Apparently there are quite a few clubs who apply every year to GCL and get knocked back (Syd United for one). The suggestion of NPL3 (with seniors) is a good one (and brings us back full circle to where we where before they got rid of state league). FNSW should be embarrassed what they did to the women’s competition!! GCL offers no option for promotion without seniors as mentioned and is like dropping off a cliff for the 17’s who have little choice but to go back to club land!! Bring in a 19’s and then a First Grade in a year or two and have proper promotion/relegation!! The women's advisory committee (which recommends comp structure to the board who then rubber stamp it) is dominated by representatives from PL1 and PL2 clubs. By removing seniors from the third tier they ensured their club would never be relegated.

Apparently many of the girls that were there week 1 did not return, but there were quite a few new ones. The only fitness work was a 50m timed sprint.

I believe the letter is one of desperation and trying to influence and justify the association's decision.
It is very poor form to subsidise representative players at the cost of grass roots players. There is a reason why FNSW recommends fee structures for their competitions and has been assessed by the experts to cover the costs.
In my opinion, based on past season's fees being $1500 from what seems to be the norm, grass roots players are likely to be footing a subsidised cost of around $120k unless specific sponsors are obtained to cover these costs.

Or the $200k from the NSW Government My Community Project is being used to help fund this?

Crazy - i think you will find that each electorate was awarded a sum of money of around $200k which was then to be used for around a dozen projects.
I also recall on the HF website they stated clearly when asking people to vote for their grant option that if they were lucky enough to receive a grant the money would be used for young children aged 3 - 5 year old in child care centre programs and also Football for All programs to help football for all players integrate into club football.

Despite five pages of forum replies and the info from Hills, I am still trying to work out the purpose of AYL. Is it to try and reduce the quality of the Hills association Div 1 comp? If local grassroots clubs are now going to be losing their best players to another layer of an already cluttered youth rep football landscape, what incentive is there for grassroots clubs to invest in coach education and player development. Surely investment into local community clubs by the association would be more beneficial than another layer of rep football.

Macduff ... I think that you need to nominate yourself for the Hills Board ore even the FFA so that you can bring some sense to these clowns.

I think most of us on this thread are fully aligned with and agree with macduff's comments.
Me thinks what has happened has been without consultation with member clubs and a display of no experience, competency or understanding from all reports.
