Summer league anyone?

Maybe it was because I wanted to carry on straight away following last years Prestatyn Town success. Maybe it was the hangover from United's double triumph that left me wanting more. Maybe it was watching a tournament with no interest whatsoever with noone to support when they play in-gur-land. But there was something that made me really want to play this summer.
The arguments for and against have been debated on forums, on the terraces and in the clubhouses as the idea of a summer league to replace the WPL has slowly gathered speed.
After having nothing to do for the past couple of months I admit now that I've become a fan of the idea. Rhyl's Marc Lloyd-Williams spoke recently of the advantages Bohemians had ahead of Rhyl in terms of fitness through already being half way through their season and its obvious that if welsh clubs want to progress further in European competitions they need to give themselves more of a chance against foreign teams.
I personally enjoy playing in the summer, many lads don't, but for me its a welcome break from blustery conditions on boggy pitches and freezing temperatures. I feel a summer league will produce better attendances, better coverage and better football.
Would more supporters turn up to a game where they can enjoy the game without the fear of hypothermia? I'm not saying conditions at this present moment in time are fantastic, but certainly better than in winter. One mate of mine mentioned clashes with the World Cup and other tournaments but that would only last for a month at most.
Attendances would improve because those who have season tickets for clubs in the north west and cannot attend local games would do so if they had the opportunity during the summer.
The quality of football would improve I believe because the state of the pitches would be in better condition and more indusive to passing football on the ground. There would be the possibility of attracting players from the English leagues on a loan basis during the post season and if the quality of football improved then the coverage of the game would perhaps improve especially during the months where sport channels struggle to fill their schedules.
I know there are strong arguments against such a move but what I'm saying is that before we dismiss it we take the time to look at whether it can benefit the game in Wales both as a premier league and for teams competing in Europe.
A summer league maybe a big step but could well be a much needed step in the right direction for welsh football.
