Once again SANFL supporters being taken for a ride. Hate to see what the comp will be like in a few years, No wonder people are heading out the the Amateurs, bit of hard biff footy, cheap food and booze and some atmosphere.
So by going by this bleak post SA footy will be closing its doors
Or am I reading your gloom and doom the wrong way
Cause all the people or most of them that are saying gloom and doom do they actually go to sanfl games any more ?
Guess if one doesn't attend one shouldn't say it's dead could be dead maybe it is but if people keeping crying it's dead with out going how do they actually know ? Just asking .
Not trying to have an argument but if honestly how do people know first hand if they aren't at games .
Mate, its obvious, ive been a volunteer at my club, I was a member for 32 years and Id set up a few websites.
I and thousands of people like me became completely disenchanted when the Crows were allowed in, its a joke of a comp now.
Ive gone from attending every game and forking out thousands of dollars to my club each year to hardly going because of it and I know hundreds like me, looking at the crowd figures in recent years it amounts to thousands.
I go occassionally solely for the reason of catching up with mates and i see firsthand how dead it is, despite this I encourage my daughter to be a physio at South and she still goes most weeks, its a stepping stone to her future career.
We need all clubs playing under the same rules otherwise it will continue to go backwards and die.
I now have the choice of sitting at my favourite pub and watching it drinking a beer I like at a great price as opposed to going to the games and paying twice the amount for a beer I hate, its a no brainer.
It might be less obvious to an Eagles fan as theres never been much atmosphere at Eagles games anyway and most of them also follow the Crows which doesnt suprise me since they were shallow enough to allow their clubs to merge.
