In response to the clubs' concerns about promotion and relegation and other issues concerning the running of the winter league, the FFV have promised a full review of the status of promotion and relegation of next year's 12-team VPL.

The FFV however appears likely to pursue their plan for a summer league based on zones in Melbourne.

Elsewhere at state level, Football NSW has assured au.fourfourtwo.com that there will be a tribunal in the coming weeks to address serious allegations raised against a high ranking FNSW official arising out of a game in late July.

The Federation did not give a date for the hearing but said it would be independent and both sides would be given a chance to present their cases.
