All valid points to an extent, but outweighed by the reality that there will be fewer clubs on Saturday (in the absence of an FFSA SAASL merger), necessitating fewer leagues with more teams per league. Plenty of solutions that don't necessarily require 12 teams for all. While almost everyone likes ...

As we rapidly approach the end of the current season, and people frantically look at promotion and relegation spots, is it time to address the Elephant in the room, that of the dwindling numbers of teams on Saturdays. Currently we have Sat Div 1 - 10 teams Sat Div 2 - 10 teams Sat Div 3 - 8 teams Sa...

A Club official of Flinders Soccer Club who was just at SAASL headquarters to pick up some new player cards, has been told that they are only still processing rego's from last Wednesday ( 30th Feb) as such he left empty handed. He was told by the league that we are able to field any players for roun...

This from another thread.. but very relevant to this discussion. Surely the SAASL should have moved Budapest to single team Div and replaced them with a club like OISC! That is a poor decision I agree. I happen to know Budapest asked a while ago to be put in a lower division through lack of players....

My point is WHY should there be a NEED for any clubs to be in this position? Can you tell me you would be happy at your club to find out that a player you would be playing half the amount of games as the others , because the SAASL can't sort out the divisions properly :?: :?: It's 2 less games. 16 ...

With both Sat Div 3B and 4B both currently looking at a reduced number of games due to Clubs only having enough players for one team, is it time that the SAASL cracked down on teams and restructured the divisions properly :?: Clubs should not be allowed into two team divisions if they can't field t...

It appears it is Burundi Eagles and M.UNITED Stars who currently don't have reserve sides.

Once again the question has to be asked why the SAASL continue to admit teams in to 2 team divisions that can't actually field two teams

Is this not what single team Divisions are for

Prelim Cup draw is also up now!

Was told that Breakers had been asked if they wanted to stay Div 3 and that Hahndorf up to Div 2?

My mail has it that Hahndorf have already turned down the offer to go up.

If Breakers don't come down.. going to be a very light Div!

Sean at Strath wrote:Maybe Cove who finished 2nd bottom in div 3 will come down.

My understanding from players who were part of that team, is that the Cove Amateurs have folded.

Anyone, got any more news on this? Who the 8 teams might be?

Strath
Flinders
Sthn Breakers??
Chin??
Northern Wolves??
Aldinga Sharks??
Green Utd??

then one from Budapest or Adel Uni.

We use Team App http://teamapp.com/ to anounce squads and events and help track availability. It also has the option to sell merchandise and rego's through it but we havent got that far yet. So far it is easy to use and costs nothing which is great. Also has the ability to post live scores.

Is it true though you are only feilding one side.. no B's

Is there a mistake on the SAASL website or have 2 B's teams dropped out of the comp already? There are many mistakes on the fixtures, which teams? Currently it appears Southern Breakers and One Tree Hill have pulled out of the Reserves, meaning there are only 6 teams remaining :shock: Didn't think ...

maybe don't field so many teams then? Another internet genius :roll: We didn't say we were this year!! I Never mentioned at all how many teams were were entering this year, rather I pointed out that we are trying to make sure we have the strongest possible squads, who are comitted to playing the wh...

Over the past few seasons we have run up to 6 teams per season , so we have an ability spot for all levels. That's just plain greedy :D Good luck ! Yeah and then pull teams out with 3 weeks to go in the season and stuff up the league for everyone as you did for Sat Div 5. Thanks for those helpfull ...

I'm sure at Jonesy's club they must be turning away players!!



Ask around and everyone will tell you you can't have too many plaers at this point of the season!

Pre-season not what you expected?? Coach got some strange ideas??/Not putting you in the first team :wink: Don't get along with the guy who thinks he is Messi but can't pass, shoot or dribble?? It's not too late!! FLINDERS SOCCER CLUB is still looking for players! With our top side freshly promoted ...

Looking at the situation, it is not disimilar to the Bosna situation a few years back where you ended up with only 9 teams competing....in the end 1 team from Division 2 (plus Bosna who were suspended) were relegated and 2 came up from Division 3. Effectively Hahndorf finished 8th. in what began as...

We at Flinders have been caught out by the Saasl "tweaking" on a few occasions and again this year are affected. Our Div 4 side having finished third, are currently remaning in Div 4. Whilst Hahndorf who finished second bottom of Div 3 remain there, because of Hazara pulling out. This des...

Not a bad days football in the wet

Kick off was at the early times. Cobras Fed side was kicking off at 3pm against Comets, so this was one of the times when there would have been a clash!

Mind you didn't make it any easier getting out of bed to go play in the rain at 10:30am!

Shortend training then down to the Sponsers for some (Arm) weight training.
