I've noticed a lot more discussion in NPL game threads, and the Aus Cup involving NPL teams. I think in the past forums like IS and 442 had reduced traffic in a supposed off season in Aus in between AL seasons.
Sadly, I rarely watch any AL football live, now WSW have stopped playing games in Tas, but I get to watch plenty of Tas NPL games live. I'm hoping the interest in NPL games will continue to grow. Again I thank Beretta for starting the NPL thread.
If approached in person, I see huge potential for the Fan View section, where new posters can write articles about their own clubs they follow, or play for. Once they do this, they should attract more fans and players from their own NPL and suburban clubs who want to read those articles on a national forum.
Also, on the G and G podcast recently featuring Tom Byer, he is a pretty big name in world football, particularly in coaching circles and those in the loop. His status has increased because Japan has improved so much. Having Tom Byer on a G and G podcast is a big feather in the cap for this forum.
