There?s a lot of people on here that make stuff up,

If Wallsend pull the pin my tip is no promotion and relegation between NL1 and ZFL1 this season.

Maybe they are hence why 2 up is being floated coz they don?t want 8 team comp

What is that old saying about the pot calling the kettle black?

[The Postman]

2 up to NL1 and 1 down, now leaves ZL1 and ZL2 both with 11 teams provided pro/rel still happens between those grades.

I think the goal should be 10 team comps all the way through. Might take another season to get there but I think it would be best long term in terms of quality.

[Taffy]

Have Duns confirmed they will go up?

Well they haven't won it yet, so no it's not confirmed until we see who finishes top as to who will move up

Word on the grapevine is that the forfeit is taking place because westlakes have a full match schedule and with the seasons end very close have ran out of time for the game to be played.

So yeah nothing to do with punishment for calling the match off with a dry pitch.

You dont get a forfeit loss for a back log of games mate. You get a forfeit loss for being soft and not playing in playable conditions

Wouldnt that just be classed as a 1 all draw not the home team losing 3 nil because they *ran out of time to play it* i think the grapevine is telling porkies happy to be wrong though

Hand this Postman a golden letter, well said. 10 team competitions will provide greater quality and have sustainable clubs. The move to 12 teams in the old ZPL just diluted playing talent as it just spread the quality. 18 rounds is a good amount.

That?s what some don?t get - it doesn?t have to be in your plans - that?s the system now with the pyramid - don?t like it then dont enter zone football it?s simple as that

Were Clubs consulted with the changes? Did they get a vote? When I was playing there was no promotion! Mainly because we were looked at as trash! Also, because it was just a bunch of blokes that wanted to be competitive without the hassle of 3 night s a week training. Along with a MUST be there commitment. I'm not convinced this is actually what the members want. Teams like Dudley, Mayfield, Kotara, Swansea etc all have been "stable" for a long time, you risk a lot of stability with promotion relegation.

I agree with what the postman said about 12 teams in ZL1. It's too many!
