Any games on?
Hey guys, does anyone have any information on the supposed De Coupling next year ? Apparently 1/2 way through the comp the buottom half of NPL youth teams will drop down to NL1 and the top half of NL1 will go up to NPL
Yeah man that is what my contact from Weston told me.
Sorry didnt mean to come across like that but I didnt see those games so couldnt comment.Ive already learned from not trusting scorelines.So far ive seen a 2 goal win that was as one sided a game as ive seen and a 6 goal difference that was a pretty even game.Looking forward to seeing Valo in action soon are you selling orange trumpets this season or do you still have the black ones from your Edgy days?
That's not the intention of decoupling from every conversation I've heard including in committees. If they do it it will split and the top half of NPL will stay and the bottom 4 or something will join with NL1 and everyone will just play each other more times during the season. Its not a demotion / promotion opportunity. The way you are explaining it doesn't mean more games against similar opposition which is supposed to be the goal.
So if you had a strong say 13’s and 15’s and the other 2 teams were weaker. The strong teams will play in lower grade cause they get dragged down by the other 2 teams in the club. Then they belt teams in a lower grade. Makes no sense. Just add NL to the top division and problem solved
I agree with the promotion/relegation and split levels for youth and get what you are saying but are there any clubs where this is an issue at the moment?Most clubs have consistent results across gamedays.Bringing NL 13's up makes them at best bottom 4 in NPL youth anyway so doesnt make anything better.Still light years behind Magic/Olympic/Jaffas/Maitland.If they wanted better competition every week the kids should have all been trialing for spots in NPL youth teams there were plenty around in the trial period.
This is close to spot on. There is not a club in the HIT that will make a dent in any NPL age group at the mo. NL will dominant most ages this year but the kids playing there don't want a bar of that competitive NPL smoke. Check out how all their better kids jump ship before U12.
