Tim Tam Kiwifan Why further dilute the standard of the league with 10 teams. It needs to be strengthened by playing good opposition each week. Why not follow a previously tried and tested model and make the top division a travelling league? Little representation from the SI in the All Whites last night! Regional rivalry can only improve the standard of football. 

Sorry World Cup Willie, some on here think improving a league means waiting for the Waimak and Selwyn tweenagers to catch up to make the very average standard of the league suddenly shiny and lovely. (If you aren't an avid reader of the WPL thread, I've proposed exactly the same idea - a traveling league - only the need is more urgent in the womens game).
