2020 Zone Premier League thread

No chance they haven’t got the people committed enough to run a NewFM club. They are lucky to have 3 people on board doing multiple roles now. Million to one.

No chance

Have heard a rumour that Hamilton Azzurri have plans to go into NewFM in the coming seasons. Is this true? If so, how will they go about sorting out ground and juniors issues that come with Newfm.

Not just plans. I’ve heard locked in.

Tell ‘em they’re dreamin’.

Locked in for next season or a later date?

They got to win a comp first

They got to win a comp first

They bypassed an entire Zone League competition so there is nothing to say they can't be promoted without winning a comp.

If they have the infrastructure, backing and intent, and can prove it to NNSW and co in comparison to other existing and/or prospective clubs, it is impossible to completely rule it out regardless of what happens on the pitch.

Yes we’ll kahiba did it and they finished last didn’t they and Azzurri have the juniors as well I think

Surely Swansea FC has to get a look in before Azzurri, they won the 2019 GF and currently they are top of the 2020 table in 1sts and 2nds.

Or maybe even the club who has won 3 of the past 4 premierships?

That’s what 2nd division needs. Belswans and Swansea in the same comp be a little serious

Azzurri vs C Hill both grades 1-1 draw due to C Hill withdrawing for COVID safety concerns.

Would love to get peoples thoughts on this.

[boz-monaut]

Cooks Hill took the precaution on Thursday to call all games off - too many teams were going to have to pull out and too many people involved in the club were exposed or potentially exposed

playing any game under those conditions was not feasible

I imagine theres folks in Azzurri who feel differently but two games out of nearly a hundred doesn't make a difference to the decision making

Oh don't get me wrong we understand the decision making process behind CHill and very much respect that they did so.

I just find the decision that if an individual grade pulls out it's a 3-0 forfeit, but if a club as a whole pulls out it's a 1-1 draw?

[boz-monaut]

if anyone pulls out for reasons related to Covid then it's a 1-1 draw

no one is stupid or unethical enough to do that to throw a game - plus its counter productive - we only get 14 games, pulling out means you miss out entirely
