My 2 cents on the league.
I really enjoyed it and thought that despite there being two relative easy-beats down the bottom, across the board each week anyone had a chance of beating anyone else. Compare this to the Women's Premier League (23 points between 1st and 2nd) and Div 1 (9 points in a 14 game season) it was pretty close in my book.
Yes pitches are bitches, however with little money in the game, and the council not really wanting to help out and work on the fields, we may just have to like it. I can totally understand the difference looking at Linfield vs ASBl, but, what to do?
My opinion on the make up of MPL next year is also casting an eye over Div 1. If we have noone interested in promotion, do we really relegate a team? But then, it makes the bottom of the league boring with no real incentive to keep playing. I totally agree with what AW82 said that if FC20 had been relegated then a 9 team (or more) would have been more popular in the 'upper circles' however that just makes it worse don't you think?
Will be interesting to see what the competitions review suggests in a few weeks!
