Financial Issues in SAAFL clubs

[9]

What in the last week? A few months ago a players mum won some money. Can't see the club getting any of that, hear he is moving on next season, but that could change now the President has gone.

I take it you're in the know a bit there number 9, Paralowie will pull through, we're going through a rough patch ourselves.

They Usally do.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

I believe another President quit last week. Thier time at the top might be shortlived as they are a bit short of cash and the freefall could begin again

I thought you guys had turned that around this year, I know a lot of hard work being done from some quality people

Mate, getting numbers in the club on a Saturday night has been a killer, it is hard when your B's struggle for numbers and are getting flogged and when you have a lot of kids playing seniors, they can only drink so many cans of coke. We're just not getting the patronage that we used to.

I reckon most are suffering from the same thing. Young blokes come for presentation, once that's finished, zoom straight out the door and head to the city or elsewhere for action.
That's how it goes nowadays unfortunately but give them an inferior footy to kick, they'll soon let you know! All take, not much give!

Tell me how you are smart enough to know these are "random half rumours"? Are you psychic or what?

Paralowie.

Hooray, mission accomplished. I heard that Paralowie has an abundance of money thanks to a winfall.

Their footy trip was to Burnside........

Where did you hear that LM, I heard they were $20,000.00 in the red.

I believe the new committee found this number to be very close to the mark when the books were looked at. Even some still outstanding from 2009

This club will probably need to find another league to play in next year if they survive.
The SAAFL rules & regs state something along the lines of; "no club who is unfinancial will be affiliated" and the numbers are rising daily, how will they pay it all unless a "white knight" comes along?

I think this may well be the case. I reckon CD is playing with words in his post, I'm thinking the club's new president might work with some kind of "knight'
