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
