2025 Zone League 1

[Zone Insider]

Are they not still ringing the Councils to try and have the other clubs kicked off grounds...

You are aware that no club owns their ground and it?s a council decision.

It?s just the clubs who think they own the ground and won?t share for the betterment of the game.

Smith Park would be a worthy facility for Croatia to re-locate.

It would for zone level but I don?t think it would meet requirements for Northern League One should they be promoted

New Croatia coach been announced yet?

[Vincent]

That?s good, look forward to watching Cardiff vs Croatia in the grand final, I think it will happen with Cardiff?s form 2nd half of season they will win remaining 5 games

Yeah Cardiff have a favourable run home but still have a few tough teams. It?s more keeping blokes on the field due to injuries. And Hopefully a wet day v azzuri goes abit better this time around 🤣

If this is true, I can see pops coaching the suns in 2026

Yeah just like that rumour a couple seasons back that at training the players weigh themselves before and after training LOL.
You guys can keep talking and spreading BS about Croatia. We'll just keep doing our talking on the field...where it matters.

Hi guys just wondering where the bloke from Cardiff that said Wes Pryce wasn?t a big signing is? He seems to be doing pretty well on the best and fairest leaderboard? Would like to know everyone?s thoughts. Cheers- Richy

Off memory that was Jardel who said that ? he hasn?t been right on much this year

I actually believe they wouldn?t be doing it. So in this case I don?t think they would be trying to pinch grounds

[Zonal Marking]

Upsetting news if true. Hopefully this will act as a warning sign for other clubs that are doing similar to what Azzurri did - create/bring back a new/renewed club, gather a bunch of NPL mates together, sling some sponsors & dollars together, big buzz for a few years but lack sustainability when the core group fades out. Hopefully they can find some sustainability, or at the very least enjoy the ride while it lasts. And hopefully these other clubs rocking a similar blueprint are able to provide the funny content that Azzurri's socials has over the years, because it was a lot of fun at its peak.

Does anyone else think this could also happen to Croatia? Flying high at the moment but things can change very quickly

Yeah I was quite taken back about a comment on such a good player coming to his club. Great to see he didn?t let it get to his head and let the football do the talking in the end.

Nope. Very strong community support behind them.
They are here for the long haul

Im sure the same thing was said 30 years ago?

Yep. They threw in the towel in the 90s so arent immune to going under.
