Thread: 2020 Zone Premier League thread

    The debate around playing a final series is actually quite interesting. In most major Worldwide football competitions there is no final series, it is first across the line. I realise they have other competitions & knockouts where they have finals. I also realise this is a shortened season with draws for washouts without replays & draws for Covid scares effecting table positions. I just think it's strange that here in Australia we are so ingrained with having a grand final winner in all sports.

    I think the main reason Australia has a Grand Final Culture is because there is no promotion/relegation in professional sport. Usually a team having a good season means either promotion or playing in a cup competition. Lacking that means comps with out and out leaders become stale given that without a post season there is nothing to play for. Given that ZPL has no promotion, unlike the leagues under it, a post season kind of gives the comp more value. Having said the comp is fairly even this year so it might be satisfying either way.

    It would be an authorised Comp with refs. The extra rego is minimal it’s just clubs make you pay extra to make money.
    The only issue you would have to pay refs as the governing body won’t cover the refs

    Cardiff have a cracking year when it means nothing sums up their luck. Good bunch of lads that yo-yo up the table year to year and this year their up. Hopefully it’s the start of a solid few years for them

    Heard Swansea beat Mayfield 1-0 in both grades. Any truth to this?
