Junior cup final tonight

Post by SS Goal Keeper »

Junior cup finals tonight. I’ve just arrived at Valo Park to watch a mates lad play in the U12 cup final. To my surprise they are charging at the gate to get in!! To watch an U12 match. Just let me say that again, charging to watch an U12 match!! Money hungry FFSA is all I can think of. I hope the money at least goes into junior football . YEAH RIGHT

Hope you don’t go watch district basketball because every person has to pay to get into venue for every single match. Including a normal round match.

And here you only have to pay once a year and $5!

The U16 final was a farce. The Adelaide City JPL team are current playing in a tournament in Malaysia.

Not currently, didnt they leave on Cup final day.

Didnt there travel plans get changed late and had to travel a day earlier?

Shouldnt your commitment be for your affiliated competition first, and foremost?

You cant just change a whole event for one club.

Next time commit and respect your local competition.

Some FUTSAL finals charge as well, normally a gold coin donation but found that strange unless of course they are donating the money to charity

Is it true they communicated with the FFSA and asked for the final to be played earlier
