Would u have Zpl be 23s & Resies or 19s & 23s?
Why wouldn't you have three 12 team ZL comps, with the rest making up a 7-8 team comp? Why is it a good idea to have 12 teams in NBN but not ZL?
theres not enough talent for a 12 team competition, that was clearly shown last time it was 12
I understand that Southern Beaches will move from Cahill Oval to Alan Davis Fields Gateshead. LMCC are reportedly chipping in $2m to upgrade the facility. New drainage, reticulation turf, lights - $600K and the balance on facilities over the 4 fields.
It will cater for rugby, cricket and aussie no rules.
Southern beaches don't play rugby at Holford Oval, but I think Central play junior league there. Southern Beaches left there for a reason.
Surely, with that amount of whippy being thrown around, Cahill or another ground ( CB Complex, Marks Point or Blacksmiths?) could be upgraded if VPFC got a cut.
I'm hearing more and more that NNSWF are strongly considering a 12 team State League and then down to ZPL. Could be just shit being spread around the football circles but it appears to be building strength.

http://m.footballaustralia.com.au/ne...s-series/72678

I think the NPL 1st round 2014 will be
1- Qld V NNSW
2- NSW V ACT
3- VIC V TAS
4- S.A V W.A
Semis
5- winner game 1 V winner game 2
6- winner game 3 V winner game 4
Final
game 5 V game 6
Host to be decided on a points system threw the NPL finals series
3 points winning in 90min
2 points winning in extra time
1 point winning on penalties
3 point per goal scored (excluding penalties)
-1 point per goal conceded (excluding penalties)
-1 point per yellow card
-3 points per red card
Will be interesting to see which Premiers get sent.
In my opinion it should be the Minor Premiers
So just found out tonight that the Junior competition in the NPL will not include Valentine. They were under the impression that they would play so that there would not be a bye round - 12 team competition. (Caused by brining in Mid North Coast).
Not sure of the reasons, maybe Mid North coast are not in, maybe there is a Central Coast group of teams, maybe some clubs didn't want the competition for players. Who knows.
Makes it difficult for them to maintain juniors in the U13-U17, and if they get back up will have to start from scratch again (Like Adamstown are doing)
I thought it made a lot of sense, it gives the relegated club a real incentive to fight hard to get back up straight away. It also meant anyone who got promoted could at least guarantee that they would have a junior program for a minimum of two years.
I've heard there is not only a push for North Coast Juniors in the NPL but also one for senior grades to join the NNSW NPL. Plenty of rumours are doing the rounds at the moment and this could easily be one of them.
Premy I wonder why nelson bay are in front of burbs wallsend and half of ZPL in "your" opinion
