FFSA is dreaming.

Might as well sell it to overseas interests now?

We will go support the saasl they have cash.

[Tzon]

If that was the case then Federal Government would not be financing any sports where the clubs did not own their own land, which of course, they do. SANFL clubs do not own their facilities as well, it council owned.

Understand.

Think of it this way.
Govt gives of sells land to developers at interesting prices to build new communities eg have a look right here in Adelaide & Hills.
Before Master Plans are formulated in the good old days church groups, sports groups etc had say about getting land at fair to peppercorn rates to put on social capital infrastructure .
What is different today?

We learnt how to control the ball by playing on grounds like ParkB27, muddy Polonia Reserve, poor lighting at Hindmarsh, water logged Lockleys Reserve, streets, parks, backyards, etc etc

It would be appreciated for civil purposes to stop being silly by saying things like the kids menu at the casino when children are not allowed in there drrrrrrrr.

I have credence on here because just look at the statistics ? Been on here since August 2000.

I will give you another example apart from social capital being the Govt providing parks, sports grounds and facilities.
Eg: Vacant land to build houses?
The govt does not provide appropriate infrastructure so developers are forced to do so and pass on the cost on the high price of the land .
In the old days the Govt supplied appropriate infrastructure and land was cheaper .

The same is happening with sport .
The Govt is way behind supplying sports grounds for the community so eg soccer clubs are forced to pay high fees to use the limited supply of them.

And my 92 year old Aunty was a communist fighter in the Greek civil war.
She lives in Northern Greece.
I met her recently again and she was telling me the old Greek civil war stories.

Apparently the British were bombing the northern Greek mountains with nephan bombs in the mid 1940's way before they were used in Vietnam. To try flush out the communist guerrillas living in the mountains near Florina.
These communist fighters were heros defeating the Italians and then the Germans out of Greece in WW 2 promised seats in the new post WW2 Greek govt. Churchill did not like this thus the Greek civil war started . A disgrace manoeuvre by the British .
30,000 communist Greeks ended up in Russia later many returned back to Greece in the 1980's when the first socialist Greek govt was elected after WW2 PASOK.
My Aunty was one of these WW2 Greek heros the British humiliated a disgrace.
God bless my Aunty .

You're auntie sounds like a slag who loved russian grenache

I was waiting for you to react like that Englishman.

Out of respect to the heros who put their lives on the line I stated a little history.

There is more to history than a one eyed British version.

Cont:
The Hellas fighters in the Northern Mountains of Greece had served Greece and The Allies in pushing the German and Italian armies back. After this they had strategic positions in the Balkans. All they wanted was seats in the new Post WW2 Greek Parliament. To help build Greece back up after years of Nazi occupation.
My Aunty said approx a force of 30,000 fully armed Hellas fighters marched from Northern Greece to Athens to negotiate seats in the new Parliament. My Aunty was one. Churchill as a bluff sent warships outside Athens. These Hellas fighters did not want confrontation or having street warfare in Athens the symble of democracy.
So they ended up marching back to northern Greece then into Albania where Russian war ships picked them up and offered them residency in Soviet Russia.
A large left wing Greek community from Northern Greece ended up in Tashkent Uzbekistan. Most of these ended up starting their families there.
When PASOK the first left wing Greek Govt got elected in the 1980's these Greeks were allowed back into Greece. Many have Russian pensions that have helped the Greek economy for over three decades now.
After WW2 Greece needed these young Hellss fighters to help build Greece back after years of Nazi occupation. However their political views were not wanted in Parliament. Later more youth of all political persuasions left Greece because the economy was left with little help from the west. This started the despora out of Greece . In the north of Greece many places had no electricity and food was not plentiful .
This second wave of despora ended up in countries like Australia and helped build the economy of these countries instead of home land Greece.
I am the first generation here in Australia of the young despora from northern Greece.

Cont:

What Greece needed after the Greek Civil war was not British right wing propiganda but the Wests assistance to form a democratic new Greek Parliament with the right and left wing together.
The youth of Post World War 2 Greece left in droves or exiled to the detriment of the country.
They ended up building other countries economies and that is a big reason Greece is used up for other countries gain.

If your auntie was such a hero she would have defended her country better against the germans rather than waiting for the English to save them. Maybe she just liked german grenache as well.

I suggest Englishman to read a more open eyed history on the Greek Civil War?
Not just the English propiganda at the time.
Also the significance of the Bosphorus sea between Greece and Turkey?
Before making your out bursts.

Cont:

Correction.
The papers are still closed under secret in the uk.

The British did promise the Hellas fighters they would be looked after for assisting them to expel the Italians and Germans from northern Greece in WW2.
This did not come, it ended up being a broken promise because they asked for seats in the new Greek Parliament after WW2.
The Russians were never going to invade Greece this was British propiganda to try stop the Russians from using the Bospheras.
This also happened after WW1 with Britain sucking in Greece to over extend itself into Turkey thus the west loosing Constantinople.
Later Britain leaves a mess in Palestine.

I was having coffee at West Lakes last weekend with some very knowledgable past players of the game.
At CIBO Central.
Now that's a plug.
Ask yourself where their coffee comes from?
You will be surprised?

These guys were a good standard of player in the 1970 to 1980 period.

The topic was junior players and high junior fees and how clubs are funding from this source.

One guy said I can watch a bnch of young players play and can tell who is going to make it to a higher league. Or has the potential to if given a go.

I said so can I .

Clubs should be conveying this early on the road instead of milking these children for dollars on a false hope.
