OK
Yeah I can't see them moving teams up this year. Will just go with 8 play each other 3 times and then end of 2024 top team moves up as planned.
You?re hard on for them is embarrassing.
Back to NL1 teams as it should in this thread, Wallsend should have had a plan years ago to develop Cook Park into their home ground imo.
Genuine Question:
Following Pro/Rel being implemented at the end of 2024 for the 2025 season, do Suns have the option not to go up? (assuming they win the League - if not Suns then whichever club wins)
NNSW website has this answer in their Q&A about if optional to go up or down:
No. By competing in NPL Men?s, Northern League One and Zone Football League, all clubs will be bound by the appropriate regulations which will outline the promotion and relegation requirements of each league.
NL1 could become an interesting comp over the next couple of years.
You?ll have a handful teams with the whole Youth setup, wanting to get promoted, plus a recently relegated NPL team who surely will want to go straight back up.
These teams, you would think would be spending like $30k-$50k a season on players as well.
Then another lot of teams with just 1st and Ressies, a Zone League team just happy to be there (or not in most cases) playing for a hot dog and a beer with their mates.
Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Ive heard with news breaking of Wallsends demise, Croatia have shown interest in moving up.
Is this a long shot due to lack of junior program?
Or if finances allow it could they, or any team for that matter, pay their way in?
Pretty sure only NPL are contracted to have youth. NPL1 not. It'd be too late for a promotion now surely.
Let them go up. They are yet to finish a season first and earn promotion. If they want to play there let them. I?m not sure any ZPL sides want to.
They would save 15 wages not having a third grade.
Who cares if they do, at least they showing some ambition. Seems abit of jealously on here from a few that are always bringing them up.
Why doesn?t your club Dudley go up ? Or are they scared Chad ?
That's what it it jealousy and fear of the unknown.
Also laughable that thirds are being paid.
Anyway it hardly matters, based on facebook posts from Wallsend over the past few days seems the jumped the gun and aren't folding, with a group looking to maintain the club going forward.
?Exciting times ahead!!
Wallsend FC are excited to announce our coaching team that will lead us into 2024. Chris Gallagher will take on the role of Head Coach, Chris is passionate about football and even more passionate about the mighty Red Devils. Chris will be supported by Joel Taylor, Trent Richardson, Matty Williams and Luke Jennings (Goal Keeping).
Everyone get on board, the Devils are back in town.?
Barely left town?
Got to the link road and decided to turn back at Cameron park roundabout. Good on them and good on the people jumping on board to help them out. Hope they win the lge and make a movie about it.
Why did it take threatened closure before people put their hands up, you needed to reach out early if they wanted help, good luck to them, hope it works out.
Are they going back to the bottom or will Northern let them stay in NL1

Good to see Gall get a head coaching role. He?s worked with some good coaches over last few years in his TD roles, and that will serve him well. He?ll also have excellent player contacts from his recent TD roles.
A quality guy with a real Wallsend connection. I hope they do well.
Throwing a quick early predicted ladder up, can?t see too much changing this year with westy and the stags fighting it out for promotion, Southy finished the year strong and predicting they?ll be even better with the majority of the squad a year older. Hearing a few rumblings at kahibah so may miss the 5.
