A few quality players in the bottom 6 teams would sure up the closeness of the comp even further.
As for promoting 2 teams... it won't happen. It seems every year that there are two teams in battle for promotion and supporters from one team (maybe it's insecurity???) gets on here banging on about promoting 2 teams. Well everyone knew the rules at the start of the season - get over it will ya's!
I can see the point they are trying to make though, from the outside looking in it appears that there are only 2 clubs out of the 8 who are honestly fair dinkum about wanting promotion so if the other 6 clubs couldnt be bothered or think it's to difficult then promote the 2 clubs and dissolve NEWFM to ID's.

It's both a shame and a disgrace that in a promotion/relegation competition, we have 6 out of the 8 clubs in the 2nd best league that are unable to be promoted solely due to lack of ambition.

Either bring ambitious club into the NEWFM and make it true promotion/relegation or be done with the comp, promote both Maitland and Valo and have the same situation as the local league do with applications ever few seasons and clubs will be judged on merit.
