As the relatively newest club into premier football (men and women) NL has been up against it for the last 5 years plus. At every turn, councils decisions and advice has been at best embarrassing and nothing more than hampering the growth of community sport.

So “rumours”? No. Fortunate for Jaffa’s? Yes. But another example of the council backflips - one after another.

This is not a boo hoo story - but just what the club has gone through. No different to any other over the years. Sometimes injecting some truth into the rumours chat isn’t a bad thing.
FTR I also was told by 2 youth players that they were going to Edden. So the rumour that had filtered down at that time sounds like the kids were getting a little over excited. Fortunate for Jaffas? Not sure how.

Agree that the council has hampered progress for the NL club quite often.

Back to WPL. Surely NL can resurrect the WPL side.
