Yeah plus many of the ZL3 clubs still declining stepping up to ZL2 as they’re not getting a 3rd grade. Have also heard that some of last year’s (now ZL2) teams wanted to go down but were told no because NF knows they have the numbers for 3 grades

Can?t believe they didn?t put either Croatia or Crabs into ZL1. Should be interesting year in ZL2
Someone at Cardiff stamping their feet saying ?no one met the criteria to be promoted so can?t relegate us??

It's football, not s***er!!
Up the tigers
I could be missing something but in a promotion/relegation situation, isn't it the premiers in the lower division who are entitled to promotion (providing they're eligible). In this situation the Hamilton Azzurri club weren't eligible because the club already had teams in the division above.
With the premiers Azzurri not being eligible and with Cardiff probably not wanting to be relegated, they wouldn't have needed to stomp their feet.
No doubt Cardiff need to improve in season 2024 to avoid relegation, but maybe those on here whinging about Cardiff need to get their own club in order. That is, win the premiership (and be eligible) instead of feeling entitled based on criteria.
Criteria should only play a part if the side that finished last were happy to be relegated, or where the comp above needed more numbers (which has happened in last couple of years).
Shout out to all the salty boys here that can?t tie the laces of the mighty tigers! ZPL BABY!!!!
Being serious, The morale thing would have been to forfeit your spot.
Cardiff had 22 rounds to prove their worth last year and were well off the pace.
What's the point of having promotion / relegation if you just use a technicality to keep others out.
Poor form
