I much prefer to participate at a local club level

For me, this is the biggest problem with our club, (MCSC) at the moment. When a few of the boys got together to start HASK, Melbourne Croatia remained number one.
This is where people (not pointing fingers as I don't begrudge anyone not going to games anymore) get blinded by the problems of their little clubs at hand, such as who will cook the barbeque on Saturday, who will work in the bar etc.
Melbourne Croatia has got to the stage now where people need to worry about who will cook the barbeques, man the ticket boxes etc. It's not the NSL anymore where we have a decent income and we can pay people to do these things.
The little clubs are to blaim for this problem,but originally it was Melbourne Croatia's fault for forcing people to start these small clubs...It's a gilt-edged sword.
