Le Tissier is confident in the future of the GFA leagues

New GFA Chairman Mark Le Tissier is confident the body will attract teams back to their leagues next season.

The resignation of the Chairman and the split of the Social Leagues from the GFA followed the introduction of the controversial four-year plan.

Le Tissier said bringing the teams back depends on them getting it right.

"This season is now set up. We're really looking forward to next season. We need to get our product right to attract these teams back," he said.

"I'm pretty confident we will be able to attract teams back to play in GFA football - and we will get our product right."

Le Tissier would not be drawn on what those changes would be as they are to be discussed over a period of six to nine months.

But he said that areas they were going to look at included how players in those leagues are registered and the charges the GFA make.

Ahead of the start of the 2008/09 season, which kicks off on Tuesday, Le Tissier said: "It really is going to be unknown, as to how it is really going to pan out now.

"It will take a few months for the players to understand and realise quite the implications of the development league."

In the first game of the season 2007's Priaulx League Champions, Belgrave Wanderers, face the FA Cup winners, Northerners, in the annual curtain raiser, the Frederick Martinez Cup at the Cycling Ground from 1930 BST.
