Wdym? People on here are always on about how they don't pay players, only Croatia do
Scrap 2nds while were at it.. bunch of flops in that grade as well!
That would make for an epic competition if every club could only have one team. Good idea.
NNSW so original, they dropped a grade in the 90?s and the comps didn?t improve then and won?t now. Shows how out of touch they are because NPL and NL1 are hardly an improvement to when it used to be first/second division with three grades. Just more money spent on ex A league players. The kids programs have huge score lines and how many of those kids go on to play first grade? Guessing at the top teams hardly any. ZPL teams beat NL1 teams but ZPL is the problem haha, yeah okay. Maybe the whinges should stick to their own clubs or are your clubs that much of a basket case they need to bag ZPL
Pretty sure only one ZPL team went through and beat a NL1 team this year. But it is all well and good to point at a single game and go they zone teams must be better but do it over a year not one that NL1 teams probably aren't that interested in considering they won't be getting to Round of 32 anyway. But no one here has bagged Zone just discussed if it is worth having a 3rd grade that struggles to have numbers every week
So one team struggled on 1 week and your solution is to ditch a whole grade when the 11 other clubs have no dramas. You?re the best.
Was more than one team and has been more than one week, some of us read the thread.
Why not bring back 23s and have overage players allowed (I wasn?t familiar with zpl when it had 23s so if it had issues I?d love to know them)
Or do it more like the English ressies system and decouple thirds and play them on a Friday night?
I know none of that would happen but they?re just my preferred options to scrapping the best grade.
23's didn't work, for many reasons, which i don't have time to explain.
3rds is more about having/keeping your workers/clubmen within the club and playing on game day. It also allows you the opportunity to blood some young fellas at the same time.
To those who want to rid us of 3rd grade, that's your option, you probably think NPL dropping U/18's was a good choice, so be it that's choice also, but it's obvious you have never run a club before.
There are 24 clubs who have 3rds, a couple struggle for a week and all hell breaks loose. To those who have either played, coached, managed or just been involved 3rds is like all the rest of the grades, not full of ex-alchos but blokes who like all the others want to have a kick.
so sorry it does not meet the standards of others, but who really gives a toss what they/you think...lets move on...

You sound intelligent 🤦🏼*♂️oh ok, why should we give a toss what you alcoholic dinosaurs think. 3rd grade is a joke for fat losers. oops hit the target there?
Get some other losers to cook your food and and pretend your doing football a service.
So scrap this 3rds aids and get another ZL grade back in.
And wrong again dropping 18s wasn't good, so assuming isn't your thing either. btw young fellas can play ressies because thats no high point either.
Welcome to modern football grandpa.
Now back to football oh thats right. You're going really well right now with all those grades.
