[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO the problem with play ups is it leads to clubs having weaker teams sometimes every other year. Example - Vienna has a strong(ish) 2008 team. It has the strongest 2009's playing up on it. All of the strong 2008's have stayed put because the 2007 team loses all the time. However, this has left the 2009 team struggling too. So they have one strong team flanked by 2 weaker teams. Although it may be best for those 3 players, it has created a hole in the 2009 age group and its not in the best interest of the club as a whole.[/quote]

It all depends on the priority. If I am the parent of one of the 2009 play ups, I am probably more interested in my players development and challenges than the 2009 team. I don't have a significant interest in the 2007 or 2009 team. they are just coincidental. As for the club overall record... who cares? Does anyone outside of FCV talk about overall club records? Good on Vienna for taking on individual challenges rather than propping up the 2009 team. The 2008s on the team that don't want to play with the 2007s, eh... looks like they aren't that into taking on challenges. Maybe they know they aren't good enough to actually make a difference to the record. That's a decision. Sounds more like a rec decision, but hey, that's ok.[/quote]
