Automatic promo again next year with the 2012 season format to be reviewed by Mainland. Most of the MPL clubs I think are more into the playoff format and as Mainland are always going on about improving the game, what do they do if the winner of Div 1 is a crap team in a crap league?
Mainland Football should sort out the PDL league and go back to a MPL Reserve League with the teams in Div 1 having a their own reserve section or play those teams in what they should be in in Div 2.
Better for the people wanting to watch afew games on a Saturday at the one park without driving all over town to follow a clubs top teams.
Can't Mainland Football see it would be easier alround?
This won't happen because Alan Walker and others at Mainland want to have a team of 19/20 year olds playing Reserve [NO it's PDL] football and they want to give every club that wants to enter the PDL league no matter how bad they maybe a chance to get thrashed by the likes of Tech or Western. go figure.

PDL/Reserve league seems to get younger and younger, that mainland academy team was U/16?
Mainland might as well put the 6 secondary schools 1st XIs that play saturdays into PDL and scrap 18 div 1 in its current format. most of the clubs skip 18s so in order to develop all young players equally its surely a wise and fair move for all...
