> Some of you may have seen in today's Courier Mail that Mitchelton FC have applied to be a part of the APL (Australian Premier League) for the 2013 season and beyond. This decision came about after discussions between FQ (Football Queensland) and our senior coaching staff over the last 2 weeks. The committee believe the structure of the APL is the way forward and that whether we become a senior and/or junior APL club, or indeed a feeder club for another APL club, that we will support the FFA and FQ in their restructuring process.
>
> In short, the APL is simply a 12 team State League with the winner of the senior mens playing off against the winners of other State Leagues. Only the senior mens team will travel (to Mackay/Townsville/Cairns etc) while the U12 - U18 teams will be playing mainly in Brisbane with once a year trips to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. This type of travel (to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts) would only be for the top squads (APL squads) in each age group, with the lower divisions (BJL, Div 1, Div 2 etc) being exactly the same as they are now. Travel costs for the senior mens team are to be capped by FQ at $10000 per year.
>
> If our APL bid is successful ,FQ is prepared to put $40000 per annum towards a TD (Technical Director) to work with the entire club - all age levels and all skill levels to better the club as a whole. The bid process has not come at any financial cost to the club - just a lot of hard work and many hours spent by coaching staff and committee members.
>
> There is still obviously a lot of uncertainty about 2013 throughout the whole football community, and our club is no exception. I will be at the club on Friday night during the Over 35s CUp Final to happily discuss any questions you may have. Also feel free to email me at rog...@bigpond.com or phone me on 0402284111. I will return calls as soon as I can.
