Salis Nth had there chances but blew it in the last qtr, trailing by 5 pts at the last change the Hawks thought they had it but fell right on there backside.
The dissappointing aspect of the day was $8 charge to get in, the only thing was when your in the Amateur League was hoping everyone had eaten as the food ran out by half time & so did the beer for the ones that love a can.
Absolute disgrace by the League who couldn't organise a f--- in a brothel!
Re catering at Thebarton Oval Div 1 Grand Final:
I just wanted to set the record straight on the catering setup from the GF. Whilst the Gepps Cross Junior Football Club manned the booths to do the work, they had no input whatsoever into the ordering or organising of items to be sold.
During the leadup, a gentleman who has had many years of experience in catering, offered his services, expertise and some equiment to the SAAFL but was told it was not necessary, all was under the control of MS. The Northgate club even offered to buy any 'leftover' cartons of beer
The catering was an absolute debacle, the order for pies/pasties was 10 dozen, yeh you got it, 120 units for a crowd in excess of 2000 people, suffice to say all were gone before 3/4 time in the B grade final. The snags lasted about a half hour longer.about 10 loaves of bread, you got to be joking
Several trips were made to BWS to buy more grog and several more loaves of bread in an attempt to keep the crowd happy.
All this took place whilst the hierachy were in an upstairs room entertaining each other, bet they didn't run out up there.
Suggestion, next year, take some advice from someone that knows what to do and how to do it, I guarantee there wont be the problems that existed yesterday.
Well done to the volunteers who had a fair bit to put up with yesterday from abusive and impatient customers, maybe this will throw some light on how and why it happened
