NSL is more of a community league,Tony Harford who runs the NSL is a very intelligent man,on Fridays they have a ting called Friday nite Lime where there is a boule header with drinks ,food ,music and football,woman like peas!
This is the kind of thing you need.More people watch the NSL though it is not well marketed also but it feels more fan friendly.I think that the PFL needs a huge sponsor soon to really have the funds to market and get the public involved in the game.Co-operate T&T is very unwilling to sponsor anything,which I think is signs of a deeper socio-economic problem,I know as a fact that most places just dont care!
The NSL needs attention as it could be seen not as a 2nd tier but as a kinda........hard to explain,I am young but heard OF POSFL,SFA,SFL ect which the older heads on the board could expand on and I researched and realised that at peaks of the national teams 66,73,88-89 we had all these leagues were pulling massive crowds and had good football, I remember Gally saying he played in more than one league for the season.Could this be something to look at today?
I work in Point Lisas and often think the present small industrial league which exsist could be developed to be vibrant and it will be a crowd puller, that is another 100 players exposed to a decent level of ball.Yarra-Norway,Proman-Germany,PCS-Canada,Mittal-India,Farmland-US,Phoenix Gas,Plipdico,Atlas,Titan,you telling me Camps cyah find a way to tap into all that millions?Get some of the talent that does waste away out of the SSFL working some hours and training some you must get some gems along the way.
