FA Cup Round 3 Draw will be live tomorrow at 13:30. Still a couple of games need to be completed, with Garden Suburb v Stockton tomorrow night.
Stockton lost to Suburbs 2-1? they are so out of their depth in ZL1. Long season for poor sharkies.
I watched it from their live stream. They weren't sharp and made too many errors. They even missed a penalty at 89th minutes.Originally Posted by MoSalahh
Stocktons team last year would of put 4/5 past suburbs tonight
I'd like to see Zone League bring in a promotion/relegation playoff in same way NL1 and NPL have done it. Thoughts? I feel as though those games give players and clubs great moments to hold onto.
I think 2nd last from league above should be versing winner of Grand Final from league below (if not the minor premier), if the grand final winner is the minor premier (already promoted) it should be against the grand final loser.
You can?t have finals when using this format
Suburbs didn?t look anything special either. I think Stockton might struggle to win a game
As suggested it can't really happen and wrecks final series in zone league. The Northern League One final series created plenty of interest last year which is probably what you are referring too.
But what did it achieve, Adamstown stayed up and were made to feel like champions. When essentially they finished 11th in the NPL.
I?d be for a 2 up/2 down between the ZLs.
First & Second get promoted or First & GF Winner (runner-up if same team)
Either way, keeps the Finals Series intact in ZL.
It would certainly freshen the leagues up each year.

Nice work on the stats compilation.
Just thought I'd add - Westlakes and Stockton haven't played in ZPL, but have played each other quite a bit in lower leagues.
We had a 2-6L last week in the cup - guess we were a week early.
Interested to see the size of the crowd on Friday night. Will definitely be a bigger attendance than any NPL opening games
It will be in the Thousands for sure!
I think it will be a fair crowd. I?m not sure Thousands and in plural with happen. Hope to be wrong
I think they'll get 3000 minimum.
Is the game on Bartv
yep
No. BarTV don?t cover local footy anymore. NNSW has a YouTube channel but only for NPLM and NPLW.
