Only 24 hours after Tumbarumba claimed the move would destroy its club, Cudgewa president Greg Hillier said the Blues "didn't want a bar" of a league merger.

Bullioh president Peter Dean, who is a member of the working party, said the reigning premier also had major issues with the recommendations including being overlooked to host matches.

The Corryong Recreation Reserve has been slated to host the majority of matches with Cudgewa securing "two or three" matches to avoid a clash with The Man from Snowy River Festival.

"I don't want a bar of it (TDFL), that's a personal thing, but I'm hearing it from our members as well," Hillier said.

"We want to keep the Upper Murray league going.

"The people who are going to miss out worries us.

'I've got absolutely no ambition to drive the other thing.

"We are not interested in the win-loss ratio or the standard, that's irreverent to us, but we are concerned about participation and our farmers because football and netball is often their only outlet."

Hillier believes the Upper Murray need four clubs to continue.

The most likely scenario for that to happen would be Corryong and Federal merging to play against Cudgewa, Bullioh and Tumbarumba.

Hillier also believes Bullioh has been dealt a harsh hand in the working party recommendations in regards to home matches.

"I think it's terrible what they have done to Bullioh," he said.

"I can totally understand why they are unhappy."

Bullioh has expressed its concerns to Towong Shire who have granted funds towards facilities at Bullioh.

Dean said the recommendations were unfair on clubs outside Corryong.

"I feel like I've had a bit of a conflict of interest as I'm a member of the working party but I also have to represent my footy club Bullioh and basically we have been left out," Dean said.

"The most disappointing thing is it's not being inclusive.

"That's a big part of the mantra.

"All the clubs aren't on board because they have been left out."

Dean believes Bullioh would have been able to assist in cutting down travel.

"We thought our ground could definitely have been utilised especially for games against clubs like Wahgunyah, Rutherglen and Chiltern," he said.

"The travel time from Wahgunyah to Corryong round trip is 340 kilometres which is the same distance to travel from Albury to Melbourne.

"Our volunteers, committee and ground and canteen staff would all work with the money going back to the merged entity.

"By excluding clubs already connected with the league they are reducing access to talent, resources and finances."

The league is taking community feedback until September 3.

AFLNEB has backed the formation of the working party to provide another option as the league continues to battle dwindling numbers.

The TDFL must approval an Upper Murray club's admission.
