The main concern for myself is northern having the rules for rescheduled and washed out games sorted BEFORE the competition starts and a risk mitigation plan for significant issues etc that prevent games being played. I can understand why clubs are concerned when rules are made up on the fly that can have significant effects on competition standings (since wins will determine which competition clubs sit in for the second part of the year). The competition rules need to be far clearer and northern much more in control of what's going on to stop it becoming the Wild West of football, because it will only get worse once its decoupled.

I would think that after recent events (and covid) that most reasonable people would understand why clubs on the whole would hesitate to throw their support behind it unconditionally, without some clear planning in place.
