Kramd, why not get off your spectator seat then and help, you seem to have the right passion. Easy to sit by and let everyone else do the work, as we are so large our resources are stretched as they are, building new facilities in the middle of the last two seasons didnt help with the allocation of...

With all due respect, the players that moved from Colts in 2009 was more by chance (and most probably just weight of numbers) rather than any programme of transition from Juniors to Seniors. I can say with some certainty that there was minimal involvement between the E&D and SAASL teams at TTG ...

Just one last question Swanny.

How many colts (or players straight from E&D) have the Downs had in the First Team in the last 3 years? And maybe not even just the Downs any Amateur team with E&D Juniors. I think you will find the list I wrote earlier would be hard to beat by any club recently

Alan Mottram - 15 - Left the Downs and went to Saisbury Andy Thompson - 15 Left the Downs and went to APAC then onto Campbeltown and Modbury Dave Swann - 16 Juy Foreman - 16 - Went to Apac and Elizabeth City Nick Swann - 16 Andy Hutchins - 16 Paul Hudson - 16 Neil Edwards - 17 ? Colin Smith - 17 plu...

in div 3 OXYGEN THIEF WHY IS IT EVERY TIME TTG IS MENTIONED IN A POST YOU SLUR? Despite your outburst LRO....DOC's comment wasn't a slur...it was a comment. Have a laugh along with people sometimes...it's good for the soul. The issue for Gully is to bridge the gap between its Juniors and its Senior...

The fact that TTG is by far the largest and most successful junior club in its association speaks volumes for the strategies employed at the junior level . modbury vista would have something to say about that[/quote] Yes they want to know how to fit over 500 Juniors on 1 crap pitch, never in a mill...

But like I wrote to Aldo, hopefully all these rumours will take the edge off an Ivan Zafran preseason!!!.... [/quote]

Ivan's pre season???? He will turn up for round 1 mate the rest is up to you! Ha Ha Just kidding, Ivan wont do much of a pre season, great coach though.

Im thinking TESTIMONIAL!!!! Surley there can be some sort of fairwell for Del Boy. A bit like this is your life would be great!

Congratulations Del Boy! Fantastic Trainer, Fantastic Bloke, he certainly helped me when I was at Gardens!

Good on Lenny for getting the ressies job. Nice guy and good coach. I bet he is happy he doesnt have to travel as far to training!

Congrats Neil, good luck for the season.

You have caught me out!

Im Just stirring Nuggett, he is passionate and loves the Gardens. his best posts are after 1am though!

Andy I'd say 90% of players have already committed to play for clubs in 2011 & I'd also say 90% of those players will play for those clubs that thet have committed too... 90% would be a bit High! But maybe your right BUT Players word normally gets swayed when $$$$ start getting thrown around. Y...

3rd December & the VALE are the only 1st Div. Club not to have appointed a Senior Coach? All of the other Clubs Coaches have been appointed & have already spoken to players about next season & have commitments from those players. I think the late appointment of the Coach wont do the VAL...

The Vale advertised in the Messenger this week. Applications close 30th November i think, so hopefully coach will be announced by middle of December at latest. Hey Ginger, what happened to Chris? I also heard Westerveldt had applied (Or shown interest) the advert was open for 6 days, I take it from...

And Andy that was maybe a PM mate... No need for that publically...[/quote]

I actually read the post wrong, it wasnt written by Brad so I do apologise. I wasnt slurring in the post though.

Deleted by LRO; sorry Brad, my mistake! Check your PM

Considering we have only been in Div 1 for 4 years, he has done an amazing job. The first year we were picked to get relegated and we finished 2nd. Since then we have finished 3rd for 3 years. In that time, we reached our first ever cup final and won, the reserves continue to win trophies and the cl...

Just give the medals to Gardens and everyone can have that weekend off!! Ha Ha Just getting in before Nugget

Has Nugget been re-appointed as club jester? :wink: Bomber for someone with there finger on the pulse for most soccer things in Adelaide I thought you would know Nugget has a lifetime contract for that job! :wink: Nugget Rocks i think he is great for Gardens and Soccer in SA. He is a really nice gu...

Good to see Steve Reappointed, good luck to Gardens going for Back to Back!

Jogger you are smoking something heavy if thats your outlook on it. Whatever targets were set I am sure finishing 4th and making the Semi's of the cup would have been seen as a good achivement. ( of course Winning the League would have been the piority ). Considering the number of new players broug...
