Zoning....What's the Issue?
Lots of times on this forum the issue of zoning has arisen, some for, some against but rarely have logical reasons been given to support or dismiss it, so what are the pros and cons of zoning and is it a good or bad idea?
Should country areas be zoned to specific zoned clubs as in some other sports?
Which clubs would be disadvantaged by zones and why?
Would zones help stop poaching by clubs?
Wouldn't it simplify the transfer process by making it a residential transfer only?( that is players and parents would have to work harder to resolve issues at the club level rather than transfer out).
Would it encourage more clubs to
make more of an effort in their zoned country areas?
Do any of the other states zone?
Why do many see zoning as a negative idea, I'm sure there's plenty of reasons why not to zone , what are they?
