del capo 236 Report post Posted August 7, 2019 Six strong expressions of interest to date but full applications yet to be lodged in the format required by NCL. It is accepted some current members do not now meet all of the previous criteria (they are being pushed ) but unlikely that any new applicants will be accepted without them given the desire from so many to join for whatever reasons...

Being pushed as in pushed to up their standards to meet the criteria, or pushed as in pushed out of the league? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine pushed to meet the standards. They wont push them out the league as long as they fulfill fixtures which everyone has Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Smeaton 15 Report post Posted August 17, 2019 I have heard today from two different clubs that next year there is to be another division. The bottom four teams in division three will drop down. Is this a rumour or is it being discussed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you will find that the criteria isn’t has demanding now. This season I have visited two new venues and the walk from the dressing rooms to the pitch is outrageous. Alfred Wainwright didn’t walk that far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's certainly unique,but at least it has facilities on site which more than a few clubs don't have,but there is no doubt standards for acceptance to the NCL seems to be lower these days.

NCL for me should be 2 leagues and everyone else strengthening the regional leagues which are knackered right now due in my opinion to the huge standard gaps in a division because of any Tom Dick or Harry being in the NCL Teams travelling with 11 men and their opponents taking players off at half tome to even the game up or teams scoring 80+ points against a bare 13 with 3 fat guys aged 50 from the masters team making the numbers up is not what the NCL should be about 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they get in as I think it would be good for Allerdale to have a presence in the NCLK It would be good for Cumbria not just Allerdale, hopefully lifting the standard of the game.
