I'd agree, thats what makes my preference Maitland. Not that I have any issues with Valentine (although low support is disappointing) but I want to see the Maitland area have a side at the top level.

Is it a perfect trade losing a north end of the lake club out of it for a Maitland club , maybe maybe not but for hundreds of kids from Beresfield to Rutherford and beyond I think it gives a better link to wanting to reach that top level. And fr parents too not having to commit to 30-40 min drives to get their child into a NPL squad, which not all families can manage to do.
