GG Mooting an idea on this forum is not a claim of ownership of the idea! A number of clubs have wished for a travelling league to be reformed since its dissolution in 1998 (from memory). However, without the backing and ownership of the travelling league by the governing body (salaried staff vs volunteers) this is unlikely to happen! Unless said clubs “EPL” it on their own! Although light at the end of a tunnel?

Any South Island league will be down to what clubs can find the money to be a part of one.
The big blocking vote has been Football South getting off there jackseys and putiing some ground work in with their clubs.
Mainland staff have been asking for meetings to get some ground work done. No point wasting time and money if Southern clubs don't want it or as in Cavershams case may not be able to afford to be in a SI comp.
Until we get an SIL we need to make the MPL stronger than four good teams and three or four also rans.
Saturday game. Nomads 2 goals down v Chch U with 10 mins to play. Win 3-2. Even Enguurland would'nt give up that lead in such a short time frame.
Nomads have been riding the lucky train for the last several weeks. Playing crap and still getting it done over very weak sides. I'm sure the Nomads 19s are playing a better brand of football and scoring goals.
CCL is between Nomads and Selwyn not giving up points to the lesser teams.
