[QUOTE="-JJ-, post: 7460"] To be honest it's been rather quiet. I listen to Radiosport (the main sport station) quite often and there hasn't been too many problems. I'm sure if one team truly showed they were above the rest in the second division they might be given the chance to make it into the Premier League. There would probably only be one team this might happen to in the forseeable future, Counties Manakau (assuming that Hawkes Bay and Nelsons Bays/Marlborough make it into the Premier League). They were in the First Division until quite recently, and with the amount of young Polynesian players in their area could rise again. I don't really know if there won't be a promotion relegation match any more, but the gap between first division and second division at the moment is already huge, and surely when the first division becomes professional and the 2nd division isn't, the gap will get bigger making pointless to have this promotion relegation match. At the moment there is only one possibilty for two clubs joining, and they don't sound that upset about it, and they need to join to get above the population criteria. So yeah. The change isn't as big as the one that happened in Wales. [/QUOTE]
