Very Interesting Today On The Radio

[Stitch This]

No one is paid to play at Modbury Jets.

Really?

Yes, really. Well certainly not as far as I know anyway. Maybe someone's Dad is giving them extra pocket money.

I would have thought they'd need paying to play on that pudding of a pitch. Surprising as I know state league 2 players that are getting paid.[/quote]

It's a decent pitch, unless it rains or gets close to raining, or rains within a 100km radius, or someone nearby waters their garden, or someone uses their window washers on their car on Ladywood Road....

Now it's quite apparent - one bitter little biatch that no-one wants at their club.

A fair distribution of wages not a slave shop rip off .

That in itself proves your lack of knowledge of current reality. Yet somehow I think you will ignore this fact and continue on your tirade of idiocy for years to come. I guess I should be grateful you pissed off from Polonia in the early 70's and imparted your mental sickness on Hellas, Comets, Florina Man City O/35's etc since. Now we have Trung bung Nguyen coffee lined up for similar ridicule. Suggest sell all shares from there. BRAVO!

Question then?

What do you call forced signing of professional contracts but do not pay any wages?

That was Hellas in the 1970's.

This is the team you supposedly care so much about (in particular their coach and defence set up)? Make up your mind

It wouldn't if you had to pay to get in and it was funded by juniors' fees.

I've been enjoying the read of this thread but now realize that the hijacking of it has meant its been moved to the fantasy forum lounge and not local soccer. The monty python analagies were gold even if a little off track. For me 1000 for a u8 is mindboggling and parents would have to be pretty sure if the childs desire to learn cause at this age the lessons could only be about 20 or 30 minutes long before you lost their concentration.

[God is an Englishman]

One eastern suburbs club has just quoted $1,500 for an under 13's player.

[geoff9559]

There would have to be some serious benefits and virtually a guarantee of tangible improvement for 1500.....maybe there is a downpayment for securing a future senior position factored in? More than likely it is charged due to results which can differ if the coaching changes. And results might be a drawcard for some but night not reflect the training and development aspect.

My son is 4 and his coaches manage to keep them on track for an hour.
Yes they work hard to do it but they do it

[geoff9559]

Paul that is very impressive to keep a group of (how many) kids' attention for an hour.....especially at that age i would gave expected a massive drop off in attention at 40 minutes unless the last 20 or so is just a scratch match or shooting at goals. If they can do that each session and the kids are attentive then what they will absorb and learn will be significantly higher than a similar group who lose attention earlier which can only mean more positives for development in the future.

I remember Cobra's trying to get me to sign a contract for no money also, so I changed clubs. It was not the fact of money as I played elsewhere for free. It was about giving up control for nothing.

Campbelltown were charging $300 for Under 8's six years ago!

Now it's $1000 for Under 8's.

Can you explain why? Stick to the facts, if you can.

Based on inflation it should be less than $400. The standard has not improved in that timeframe.

Bravo bravo for the truth and facts being posted.

I still say it is a disgrace how the JPL has evolved.

What is the FFSA going to do about it?

Little Johnny wants to play but his parents are forced to eat minute noodles and Johnny too just to pay the $1,000 plus for him and his brother.

Think it may coincide with their senior position on the table.

At the other end, none of our junior money has gone into seniors this year. Have a look at where we finished up.

What has smoking got to do with junior football fees?

I think the implication was that there are worse things you can waste your money on.

It just seems a silly analogy.

So, clubs can charge as much as they want as long as the person spends money elsewhere. I can justify spending money on a beer, you can't justify a club charging $1,000 for an under 8.

[The Bluehearts]

Everyone has the right to choose not to pay it.

Correct, the same as when I go to a pub and the beer is too expensive. I vote with my feet.
