so what your saying is, its up to NL1 teams to give permission for them to be promoted? seriously.
as for throwing stones in glass houses, is Toronto in a position to negotiate, when they fail to comply by the rules, and not field teams.
Here's a thought, maybe all the piss taking from some NL1 teams over the last few years, is the reason why NNSWF is piss taking now as well?
The clubs aren't stating they should be consulted on who is promoted or not.
They want to be consulted on what the competition will look like with only 9 teams and what is the future requirements for promotion.
NNSW had a criteria years ago that clubs were relegated from NPL for not meeting, now we have clubs being promoted who don't meet that criteria but will in the coming years.
NNSW should get rid of the criteria and base promotion and relegation on football performance/ability across the club championship table.
That will force clubs to develop their youth and not relying on 1st grade to stay up of get promoted.
