I think you are assuming that promotion from this competition is based on performance, which it is not. It is primarily based on eligibility criteria around grounds. I agree that Cookers deserve promotion and I have no doubt that they will get it (along with Wallsend). It will be interesting to see where all of the players that are no longer able to play for the club will end up.Originally Posted by john
Cooks Hill, Wallsend & Kahibah going up to NewFM. What does that mean for ZPL?
Swansea
Mayfield
Uni
Dudley
New Lambton
Barnsley
Beresfield
Will it be a 8 team or a 10 team comp, are Cardiff safe from relegation?
I'd say there will be a fair bit of movement happening in terms of clubs, comps etc for next year. They'll want 10 team comps still so there'll be some gaps to fill.
I think cardiff will still go down, is there something in the rules about relegation having to occur??
You would be hoping and preying that it would remain a 10 team comp, with Newcastle Football seeing that the likes of Burbs and Suns are capable of competing in this grade.

I don't think it's up to NNSWF
I could be completely wrong but I think Newcastle Football runs the Zone Leagues on behalf of all the local Federations.
Apologies, entirely correct. I meant Newc Football. Will edit it.
You have got to be kidding me. Kahibah promoted? Wow criteria is out the window. They could hardly field 3 teams in an open comp. Come 2nd last and go up hahaha. Will get smashed
they are going down to newfm
And you are correct there.
Had a chat with the Zone 'gaffer' just then and discussed the ability of clubs to go up to ZL1 with 3 teams.
It will certainly be an interesting Zone meeting out at Sth Wallsend Wed week. (22nd)
Cardiff to stay in zpl for mine.
Sorry but what a joke this is. Your club has been itching to get back up. Yet you want to now try and bleed other zone teams of players
Would not be surprised to see Gumprecht bring in some of the older kids from his International Football School!
The 17's issue is an interesting one but I can only guess that one of the big aims of NNSW is to get more clubs to NEW FM that have the large junior bases to bring players through rather than need to go and poach players from other clubs. Knowing some of the Kahibah guys this has been one of the big issues for their club over the years as the club has operated as one entity of jnrs and snrs for almost 10 years now. The club puts a lot of time into players of all abilities from small sided thru to 17's and more often than not the more talented older kids then head to other NEW FM or NPL clubs because their senior option has always been ID1/ZPL.
I think it is also ironic that they have been promoted now on the back of three tough years on the field and with their facilities not much different to 2008 when they first applied for admission to NEW FM as ID1 premiers and were knocked back because of facilities. They always argued their facilities were no worse than some NEW FM clubs and it now appears NNSW are agreeing with this argument.
Apologies for any offence United, to "bleed" other clubs in any division is not what we're about here at Wallsend,I just wanted to get this information across to as many people as possible.Apologies again..
What's the joke? Giving players from teams who want to have a crack at NEWFM a chance? All the hard work from the Wallsend club, to get back on track and put forward a case for inclusion in NEWFM? Or the club simply holding trials?
Welcome to the small world of Newcastle Football. Like it or not every club is in competition for the small pool of talent, what is a joke is you expecting everyone to be nice about it. Sorry but that's not how a "Competition" works.
Look, we're just looking to give any young guys in the lower competitions a chance to come and try their hand at playing in the NewFM league under some quality coaching. From a young (18-22 yr old) persons perspective, they should be looking to play the highest level possible to give them every chance in playing in the NPL or higher (personal decisions aside).
Again, we're looking to give them this chance.
Fellas, there is a club notices thread for club notices, please keep any club notices to the club notices thread which was made for club notices.
Not trying to be a jerk here but it can get pretty ridiculous when you have notices posted in every thread.
Definitely not having a crack at you guys Amish, Wallsend are untitled to recruit who ever they like just the same as every other club. Putting a notice up about trails in a public forum is common sense pay no attention to what United said.
Good luck for the season ahead.
Exactly, how else do you attract players? They wont compete with the current squad, plus some players will leave. Where are they meant to get players from?
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
