North v Labrador match moved to Footy Pk

[JK]

Without notice or consultation, the AFL has moved the scheduled pre AFL game timeslot at the Gabba to AAMI. Now the game shall be played AFTER the Power/ Freemantle fixture on May 21 commencing at 5.05pm. The AFL cited ground conditions as the reason for the change.

Probably still doesn't allay any doubts for some

[whufc]

good to see the foxtel cup cares about the fans of the participating team lol

joke of a comp

oy enough out of u. while u been feasting on premierships, only dropping the occasional crumb, the rest of us are starving ok so STFU

keep it quiet but i enjoyed the WAFL vs VFL sides game and am looking forward to how the SANFL teams go against the better sides in the comp, hoping for SA victories than we will truly be the second best comp in Aus.

[whufc]

Where oh where is R&B for his pro AFL spill.

Thank Christ I booked my trip through the club and therefore getting a full refund!

Has the club said you will be getting that?

This is what they said in a e-mail today

For Members who have acted in good faith and made private travel arrangements, your point of reference is the AFL. The Club will contact those members who booked a package promoted through Airport Travel. We shall in turn forward same to the AFL for consideration.

Doesn't say anything about getting a full, or any, refund.

I totally agree and i have said from day 1 if Central paricipated in the Foxtel Cup i would go watch them no matter where they played.

will the players who had to take time off work because of the travel time be compensated now. one player in particular is extremly p**sed and may choose not to play in protest.

How do you get compensated for something that hasn't happened?

very frustated player who had to take 2 shifts off because of travel time. Obviously there not going to compensate the player but obviously he isnt as keen on the foxtel cup now that it has cost him over $300 in work he could have done. Also has a GF who had paid for flights up to Queensland for the match, he is still considering going up there for the weekend.

Surely his employer would understand and give him his shifts back? You would think they would be understanding considering they employed a semi professional footballer. I guess his GF is in the same boat as the other people who paid for flights to Brisbane.

Not if the person who is covering the shift has already changed all her plans to cover for the player leaving and now wont give them up.

Sounds like a nice place to work.

Joke of a competition. Moving a game's location a couple thousand kms is a thoughtless/careless move.

I'm certainly not 'pro-AFL', I just don't go along with 2 things about them:

1 That there is a big conspiracy by the AFL about every issue that ever crops up in the SANFL, and

2 I don't think whinging about the AFL is very productive.

On the contrary, I think it's great that the SANFL, IMO, is gaining strength. Crowds are up (which goes against the AFL conspiracy theory), the footy's good and the competition is even.

As for the football, I think it's silly to say that the AFL product is always terrible and the SANFL is always great. I'll enjoy a great game at AFL level and get bored by the many poor games.

If it comes to the crunch, I'll always follow the SANFL well before the AFL (as I've done all my life).

That's how I read it, unless the club has told those who booked through them something different I can't see any mention of guaranteed refunds

I'm not sure how much more clearer I could have made it when I broke the news.

Having money on North and West at crazy odds while hoping the champion will come from SA I hope they have all the matches here, I'm already 2 grand up!

If you meant it, the way I have edited it, then not a truer word posted.

What has been the fall out with this?

Will there be any refunds handed out?

Do I have to repeat my post which was the first post on this thread a 3rd time?

No problems just the release from NA never said it was confirmed that refunds were getting handed out.
