WPL INCEPTION - DEVELOPMENT
· WFA had to form league or risk lose international status
· Formation of League badly managed
· Alienations of clubs – court procedures (Newport) forced clubs
· WFA had little or no interest in League or its progression
MEDIA PERCEPTION
· Poor beginning didn’t help
· No ‘result service’ midweek
· Swansea/ Cardiff / Newport / Wrexham England …… destabilises League
· WFA continued insistence of clubs playing in Welsh Cup
PLAYERS / MANAGER PROGRESSION
· Coaching courses second-to-none
· Players …… many have gone on to play in football league
· Clubs – community-based …. very positive
INFRASTRUCTURE – PYRAMID SYSTEM
· Grounds – lots of work to do …. playing surface
