Capital Soccer Men's Meeting

Capital Soccer Men's Meeting

Possibly this post is going up a little late...but after all the talk we've had this year I thought I would at least give people the details of when they are actually able to take some action...

The meeting is tonight, Thursday 25th of September. the Central League meeting is at 6.30, and the General meeting is at 7.30 at the CF offices in Petone-

Agenda is:
Central League
- Review of standards, any changes to regulations?
- Any desire to bring back a Reserve League?

General
- Suggested regulation changes:
          - Regrading?
          - Reaffirm age restrictions
- U-19 (U-21?) leagues
- Should we raise the age for Masters football?
- Club-based Referees

I am interested to see that the Reserve League topic is under the Central League meeting only, I would have thought other clubs may have had their opinions on that also...

If you have felt strongly about anything that has happened this year, or just generally want to give your ideas for the progress of our sport in the football capital of NZ, then get along and put your 2 cents in....

This thread will also allow for some feedback after the meeting

i dont think its for every tom,dick and harryhotspur is it?

Summer Ale is out ?

everybody should go and bombad them - this season has been horrible

It's where you attack them with a large number of advertisements

I figure if I'm the only one to show up then I get to design the whole league structure for next season

its when you put your game/angry face on and demand answers on mass for why the season wasnt complete and wheres our money back and why do we have the top leagues in wellington being interigated in the public forum every week.

All Karori's home games to be played in the first 9 weeks in an attempt to catch the last of the dry summer weather?

That said, if you could get Easts Cricket Club to move their pitch off our ground that'd be quite good.

Not sure if thats League Structure but....

why dave wilson wests are allowed to play on sundays

I heard they cut your piece to have me on anyway.

It took us something like 7 years to get our pitch moved from the opposite corner of the park to where it is now....and I'd probably settle for a return to the Premier League...

To be honest, if you could give us a hand in getting the player regrading rules tightened up that'd be much appreciated

i meant skew the home games so more ones earlier. no could do. regrading - yeah that is on the agenda as you can see Feverish2008-09-25 16:28:24

well i managed to charm them over into introducing the 'Mike Greene Super Club League'. Feverish2008-09-26 08:58:14

That would actually be a mint league structure.

any news making sure everyone plays on a saturday - and tighting regrading?

we talked about some tightening of the rules. If two or three of the ideas are employed then it should have an impact. Season finishing when your team finishes (not the league), only regraded once per weekend, playing firsts and seconds on the same day etc.

there was interest in a playoff system in the grades. I think it would be great to add a bit of spice and have a focal point for our season.

Yeah, I was pretty confused when the old-timers started talking about how the a-league and nzfc don't have automatic relegation - it's a bit irrelevant to talk about leagues that stand alone... It's a difficult topic though, cause there are always going to be valid arguments for and against it, perhaps the bottom 2 teams need to be under threat in CL, not just the bottom... I don't know, you could talk about it for hours and still get nowhere! 

I think I remember Keith saying that the options discussed to prevent the piss being taken out of regrading rules would be circulated for discussion. I don't think that my idea of banning CL second teams from Premier will be in that list though although there was support for it despite what Keith said. The fossils seemed to think its more important to let little Johnny come on as a sub for the 1st team then go back to the 2nd team in Premier, than to safegaurd the integrity of Central  League, Premier League, Capital 1, Capital 2 and even Capital 3. But it was a good meeting, the age of attendees is getting lower and the old guard will get worn down slowly but surely. 

tawas run by a dictatorship

I had a chat with Keith a few weeks ago about the Venus Shield format changing.

It was mentioned, then we got talking about the O'Brien shield which from what I could gather was played for under the Ranfurly Shield rules by Wellington clubs only, but which has disappeared in the last few years. No one at the meeting could even remember who last won it let alone who might have it. That Venus Shield is a beauty though, if the O'Brien Shield can't be found then use the Venus Shield instead.
