And North Haven won't want to come up, after asking to go down last year and their team not changing very much this season. Basically will be the same guys again but a year older.

[woodublieve12]

see this is the problem with the promotion/relegation system the asca has, far to inconsistant... belair shouldnt get a choice and neither should nth haven... those two sides staying in section 2 is a very big disadvantage to rest of that comp, all because they dont wanna be the best there club can be.. gutless i reckon... id rather struggle in section 1 then dominate section 2... call me harsh, but why would any club not take the opportunity to play at the highest level??????

[Moe]

Belair should be made to come up, it should not be a choice.

Yeah weak by them really isnt it

Well yes, it is a bit weak of them.
If memory serves, the last 3 sides that have been relegated from section 1 have really done their best to be promoted as soon as possible. South Road & Morphy Parks both won the section 2 flags in their first relegated season, and North Haven nearly did the same.
It shows that clubs want to play at the highest level they can & I think Premierships mean alot more in that aspect.
I reckon if Warradale had the opportunity to play section 1 again, they would jump at it. It would mean I have another team to bash up on as well, which might give old South Road a breather

SUCK it up Belair & grow some kahunas, or maybe our head honchos of the league should.

On a side note, expecting BIG things out of Roo Park next season.

North Haven- 4 blokes that are 45,43,42,42. 3 blokes that are 37,37,39. We tried our hardest to stay in Section 1 but it would have been a struggle. Getting smashed every week isnt fun and when you get to the end of your cricketing career at a high level in our comp you want to have a bit of fun also. We have a fantastic junior system, our under 13s won the premiership this year, we have 2 under 11s and a under 17s, with a under 15s next year coming in. We are 4 young good cricketers off playing section 1. I think it was a bit harsh of you WUB for making that statement.

dont think im bein harsh at all... so your saying if nth haven footy club won the flag or made the GF this year and when they go to be promoted they go "look our sides a bit old or not experienced enough to go up, do you mind if we stay down?" im pretty sure the league would tell them to get off, you have an off season to rectify that, or deal with what you have and the older people will have to stand up and show there experience. same to the young lads time to step up and enjoy the challenge.... all due respect to your comments (i honestly mean it, because i really do respect your comments) i do find it a cop out... Nth Haven are to proud a club to sit in section 2....

[bazza1]

Our old blokes have stood up in the past and next year they will be a year older, our young guys are getting there but there isnt enough of them at the moment. Our club wants to play Section 1 and win a section 1 premiership but at the moment we do not have the cattle.
Belair on the other hand are young and capable but there captain isnt keen.

I think WUB is being harsh on Nth Haven as they have struggled for a few years in section 1 and stuck at it and then finished bottom and got relegated. They picked up a good cricketer in Mattner on the eve of the season and if they knew he and D Quirk were going to be playing in late august they probably would have stayed in section 1. They have an old side who as evidenced by the year before won't play section 1 because of the longer days. I think the right decision was made this year and i think people should hold off bagging the executive before they actually make a decision on the matter.

WOS Folding will ensure there will be one club coming up from section 2 unless there are new clubs coming into our association.

not harsh... just honest...

[bazza1]

Its not honest, its your opinion. Just like everyones on the forum.

[woodublieve12]

yeah i know.. i meant to say. "im just bein honest with my opinion"... i can see how that didnt come across after just sayn 2 words

[CoverKing]

fact is, if we dont get a side into our comp from another comp, belair will be playing divvy 1 even if they dont want to. they wont have a choice and they shall come up

[Jabber]

Im not going to say that it should be that cut and dry, because if plympton were to come bottom we would explore every avenue available to us to give us a chance to stay up. So to say that a side must come up after i've said we would try not to go down would be quite hypocritical.

Belair tick all the boxes for a side that want to come up, young, talented... well thats two boxes but that's enough. The ground is an absolute hole, although all the old stuffed shirt saca members would love it because its very picturesque. perhaps if the yes vote gets up all the disgruntled saca members could become belair members!

The fact that the captain of belair would rather be a big fish in a small pond is interesting. I guess i just don't understand how any club would not want to play in the pinnacle division if given the chance. It just baffle's me.

Although, if the keswick law gets up then it will just be another mickey mouse comp no matter what section your in.

[Amateur Footy]

Well just make sure you get your full quota of delegates to the AGM to vote and prevent the motion from getting up. I expect ramblers will again (this will be voted on at our next meeting) but hopefully the WYC chaps are still against it too.

Yeah we will be voting against it once again. Committee voted against it at our last meeting

[the back pocket]

Having played against Belair a couple of times i think they should be promoted to sec 1.
They are a young side with a strong bowling attack but their achilies heel might be their batting. Why you may ask most of the time their bowlers tend to destroy their opponents and only have to chase small totals, so alot of their batters don't see a lot of game time which can hurt them in sec1.

only my thoughts

I think the AGM for ASCA will be very funny this year, there will be an extraordinary number of people at this meeting, and then once this vote is finished it will be like a ghost town, everyone who really doesnt need to be there will just bugger off!

So that bloke still runs the club then? Piss weak.Challenge yourself and the guys around you mate instead of hiding in Section 2.

Panorama did a similar things years ago, yes? Up to the ASCA executive to take control here and not bend over to these requests.
