The prem reserve league is rather large! 15 teams!
Yep. Another monster from Mainland, an absolute load of bollocks that lacks critical thinking. Expect to see some absolute hidings dished out this year. And they call it the Player Developmen League. Ludicrous.
At the pre-season Premier League meeting when the subject of the Reserve League came up Mainland wouldn't even let it be discussed. Not a single Premier League club supports it.
Similar to their decision making around Coastal's application to have a team in Men's Div 2. Turned down even though there are 3 FC2011 teams in that grade and none of them want to drop out.
Didn't know that!? What were they thinking! I'm guessing they will split the pdl league like they did last year. Agree with you re the thrashings. We played selwyn last season and pasted them because they are a new club and just finding their feet. Pretty discouraging for their lads to train twice a week knowing that they will be on the end of a pasting every sat. Do you guys play or just spectate?
I particularly like the way they call it the "Player Development League" then throw a bye in there 
. Great for a players development to have a weekend off footy! Such nonsense. The only way there should be a bye in any competition is in the very bottom league. This is not rocket science ffs.
