Sturt in Financial Trouble?

[topsywaldron]

Given the shirt I reckon it might be Duff McKagan. Or Phil Heinrich.

this sort of lack of support for your side doesn't help.


KEN WHELAN LUNCHEON at BarZaar.
There is an official club luncheon at BarZaar this Friday 30th where Rick Davies is the guest speaker.
It has not been advertised until now because it was an invitation luncheon to Bequest Society members.
.

Isn't the bequest society a charity Centurion?
Aren't you drawing a bit of a long bow saying low interest from a charity group in the SFC amounts to Sturt fans not supporting their side?

sorry I couldn't respond from my Wedgie-imposed imprisonment but I would have thought that they would have opened it up to the public well before they did. Anywayz, from what I have heard, things turned out ok, with about 350 humans turning up anyway!

Dude.... we call them people. Live amongst us long enough and you'll pick up the lingo.
What did you type that got you imprisoned?

Just his usual off topic trolling rubbish but I get less tolerant every now and then.

Sturt now 50/1 I see for the 2013 flag , port magpies look a long price and the Eagles look short after all their experience they have lost!

[SDK]

Which has a lot do with their financial position ?

[am Bays]

Rumours are of a $450 K loss, not good if true.

[SDK]

Jesus they would hardly SPEND that let alone LOSE it !

[Wedgie]

Must be something about the colour turquoise and bad financial losses!

[topsywaldron]

Still can't believe the number of Sturt fans willing to be taken over by the Crows.

Sad.

[CENTURION]

here comes STURTWOOD don't have to change the song much.

still yet to find one.... you must associate with the so called fans that only turn up at half time when they are smashing the opposition, get in for free and smuggle in their own booze.

[topsywaldron]

The Sturt fans have got their eye on bigger fish than us. When talk is of 'beating West to the punch' to merge you know the game's up.

You have to wonder if the lack of accountability at Sturt, with little or no member input into the makeup of the Board, has had some kind of impact on how precipitous the financial position is.

[topsywaldron]

:shock: still yet to find one....

Don't read the Sturt forum then?

[Wedgie]

Geez Topsy. Go back to trolling North or Central. Surely Sturt is too easy a target for even you atm?

[topsywaldron]

As much as I despise responding to anything you say, I'm genuinely surprised by the meek acceptance of Sturt's fate and seeming inevitable slide towards being an AFL reserves team.

Funnily enough I thought this was an SANFL forum and the death of a club might warrant discussion, if that's considered trolling so be it.

[Wedgie]

Ha ha. You despise responding to anything I say?
You despise things too easily my friend, enjoy life and smile!
Sorry I didnt realise Id hit a sore spot, carry on your crusade and have a nice day!

Serious Questions for Sturt fans what was the actual income and expenditure for the club last year?

If they need to trim the budget is their reasonable room to move? West had expenditure of $2.8 Mill compared to other clubs expending $300 (Eagles) to $600 (Bays) K less - they have room to move in making cuts and still be competetive IMO.

Was Sturts expenditure at other clubs levels $2.2 - $2.5 therefore with a rumoured loss of almost $0.5 Mill the income levels are that low in order to balance the books their competetiveness is compromised?

Surprised their annual report isn't up on their website yet.

[Barto]

There's nothing left to trim. Could always do an insurance job and burn down the grandstand.

So what, with a $450 K loss income was 1.7-1.8 Mill??
