Why? If they had sense, they should be stopping.

Why? It's very well controlled. Much better than the schools.

I still struggle to get my head around the idea of Little Leyton Orient being considered “Elite”, and chuckle at the idea of the NLS/NLN being considered likewise.

At what level of football does it stop being elite. Some of the crap we saw in the National league was awful. I don't think you could make an argument for anything below that level and the National league is pushing it IMO.

Don't think it's the people playing per se just the hangers on that they don't want. I'd love to see my daughter carry on her football training but while the kids are playing the parents are just standing around talking in big groups for an hour or so.
