And completely opening up the pyramid which wasn’t the case when “npl” first started and still isn’t really the case in other states. Granted vic being smaller the other mainland states probably helped with the logistics of it.We have 3 teams go down in a 14 team league competition and a top 6 finals format. It has kept interest in all parts of the league ladder.
It’s one of the few things that Football Victoria has done well.
Said it once and will say to again, so many great little clubs trapped in the lower leagues of nsw, often times ones with more substance and character and more ability to generate interest/crowds than the ones in npl 1
