Happy 2012 everybody....the 2012 NSWPL season is just a few weeks away now so let have some discussion about the teams,the players,the coaches and FNSW, and lets keep it just about the football.

NO PERSONAL ABUSE OR TROLLING PLEASE....!!!!!!!

A few weeks away lol

More like 11 weeks away lol

Olympic vs Rockdale will be the Round 1 game for Olympic at Belmore

What was it I heard that the Sydney FC, CCM, and Newcastle youth teams were in the NSWPL this season, or was all that just a rumour?

Waste of money if this happens

These players are all state league players for there various state league teams

Wants the point
Sydney fc Mariners Jets arent exactly running on a profit
These clubs should recruit there own players rather than rather STEAL
our state league clubs better players


As far as im concerned our youth under 20 and below used to be very
competitive know they are complete shit

These A league teams should play there youth teams just before the first graders
as far as im concerned the A league is nothing more than the plastic league

Hope SYDNEY Lose this weekend
Go the Mariners

Exactly, all the youth players from the 3 franchises are players from the various state league clubs anyway, so whats the point?

NSWPL kicks off on the last weekend of March

2011 was an experimentation year for Olympic with basically a new team and coaching staff, hopefully in season 2012 we'll be better and they'll improve from what they did in 2011

Marconi has bought a lot of quality
Syd United will be up there again
Sutherland will challenge again
Rockdale have bought well and could challenge
Blacktown City will be up there
Manly, honestly dont know
Bonnyrigg will be competitve again
APIA, not sure what to make of them yet
Melita, Blacktown Spartans, Wolves will struggle

This, I hope it doesn't happen.
Hopefully Sutho are right up there again.

What does everyone else think about these A league teams having there own youth teams

Im against it

Im all for them if they hold open trials and recruit players from the Super League and below
Dont like them stealing players from the other Premier League teams

The A-League teams already have their own youth teams,

i think you mean having them play in the NSWPL, cant see a problem if they are the same squad that's been playing A-League youth......

it's actually better than what occurs now,at the moment many of the youth and fringe A-League players take positions in NSWPL teams until the A-League starts therefore reducing the number of positions in squads for up and coming youth players within the club ranks, so really if there are 3 more teams running around it's a good thing, the real issue here is that it will extend the NSWPL season by quite a few rounds and have the clubs the funding to pay players,coaches and staff for the extended period,the plus side is the semi pro players get a longer season which improves fitness,skills and experience......

it makes sense for the a-league youth teams to be playing in the pl (albeit not for points). those kids are the cream of the crop and what they need for their development is games. they can play in the youth league which is 20 odd games, and then another 20 odd games in the pl gives them all year round football.
there is also a benefit to the PL clubs as more people might attend games knowing an a-league team is playing, albeit a youth team.
theres no need for negativity, it is a good concept.

do you actually have a list of players signed by marconi? i cant remember all of the players coming in.

Couldn't agree more Kolner.

In Spain and Germany (two currently strongest footballing nations on earth), all the "B" teams play in the lower divisions. It works perfectly for development, the game in general and raises interest.

I am sure crowds in the NSWPL would increase fourfold.

the more football time against real footballers, not youth boy's the better they will be ....

there is no loss of players from the NSWPL...

completely agree. theres just a small minority out there with an utter disregard for supporting our elite domestic competition that would suggest otherwise.

Kolner that small minority must be suffering from the success our elite domestic competition is having off late. Has been a great season so far!

agree. ive been to most sydney games this year and even though their last home game was a shocker on the field, off field it was a decent crowd, great atmosphere, ratings are up and the league overall is definitely on the up. im hoping that it continues into the back end of the season and then at seasons end we can start looking forward to another PL season.

I dont get some of the last few moronic comments

If people dont want to watch the a-league or follow an a-league franchise what are you going to do about it, put a gun to people's heads?

If they want to support their state league club, be it NSWPL/VPL or wherever else what business is it of anyones

People have the right to support or not support what or whoever they want

Fielding our youth teams with a few of our fringe players will be a good thing (off the top of my head for the Mariners - Musialik, MacDonald, Gallagher, Duke, Pasfield)

Would prefer an FFA Cup though

Jets wouldn't play their youth in the NSWPL they would play in the NBN State League (NNSWF)

:cool:

Rockdale City Suns

Australian Club started by Bulgarian immigrants

lol lol lol

Good Luck in 2012

I agree with your concept, but disagree about the crowds increasing dramatically. What you'd end up getting for say Sydney FC, is possibly some of the more dedicated Cove supporters showing up, but you wouldn't be getting that much increase in gate revenue.

In saying that, I personally would be quite happy to go to a fair few of the matches. Where I can I got to the odd APIA game. Quite enjoy the games at Lambert Park, despite all the matches I attended last season they lost, bar one v Macarthur in a Waratah Cup game. :lol:

what is it with you....??

I bet your a little pimple faced teenager who was born in Sydney, right?!

Grow up mate and leave the old world crap where it belongs.

It has no place in modern Australia.

I am sure your family left Greece to get away from the crap too.

i agree.
not all this crap again. mods, please ban this nimrod trying to hijack whats ia football thread. seriously.

It looks like T-UNIT was provoking for a reaction and Macedoniaisgreek took the bait

Silly boys

his username is sufficient provocation in my eyes, let alone some of the garbage this kid has been posting on here.

I havent abused anyone

T Unit put the Rockdale Suns Emblem up and i just gave some history on the club
