Wow you could afford Adidas boots back in the 70s.johndedes wrote: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 saved up lunch money.
As my first Adidas blue Track Suit, from Bailletti.
How much was your Track Suit nowadays that would be included in your feesjohndedes wrote:Shoot goal

I was lucky to have $10 boots back then.
J.D. used to cruise around his mum and dads shop in all his splendour with the best track suits known on the market, his finely groomed permed afro and of course trying not to spill soft serve ice cream on his brand new adidas track suit.....johndedes wrote:Shoot goal

Only answer is - install a salary cap for all seniors - no more than $50k a year but actually enforce it (good luck with that) and all juniors to wear hand-me-down strips on match day only and buy own shorts, socks, trackies etc like we had in the "good old JD days" - train once a week wherever you can find a patch of grass and do a lot of ground sharing.predrag wrote:Something definitely has to change with the fees,i had a lot of friends over the years whose children chose to play AFL,or girls netball over football(soccer) because of the massive fees.Basketball is in the same position also,if you want to play in a higher div team,you have to fork our for at least 2 interstate tournaments a year which will set you back around $2000!
You know what JD, there are club volunteers who basically run their health down, spend 30 hours a week volunteering at their club because only a handful of people want to help out, and you now want free playing fees.johndedes wrote:Shoot goal
Suggestion make children sports fees 200% tax deductible or free for concession card holder parents?

How is the bloody volunteer going to cover all the costs to put a player on the park.
Are Referees going to do it for free?
Is the council going to pay for all the electricity, water, waste costs?
Who is going to pay for uniforms?
How does a volunteer who has a full time job, go out and find $300,000 is sponsorship to cover all costs?
There are volunteers bleeding at clubs because no one else wants to help. they are first to criticise, and last to put up their hand to help. I have seen volunteers end up in hospital because they are run down stressed from running soccer clubs.
I cant believe you still live in lala land JD!
There are government concessions to support these types of players, along with grants by local councils and government.eagleboy wrote: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.
Sounds like most of my bills.johndedes wrote:....situation is already out of control.

Mate they should pay their fees like everyone else and most of them do - there is plenty of money provided them and as I mentioned have seen boys that haven't paid fees but still have $400+ Bootseagleboy wrote: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?
