12 games is bullshit. 14 games isn't enough either, how do you promote the games when most teams preseason training lasts LONGER than the league?!.To be fair @Eireogatron the senior and intermediate only have 14 rounds so there's not a massive difference based on what @The Sideline Eye has posted. I was actually concerned that it was maybe half the way you were describing it and the sympathy levels were up. Even considered a boycott. Wasn't gonna go to half the games!!
You say it's not much of a difference, it's 15% between junior and sen/inter. It's a 30+% difference on last year's junior League and if you go back 7 years it's a 46% reduction on the number of games in the 3 leagues. So yes, it is significant. Additionally some junior matches could be 13 a side this year.
HereWeGoAgain also raises a great point, the u19 games are all Fri/Sat/Sun now whereas minor was Mondays. So not only is it going to put a strain on them with senior commitments, they are also competing with soccer, weekend work etc as well. We are actively hamstringing ourselves here.
IMO of course..
