As they say - stay tuned to the Nearpost Local. The Capital Football Board would by now have reviewed its position, following the meeting with the Zone Representatives and Club Presidents. Among the issues of concern are the continuation of playing squads in the Capital Football HPP. Clubs don't want them, the CF Technical staff have advised against it, but the Board has enabled it to continue. As to the concern over ACTAS involvement in the PPL, that's another matter and not a happy story for Clubs.
There are other issues, important ones and as one Club President pointed out to the NPL this week - "when do we get to talk about other critical issues affecting the game and clubs in the ACT, and why is so much importnace and precious time being given by the Board to such an incredibly small minority of players." Spot on!
I guess by now that Zone Reps and Club Presidents would have been advised of the Board's final view. Let's hope the Board sees reason - or to be specific, some of the Board!
What happens if the the Board finds itself in pretty much the same position as when the meeting was adjourned last Tuesday evening? Somethings gotta give!
I would imagine that the convener of the meeting on behalf of the Zone Reps (Mark O'neill) would be reluctant to precipitate a "spill". He seems the sort of bloke who sees the big picture and would prefer to take people with him. But he is a no nonesense sort of bloke. Not one to "admire a problem"! What do you do if the Zone Reps can't convince themselves that there is a way ahead, that things will change with the Board for the better?
The NPL has assurances from the President of Belconnen United (Mark O'Neill) who is convening the meeting on behalf of the Zone Reps, that he will give the NPL an interview after Tuesday's meeting. Mark is a straight shooter! The NPL will also endeavour to speak to the Capital Football Board President, John Logue following the meeting.
We wait and see. Stay tuned!
