If thats correct, no amount of young and able committee members will ever survive if people in the background are not put in a cage or told to politely piss off.
No, that's incorrect. Simon still plays cricket out there.
Simon put his hand up when the place was at a standstill, he was president of the "Sports and Social Club", the football club is a subsidiary of that.
Simon stood down on his own accord, he left the place in a better state than what it was when he took it over.
You'll still find him there demolishing the Carlton Draughts and always with a smile on his face.
I do enjoy your press briefings
I hear everything and I make enquiries.
