http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl ... 7073577188so the NAFC still dont get it. Edwards claiming we want the sanfl to "return" to what it was 30 years ago. NFI. not what is being asked for at all. after all this time they still dont understand the fundamental argument of the "no" people.... i wasnt even watching footy 30 years ago you ******* pelican
they were warned that this would happen if they voted the reserves in, and they still went ahead with it. at $70 for a basic membership (lets ignore those that purchased home match/season tickets for now) and working on around 3000 members (just a conservative guess, i dont have the current numbers) that makes around 300 that didnt renew this year that they attribute to the reserves entry? so nearly half ($21000 using my guestimated numbers, would likely be higher) of the crows payments gone on that alone?
and we are now supposed to magically change our minds and support this garbage they are feeding us because they cry poor? i do feel sorry for centrals situation. they resisted the intrusion, and have paid the penalty anyway. as far as i am concerned North have made their bed so they can lie in it.
sadly i doubt that will be enough to encourage the club to change its stance (they will still see it as a net gain) but how much will that increase this season? and the season after that? i wonder how long it will be before they change their tune on the inclusion of the reserves sides and if there will be anything to salvage when they do?
and Benny, North didnt ask me why my membership wasnt renewed. but i made sure they didnt have to ask. i was very forthcoming with my reasons
