Im not racist by any means so please dont anybody take this the wrong way...

but arent we setting a bit of a dangerous precedent by allowing a team to be named after a country? I have heard that there is government funding for immigrant groups to set up sporting teams to help them integrate into society better but surely they should be naming the clubs after the suburb/area they live in just like every one else??

i think u may have started a major debate lol.

but its a good point u make Duck-mann... n theres a lot of issues to be raised about this new club. Do you have to be of Bangladeshi origin to play for them? do we then start asking question of racial segregation amongst clubs? because im an australian and if i wanted to play for this team, do they knock me back because of my origins? and if i do play for them, surely they arent Bangladesh tigers anymore r they???

Which suburb is Rose & Crown named after? Or ATCO? Aren't they named after a common interest of those who started the club?

Sounds the same to me.

I agree and coz ive had a few this might sound bit retarded lol but here we go :lol:

I dont think a side should be allowed to enter any competition in any sport in Australia named after another country or carrying a name that clearly seperates them and identifies them as "different" from others.

I think it isolates the side/club from the rest of the competition. If you were a young AUSSIE kid living in the area, dont you think it would be akward and uncomfortably playing for or approaching a side called "Bangladesh", esp if the side/club is built around and full of people of that nationality.

Also do you think a competition would allow side to enter whose name was "Australia" or "whites only" or some ridiculous crap like that?

You might argue that most sporting sides are white dominant and hard for immigrants to feel comfortable and fit into, but clubs dont openly name themselves or operate in such manner than makes some new person think they cant approach the club!

I dont think by forming their own sporting sides/clubs is exactly "intergrating" - sure they are partaking in aus sport etc but they are still isolating distancing themselves from AUSTRALIANS!

Do you know how many of their players have approached other cricket clubs and were made to feel not very welcome?

These blokes are incredibly passionate about their cricket, enough so that they chose to create their own club rather than sit out. I look forward to watching them this season.

Out of the delegates from all clubs at the AGM, not one of them said a word about the name of the club. Sounds like a non-issue to me.

Personally i dont care and i do look forward to their progress, i just think it is definately something that may raise concerns and questions!

and i would like to know the answer to your question.. how many have approached other clubs and felt not welcome!? I know Kilburn made their Afghan locals feel extremely welcome, eliz East last season had almost a full side of afghan kids too and ive seen plenty of sides floating around with one or two immigrants playing..

and Im not saying this new club will cause problems either...

was more thinking have we opened a can of worms... now where do you draw the line? If the PDCA decides down the track they dont want/like the name of another club starting up using another countries name they will have people claiming racism. It may not be an issue now but it may have laid a path for issues later.

The difference is the use of a countries name... Like the point has been made by others the use of the country in the club name sends a signal to outsiders that the club is for people from 'Bangladesh' origin only (which Im sure is not the case) but that is the way a lot of people will perceive it.
By naming a club after "a common interest" as youve mentioned you are not creating a boundary such as race or religion which IMO would be the 2 things that cause more issues than anything else.

Look new to the cricket forum but sounds to me A "Majority being worried about a minority" I know alot of indigenous players wanting to play with their own people in the Amateur football league ( Kaurna Eagles) Why cant this cricket team go ahead, just a opinion from the left side.

Yeah its an interesting conversation. I think they should receive every encouragement from the Association and all member clubs, but when I was a youngster you didnt join a soccer club if you were not of the "ethnic mix" that club represented -much of it was unspoken but it did exist. On the other hand, a fair bit of blatant racism is unspoken as well and thats not right either. I am not saying "ethnic tension' will happen here but dividing our sport along any ethnic or national lines makes me very uncomfortable. I believe that the ATCA has something specific in their rules about not allowing any clubs to be named after any country, or ethnic group and that makes a fair bit of sense to me.

Besides, its self limiting. Look at the Churches Association. they are having discussions to drop the church stuff because its not relevant anymore and some believe its hurting their comp. this says to me "unless you are bangladeshi dont bother" much like Hellas and Juventus used to in their own way.

I dont think anyone is "worried" about people wanting to join in the association, of any "minority" group.. The more players the merrier. The only issue raised is that of the name of the club, not of its members.

The Adelaide Indians played in our section 2 grade this year. They were always late for games, only had 3 pairs of pads, so the bloke that got out had to get his pads of so the next bloke could pad up. And they had to change there B grade to become another club because there were people from another race playing for them. They became the Internationals.
My drinking club has a cricket problem!
