So if every team below is no good, who do you promote, when promotion and relegation starts?
I don't believe having, 8, or 10 is going to improve the competition.
Watching NPL this year, its probably the worst quality of football for a long time, and that includes the inclusions of many ejets players saturating these teams.
So is the ejet programs the issue, if jets or aleague teams are not interested in local players, and they have minimal impact in NPL, this can only mean we have low talent base of players, and more football opportunities will only in time flourish better players, reducing teams, will stunt further growth, and promote pub leagues.

Lastly I'm not sure, local NPL teams will agree to spend more monies or travelling to mid North Coast to play, and vise versa.
