not really, how about we get the season up and running and maybe look into the year after, if its needed.
Remember, there is no plan as such currently, unless it's in his head just waiting to pop out.
Will we get to vote on this or will it just be said it's happening?
Basic questions?
1. Where at?
2. Times? games on 1 day or 2?
3. What happens to lower grades?
4. Canteen?
5. What benefit to individual clubs does it give.
6. Clubs loss of revenue, who will want to give up a home game?
7. Do we really need a Magic round?
Probably a few more to throw in...if your thought about it..
Run at me...
I?m sure all those questions will be answered when it?s all set in stone?.
The worst idea is to give clubs a vote
Very valid questions.6. Clubs loss of revenue, who will want to give up a home game?
7. Do we really need a Magic round?
Any news regarding to coaching announcements? There are a few teams that yet to find one.
Heard Ben Kantarovski taking over at Suns.
No. 3 regarding when do the Lower grades get scheduled to play is going to be a pain in the arse with these games most likely having to be played on a Sunday or possibly even midweek.
Also I imagine that the clubs (and players) who get the early games in the morning aren't going to be overly impressed.
Another factor to consider is the pitch.
Will it hold up to 6 games on the same day?
Jardel makes some good points.
When I think about it, it gives me images of a grand final day with all the players and staff and supporters there, maybe set up for the day. Maybe not.
I agree the sentiment and the idea of having a day or weekend to showcase all the games would be a good draw card - especially if NPL have a weekend off or something on the scheduled day.
But, the more I think about it, what are the benefits to clubs? What does a “Magic round” do for the league or clubs?
The idea of a sparkly Magic round is great, don’t get me wrong, but do the logistics and actual implementation serve a purpose?
If you are a Cardiff supporter or fan, you aren't going to hang around to watch a Suns v Swansea round 3 fixture. I doubt it's going to bring many extra eyes to any games. For all the work that would be involved and sacrifices to make this happen, I don't see where the benefits are and who the benefits would be for.
It?s all about the TV rights
Someone is ticking boxes for their CV or to "look good" in the community. anyone who's worked in govt institutions puts up with this daily.
people look at the crowd on grand final days (people from a lot of different clubs) and ask themselves how can we get that for a normal round game
Can't compare GF to a normal round, GF is the last game, has shit loads of meaning, usually between the best 2 teams in the comp, winner takes all.
Magic round could be 12v11, 10v9 or even go the other way 12v1....sounds magical...
i know you cant compare it, im just saying thats what people are looking at and saying how can we get that for a normal round
Nothing wrong with promoting the League! By the sounds of it there could be some sponsorship opportunities for the League itself. Plus, games on BarTV, highlights on Youtube, TikTok etc.
Has Zone League ever had a sponsor? If the money is spread around the clubs, it can only help!
