April 30 deadline for Pro League hopefuls.
« on: April 10, 2014, 02:09:32 AM »
April 30 deadline for Pro League hopefuls.
T&T Newsday Reports.


A DEADLINE date of April 30 has been set for teams keen to participate in the 2014-2015 season of the TT Pro League.

In a newspaper advertisement yesterday, it was stated that “the Board of Directors of the TT Pro League wishes to advise that it is presently considering applications for entry.”

There are nine teams featuring in the 2013-2014 season — leaders W Connection, reigning champs Defence Force, Point Fortin Civic FC, Central FC, North East Stars, Caledonia AIA, Police FC, San Juan Jabloteh and St Ann’s Rangers.

The advertisement noted, “the Board wishes to inform clubs seeking entry into the League for the 2014-2015 season that the deadline for applications is on or before 3 pm on April 30.”

Persons seeking additional information can call the League’s office at 645-4489 or 662-5210, or via e-mail to admin@ttproleague.com.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Lets hope some teams with the quality and support of Point Fortin apply! Guaya and Sando seem like natural candidates to me

In an ideal world those 2 would be prime candidates for the proleague. But the reality is, unless they have good fanacial structure for a 4 year run, I don't see them playing in the league.

Big investment! But even at that rate you'd need more fans than we have  at your average game... I'd have suggest something like at Charlton with Valley Gold -  for £50/£100 you give money towards the youth set-up and have a chance at winning a lottery at every game, as well as priority tickets for certain games - but of course again we need numbers for that to give the desired results.

Can't get supporters to pay US$40 for a season ticket! But I like the idea of private investors but there is no prestige in club ownership here. It could come, if clubs can begin to attract transfer fees, but I feel it may just be for one or two fat cats!

That's the sad thing - we need to mobilise the Trinbagonian public before we can make this sustainable

Anyone know if any new teams joined up?
