And what would the issue be with that??

I don't know the answer but to those out there in club land, how are the junior fees for migrant eg African, Asian paid? There are many out there and some with real quality. Do clubs forgo fees and the slack made up by paying juniors. Mate they should pay their fees like everyone else and most of t...

Shoot goal My first pair of boots bought in 1968 were Adidas leather. Bought from a Sports Store in the city of Adelaide on the corner of King William Street and Grenfell St. CIBO is there now. My second pair were from Kmart at Kurralta Park. After that I use to buy my boots from Bailletti from sav...

They should have listened to me years ago?

Agree .. then we wouldn't have had to listen to you for years !

Personally cant see the issue with juniors funding seniors if that happens to any extent .. yeah clubs should be about developing players but at the end of the day it is the senior first team that the club is about and where the kids would be aspiring to be ... assume it takes a lot of $$ to keep su...

There is no reason why it couldn't work and there is no application you simply rise as high as the club in question wants to fight to be. If that means an Adelaide Victory or a Gawler Eagles get relegated and they eventually end up in say Div 45or6 so be it. Lets remember Huddersfield town were not...

Not disclosing anything on here and nothing to do with me personally but there is access to some very high profile people

FFSA are about to be sued out of existence and their corruption, incompetence and maladministration is about to explode on the national stage ..... You been talking with Colossus again? And/or his attorneys? :wink: There's a lot more serious issues for FFSA than that ..enough to have a Barrister sh...

FFSA are about to be sued out of existence and their corruption, incompetence and maladministration is about to explode on the national stage .....

Was chatting with a sports lawyer recently and his comment re FFSA was that they " have no regard to the law" so any dealings with them will not result in lawful outcomes ..

But Australia has followed the famed Dutch system for the last 8 years or so !!!!!

Funny how Australia are Shiraz and the Dutch probably wont even make the World Cup !!

Shoot goal Scrap any salary cap. Force clubs to run seperate legal entities for senior and junior club set ups Ban JPL funding going to JPL or senior set up. Properly audit these structures. Had forgotten just how nuts JD is until I had a look at this FN section!!! Has reminded me I still haven't y...

So I admit I haven't spoken to EVERY SAASL club but the few I have are voting NO. What will a NO Vote mean? All over never to be spoken about again or more information to clubs and a revote down the track? If the clubs vote NO - Can the SAASL committee overturn this and say YES? What is the general...

wonder what WA would do if the opposing team didn't have an away kit or forgot it ... oh we know that answer Have to say from what I have seen WA would have to be one of the most accommodating clubs when it comes to meeting other clubs requests in the junior leagues so think the inference you are m...

Time for a merger and large scale clean up - .... FFSA have the balls to hit hard ... SAASL have the coin and club numbers to make a strong league association.

Shoot goal It does not matter how you try to ratify the final series but it is worthless . Waste of time. Low prize money. The League is worth more but still not in prize money levels. If more people went to and paid to watch a game there may be more money in the clubs and FFSAs coffers to increase...

The FFA Cup comp would allow the "whose better" Div 1 SAASL team v Fed teams debate to be put to the test!!

Didn't even know they were "coming to town" till I read it on here ..

I wonder how many teams will be caught out on the cup weekend by playing cup tied players. The rules state that players can only play for one team irrespective of age group. I’ve already seen on occasions this season players playing for younger sides that then turn out in the match afterwards for a...

Shoot goal What a perfect ego model. And this is not the 1970's Skyhooks Hit. Get money from paying junior parents to fund the senior side and coach to try win a championship which has low prize money to fuel egos who control these shows. Perfect model no risk to the administration of these clubs. ...

So it looks like we have another situation where a team was promoted but dont have a reserve side. Saturday Div 3 again. The stupidity is laughable. We at Budapest asked to be relegated to Div 5 as were not going to be in a position to field a Reserves team .. instead we found ourselves promoted to...

A competition funded by junior fees in essence a disgrace .

JD .. how then would the competition be funded?

Going by the tipping Modbury Vista could do with a good keeper!!

For those people that have emailed me asking about the Under 18s Coach LEWIS VALLELONGA age 23 Lewis was picked up in Adelaide as a professional player at aged 10, he relocated to England to pursue his playing career and was signed by Hull City.

Shoot goal I might be posting on FN under my real name from August 2000 but I do get around under stealth observing sport and events in Adelaide Town and I know what I am talking about , Let's make South Australia Great again?

Shoot goal What wah2 needs to do on their website in the history section is acknowledge the forefathers of parkb27 and me. That is the true history of wah2. Wah2 is not Wah original and never will be fact. When this mindset changes then the clubs karma might reach better heights. If WA2 is not WA1 ...

Regardless of whether it's West Adelaide, Adelaide City, the bottom team from State League 2 or your mate's O35s side, any mention of any NPL or SL team in the paper is a WIN.
