I can’t get into specifics , but there is loads of moving parts to this lads. Teams fold, teams merge, clubs really bugger things up too by already having a team in a division above or below… I could go on and on… this all leads to spots to be filled in all the divisions and we need, as best as possible, to make balanced divisions. Some teams request to go up, some teams request to go down, some we ask to. The league does its best to accommodate its members requests, despite what some may think, we are member driven. Obviously we won't do something if doesn't fit, sometimes we do something out of pure necessity, but believe me when I say, there is HOURS and HOURS of debate, discussion and phone calls pre-season trying to align all the divisions, teams are not coming out of a hat.
We would love to draw a line in the sand and say this is it. take it or leave it, but it’s not a reality in amateur soccer. Everything is dealt with case by case.
And before you start in on the schedule… teams STILL have not submitted when and where they play so making a schedule is impossible.
if anyone asks... i wasn't here.
