For school to be a club and have all he rights of a club, all they need to do is adhere to one simple reg, which is in shined in football all over the world.
“Allow players to transfer from one (school) club to any other of the player’s choice”, it is this reg that colleges refuse to play ball with.
It was for this reason that in the mid 2000’s that Wgtn College did not become a club, they refused transfers.They tried every trick in the book to get me and Graeme to back down on this particular reg.
How and why, the incompetent Capital Football administration at the time allow Wgtn College to to be given the status of club and not enforce its own rules. One never knows.
The club v college problem goes back to at least 1921 (Evening Post).
Lol Critter come off it fella. It was way back in your day that Wellington College got admitted to club competitions!
if i recall it was allowed to admit a team to play in the normal league because they laid a claim that the U19 comp (now collage only) did not have the standard to challenge there players and were given a dispensation because they had a recognised club to support there admission.
i think this was around the Chatham cup inclusion of all comers for the celebration of 75 years…..
i do not recall the AGM (clubs/stake holders) agreeing to make Wellington College a club but i am happy to be corrected with details provided to back it up that it was agreed.
i think it was done by the board formed under the federation rules that have now been classified by FIFA as non compliant to there new policy.
and what about OLE Academy ??????
what's the policy from CF there ????
