I do agree that the League will not be as strong the first year or 2 but soon afterwards it will be stronger as players move around and settle in and as religation moves weeker squads down and promotion brings new clubs up..Time is what it takes..Time....but in the end this will be a stronger league for sure. And is a great move for BC Soccer.
I still dont beleive any team will pass up the opportunity to move up..Maybe Im wrong..Cause what a shame that would be and a huge step backwards.
Krouch AND Omari........FFS.......West Van is stronger this year than last year.
Just my two-cents as I haven't said anything on this topic yet...Ghouse, I'm afraid "time" will show what a disaster this BC Premier league idea was and then it will leave the VMSL, FVSL, and VISL two steps back of where they are now. Let's say for argument sake that the top 4 VMSL Premier teams at the end of this season DO go up (they won't as Captain said), but at the end of the 2010/11 innaugral BC Premier league season you have the 3 FVSL teams all being relegated. So, based on what Azzi has told us, each league sends their own Premier league champion up for the next season, meaning the FVSL only has one team that following season. After that, say 2-3 VISL teams get relegated, so by the third season, this "Super" league has 1 FVSL team, maybe 1-2 VISL, and the rest VMSL...let's be honest...what is the motivation for the FVSL and VISL to continue supporting this league if they only have 1 team each per season vs 7-8 VMSL teams??? What does that do to improve the VISL or FVSL???I do agree that the League will not be as strong the first year or 2 but soon afterwards it will be stronger as players move around and settle in and as religation moves weeker squads down and promotion brings new clubs up..Time is what it takes..Time....but in the end this will be a stronger league for sure.

Fair enough, Mark. :thumbsup: Nowadays, it seems like these sort of things are being attempted more. When Club Ireland gained promotion two year ago, we as a Club still knew we had to try and improve over the long term. Good luck this year with the new set-up.
Thanks Captain, but it's Mike, not Mark
Not so Cap't. SU was missing 5 or 6 players for that game, but still looking good for the coming season.
Did Thomo call Reedie an idiot?
