This is the million dollar question. There isn’t a regular flow of teams into the higher divisions anymore. Hunters, Waverley and Mountains have done it and are at the top of there cycles but what happens like all clubs when we see a decline in these clubs cycles?
Hence my push to max out clubs at 3 Grades + Colts. And Premier Clubs at 3 Grades + U20 + U19.
In a situation where you've worked to get the top 3 Divisions able to do that, I believe it helps even out the cycles of rise and fall.
It would also allow a more defined way forward into promotion and relegation - I don't have to fear adding a team or losing one if I get moved.
