Just one option, replace the whole exec with a civilian revolt like the mid east. If theres any oil under any of our ovals the US will be here to help us out and get us back on track.....just an idea!

[Ted]

Cuz did you just come back from another liquid lunch?

[dark & stormy]

hmmmmmmmmmm, vista to go to turf hey,
I love turf , you dont hurt yourself so much when you slam your foot down or when you slide your bat it actually slides ..hey auto

[Rita]

So whats your strategic plan for the future then rita?.....Play finals?

I know for a fact the executive do a great deal of work to keep us playing every weekend

[Magpies96]

Hey, I know where Vista is coming from. We looked at changing comps a few years ago (And unfortunately we can't get turf at Fitzroy) but our situation has changed. We have a lot of younger guys coming thru and love playing rep cricket and playing in the carnival which they might not get the opportunity in another league. Add in the 20/20 knockout between the 4 top teams of each association we see real benefit in promoting our club and the Churches and Community Cricket Association.
We had SACA come out and see us about getting junior teams, and if and when that does happen it won’t mean we have to leave this competition.
What has happened to Paralowie is a real shame, and I also heard Brooklyn Park Uniting might not be around next season, I just hope we can form some new clubs, and the new clubs like Panthers can continue to grow and get stronger.

Add in ofcourse Vista staying in the league and all other clubs growing and getting stronger.

I think we have another keyboard hero. Welcome Rita. We all know the Exec dose a great job week in week out. I don't see anyone on here saying otherwise. I think you will find Oxygen Thief is talking about the future of the comp in ten years time. Maybe if you want to partake in this forum you could come up with some ideas. It is easy to sit back and talk S&%t. Maybe put your hand up to do something for the Association. I am sure most others on this forum have. If you are just here to stir the pot maybe go back under the rock you crawled out from.

To set things straight, its PV that is looking at turf. Reason being is that we are worried about the future of our association and with it diminishing in numbers of teams and clubs every season, we dont want to end up having to play in PDCA and travel to Two Wells every second week.
Call me a pesamist, but as Prez. i need to think about my club and its future. You would have to be blind Freddy to not see that as an association we are in trouble!

1. Playing on turf would mean you would have to acquire a ground with a turf deck, i know you guys play at Greenacres F.C but isnt that bottom oval used my Mawson Lakes/Elders CC?

2. I think to be successfull and survive in ATCA you would need a stable base and club, so where would you go? Where around your area is there facilities?

3. If you ended up in PDCA, you wouldnt travel to Two Wells every 2nd week, if you took the time to look over the sides and locations you would find that infact there are probably more clubs based around the Salisbury area than anything.

Sorry mate, but im struggling to see where abouts in any of Ritas posts that makes him look like a keyboard hero?

Looks to me like he is merely sticking up for the execs?

IMHO these discussions about the future of the comp are starting to bore me, continually the issue is raised on here, and for what? So the posters can feel better by getting ideas off their chest? It falls on deaf ears anyway.

So why waste time discussing how to save or improve the competition? All it does is get all you folk excited and wound up or defensive and then in a couple months time go over it all again.

Why ask a player for a strategic plan? You elect executives to do this stuff.

About time your executive began running a little more professionally like a business/organisation should instead of like some social backyarder.

Phantom you make valid points.

1. yes the bottom oval is already used. We have a ground that will be available to play turf cricket on if we decide to do this.

2. We are looking at the possibility of being affiliated with a school that would give us that base and the juniour teams to run a successful club for years to come.

3. I think that was a little tongue in cheek in ATCA and PDCA the travel would be more. We know that and understand that.

The reason to move to turf is that is a better comp than PDCA and i see the future looking good. I know most guys would love to play on turf i have done this for 5 or 6 years and they were some of the best times i have had playing cricket. It would allow us to build a club that will be around for many years to come. I am not sure how many clubs have a plan for the future. It sounds like fitzroy do. We are only trying to look after our members.

I think i will be in for a long meeting tonight. Wish me luck.

Not sure why your having a crack at me for all i said was the executive do a good job and i'm entitled to voice my opinion on this public forum.

[dark & stormy]

rita, no matter what anyone says mate, someone will disagree and have the old smart a$$ comment.
tongue in cheek crap . we all have the same thoughts guys but lets be honest here.
what cab the committee do ?? if we all want to sit back and let someone else do it all , well then we dont deserve to have an assoc. WE ALL NEED TO GET INVOLVED AND GIVE A LITTLE wouldnt you agree.
yes phantom you are right also , here we go again with the same old crap , PUT UP OR SHUT UP as we all might be looking for somewhere else to play........

[Phantom Gossiper]

Fair enough spintwin, i think ALL clubs should have 1,3,5, 10+ year plans if they really want to be successfull and grow and develop.

I mean all well and good looking at each season, wanting to win a flag and have some fun but you need to look at the long term and plan for it. Probably i guess an area where the more dominant clubs are better at, and i dont mean dominate as in winnings, i mean as in members, finance, sponsors etc.

Good luck at your meeting

Ok ok coz im so nosey and opinionated lol i'll give my 2c ...

1st of all, i think the executive needs to be more pro-active i.e seek clubs
I think they should look at a development officer to work for the association, that could work and liaise with schools and clubs.
I think the exec needs to be more involved with clubs, and make sure they are running efficiently.
I think the exec needs to be NON players, and make an effort to get around grounds or clubs when possible.
i think the exec needs to produce a long term plan and present it to clubs so EVERYONE knows and understands what is going on and the plans for the future.
I think the exec should have a "clubs" representative who can take issues from the clubs to the meetings, issues that could and probably are raised on this forum!
I think the season structure needs to change, either more games or better organised - 7 or 8 games before xmas then a couple after before finals at the end of FEB is just ridiculous!!! And really drags on the season.

[Phantom Gossiper]

umm.. i think thats about it hahaha!!

[Magpies96]

To be fair, I saw two executive members pop out to see some of the div 4 final between Fitzroy and Enfield, so fair play to Ian Amy and Glenys.

Fair enough. How often during season proper did you see them though?

Wow...fire up lads....

Each of us has different talents and everyone should be using their skillset to further the comp i say. I'll lend a hand by being the face of any marketing campaign....
