There are too many seasons when a lot of fans lose interest because their team has nothing to play for with a couple of matches to go. <br />The AFL style playoff system will make it more interesting because teams will want to finish as high as possible in the league as it will mean an easier passage to the championship in the post season. Even weaker clubs like Balestier, Sengkang, Woodlands can have a "relegation" battle to fight for the 8th and last playoff spot.monsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17331652.post-28467703952482468302010-01-04T10:35:22.612+08:002010-01-04T10:35:22.612+08:00Hi Pohui, I truly understand what you are saying. ...Hi Pohui, I truly understand what you are saying. But I really really see the potential in this. Look at the 4 clubs i want in... <br />DPMM- An established club with a larger fanbase than any other club in the s-league. Based in Brunei.<br /><br />HARIMAU MUDA- Run by the FAM. Premier League and sea games champs. Malaysians believe this team will bring back past glory. Based in Johor or Malacca probably.<br /><br />BEIJING GUOAN- 2009 CSL champs. Another established club which produced one or two players that are playing in Europe e.g Shao Jiayi. Has connections with Real Madrid and Ajax. Should be based in Queenstown Stadium. Lets hope they can attract the many Chinese nationals that are here in S'pore.<br /><br />YISHUN REDS- This is the only problem club i perceive. But i remember Sembawang Rangers with the passion it had and the young footballers it produced. The chairman looks serious and maybe they will influence some korean style football to young local players in the future.monsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17331652.post-45863373297353561642010-01-03T23:03:54.999+08:002010-01-03T23:03:54.999+08:00Hi "monster"...
I raised the question o...Hi "monster"...<br /><br />I raised the question over the selection criteria of the clubs in my 2005's review (http://www.bolasepako.com/2005/12/from-site-to-blog-logo-on-left.html).<br /><br />And take a look at the list of clubs come-and-go - Paya Lebar Punggol (merged with Sengkang Marine to form Sengkang Punggol after a season), Sporting Afrique, Liaoning Guangyuan, Dalian Shide Siwu, DPMM, etc.<br /><br />It's not about having a sizable league to fill up the league fixture, it's about the clubs' sustainability and how professional the league is run!<br /><br />Can fans identify with the new team based in the vicinity they're staying? something the existing clubs are struggling to do so, let alone these new entrants.<br /><br />Super Reds, for example on few occasions had been talking about setting up a fan club, so when is it going to fulfill?<br /><br />Before we can talk about some other plans and vision, we need to get to fix the loopholes (even though,I did suggested the "post-regular season playoff" to spice the league).Ko Po Huihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112077946426075479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17331652.post-73091358750869071372010-01-03T20:22:49.948+08:002010-01-03T20:22:49.948+08:00What I want- the 10 confirmed team PLUS Harimau Mu...What I want- the 10 confirmed team PLUS Harimau Muda, Beijing Guoan,Yishun Reds & DPMM.<br /><br />Yes, 14 teams playing 2 ROUNDS of football with the top 8 qualifying for post season AFL STYLE PLAYOFF SYSTEM(as mentioned by Pohui.<br /><br />If this happens this year I'm a happy man.monsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17331652.post-9519740618459289132010-01-03T20:18:12.083+08:002010-01-03T20:18:12.083+08:00I think the delay in finalizing the teams are due ...I think the delay in finalizing the teams are due to the last minute application from Harimau Muda team. I think the FAS are in favour of them joining our league, and they should too because not only are they a good side, they might rekindle some Malaysia Cup rivalry which will benefit the league. And not forgetting the exposure of the s-league brand/sponsors to the malaysian market. Remember, this team is currently the darling of malaysia after winning the gold medal at the sea games.monsternoreply@blogger.com
