Its was slated as a development league which also includes the elite kids. But the costs ensure that not all kids are eligible. That means we have kids who are way out of their league even by 11s and 12s who cant compete. This has created a lopsided competition.

"Oh and lets just keep blaming and kicking clubs who are always on the bottom. Bad luck ay, as long as your club is winning. That hero mentality of elite clubs is a disease for football" which is fairly common here. For mine, we need more stronger clubs as this increases the development of all players more of the time.
