteen 😍
Yeah went and watched the Olympic game. Early days but Olympic looked very sharpe kale and hay make a big difference to the squad can see them being up the pointy end.
Good day out all round decent crowd.
Fixtures released seems Northern have decided to put the recently promoted and the saved from relegation teams to play Odd that they have it on a Thursday night can only assume Belswans wanted it Thursday night or raised no objections to having it then.
Northern also putting the grand final replay on the Friday night
Re BelSwans on Thursday night - more likely northern ignored a clubs request - like they did with many other club requests.
A lot of scheduling is to do with ref shortages
Requests were ignored, clubs received a response that all but said that.
Does that mean your club is still scheduled to play at home Friday night despite it being used by athletics?Quote:

An update has not long gone through, the Friday games have been moved to Saturday night for 16s and 18s, with the 13, 14, and 15 games being played Sunday morning.
Any trial games on this weekend
Surely notQuote:

It's an interesting result, given they will play a version of "National 2nd tier" later this year against those top clubsQuote:

Valo v NOFC at CB Saturday
1s 4pm, Res 6pm
Noticed belswans are playing a game against Apia Leichhardt. Have belswans recruited well or is this going to be an ugly scoreline
Trial games aren't debuts, otherwise nearly every player from an u18 squad has made a senior debut...Quote:

Spot on Red, this is easily fixed by NNSW making it a rule, aren?t we all in this together ?Quote:
