Here's a thought Mt Lofty people, just play by the rules and don't try to change them to suit yourselves. If you are such a great club you will be back in Central Div in 2015
Spot on 'rock'. Our President got a call today. Sounds like they'll try anything to avoid going to Country Div. What makes them so much better or different than Birdwood or Ironbank of the past to be excluded from relegation. And I'm sick of hearing they are a 'founding club of Central Div'. Does that mean there are different rules for founding clubs from every other club. Give me a break.
And to all those Country Div clubs make sure you get to the meeting Monday night to vote this nonsense down. It'll be your votes that'll decide the destiny of your competition and your great clubs. Don't be pushed around by any bully's of the HFL. Stand up and be counted.

The country div on a whole is pathetic, major gap between the top few and the bottom few, juniors a shambles, I would be doing what ever I could to avoid going down as well. I'm sure every other club would be exactly the same. Didn't Birdwood kick up a fuss before they were forced to go down?

Have heard that SFL has been thrown around as an option as it avoids the juniors issue

Don't think the parents of the juniors will want to travel & would look to stay in HFL still. That's what I'd do.

Equivalent travel and no trip to Cambrai, look below, the furthest trip would be Aldinga or some of the more Southern clubs, which are the equivalent to Kersbrook, Birdwood or Gums
The remaining games are all equivalent distance to Kangy, Meadows etc

I meant the junior players would probably join the likes of Bridgewater, Uraidla & Ironbank (which are all central clubs surrounding Mt lofty) if the seniors moved to another league.
Did they even have juniors when they were in the SAFA.

Seems like its grabbing momentum, but if it happens, it will be the death of the country division, Maybe that's what the league is aiming for?

Dear All
Update on the HFL promotion & relegation matter;
On Monday night 11th November 2013 at 7.30 pm the Mt lofty Districts Football Club along with all other Central & Country league Clubs, will again be in attendance at the HFL office to hear an amended motion (to our motion put forward last week) before the League moved by the Board of the HFL.
The Hills Football League Board moves that By Law 18.1.5.be deleted. 18.1.5 currently reads; Central Division to consist of no more than 10 clubs.
The amendment will remove the current stipulation that "the Central Division will consist of no more than 10 clubs" and provide flexibility to increase the number of clubs to cater for growth in the Hills Football Community or special circumstances that will strengthen the HFL.
Mt Lofty Football Club have the full support of the HFL in this amended motion. The MLDFC have confidence the League clubs will support the amended motion and we have installed enormous trust in the HFL to be acting in the best interests of MLDFC & the entire Hills Football League.
In the unlikely event the amended motion is not passed our special Sub Committee formed in this matter assure its members & players your clubs future is in very good & capable hands.
Watch this space for further updates.
