    So an NL1 club finishes top of NL1 (club championship) at halfway point so they go into the 2nd 8 tier for 2nd part of season. fair enough.

    If they finish 1st or 2nd by club championship in that middle tier do they start the NPL 12 next year?

    That's how it should be.

    Neither do the bottom NPL teams though

    Yup, which is what will make promotion and relegation interesting. At the moment there’s players who have come out of NPL and aren’t interested in competing at that level once they have a go at it - and it only gets faster and harder as they get older.

    So in that sense will they continue playing football if pushed out of their comfort zone or have to continually move to a team that sits where they are comfortable playing.

    the top of NPL will be right, but I also think that the majority of clubs have shown reasonable concern about the fallout in that space that will be continually shifting. If the bottom of the table are around the same as the top of NL1 there’s going to be a lot of movement in that space for possibly little payoff. If one club has an off year (maybe like olympic who looks like they have lost a lot of players in the younger groups) a demotion for their youth could cripple their club for years to come including players feeding their first grade team. A lot of clubs especially since covid have realised they need to have a sustainable balance of their playing pool.

    I dont have the answers but can see why there’s concern there. I still do wonder if they went out across a broad range of clubs and actually brought this to the youth players instead of clubs and parents what sort of responses they would get. They are the ones playing after all and most of them are pretty switched on.

    *id also suggest if losing players to the jets could cripple a club in the youth space, does that mean clubs become actively against promoting their players into a higher pathway as well?
    Guess we will see what happens soon!

    Generally, the hysteria about clubs moving is infantile. No club is being crippled due to relegation. They stay down due to poor management.

    The biggest downer is the cheast beating which cant be had but that's up to the club to get over.
    And if "insert club name here" isnt the top then some other clubs will be just like they were 20 40 60 years ago. It's cyclical.

    How about we stick the badge for a minute and concentrate on skilling up generally.

    I agree. For once can we forget about hurting a clubs feelings and do what’s best for the sport.

    Interesting to see how desperate they are to play it after washing out the round with magic 24hrs before kick off

    As i understand it, no yoof games if washed out second round will be replayed. [see jim wallis]
    there's some that will miss opportunities
    eg Maitland [bye]

    edgie have gone to LMRFF v nth coast
    If its just coastal, weston might get on v valo.
    mid coast[@ Port] v Magic? - 2-6mill fri, 15-25 sat + 10-30 sun. yeah, nah.


    If some don't get washed out, that's when things will get pissy.

    North coast always play at LMRFF.
    Draws will be common for the rest of the year, I think next week is a wet one too
    Hopefully it will push clubs to look at all weather pitches in the future, just like north coast did

    Probably fine for North Coast when it is a full sporting complex. Bit hard for clubs when there are other parties not wanting all weather including councils since they own all the grounds used. That's before cost comes into play

    That’s the newy mentality we know and love. Keep the fig trees, leave the heavy rail, don’t tear down the big dick, it’s all too hard. Meanwhile other areas just getting it done and reaping the benefits

    When some clubs start hearing about a gentle bending of the rule already happening it might make them even more upset.Mid Coast have used a backup all weather facility in Forster so Magic should get their game on.Its been interesting already hearing some kids/parents/clubs happy to get a point from a washout vs some others more than happy to reschedule knowing they are going to lose but wanting to get the kids on the park.Another results vs development argument I suppose.

    Our council doesnt want Synth pitches? Well time to turf them out.

    Newcastle needs an all weather pitch. Its just embarrassing for our pissant town

    There is no all weather facility in Forster. That town is going to get a drenching like everywhere else. Those games will be off for sure.
