You can't compare Glenunga with say Eastern Park you dumb ****.
One is a club in an affluent area, flush with high end sponsors and families that are comfortable paying the best part of $350 - $400 in fees for their kid. A high functioning committee, members with white collar backgrounds and an area that is booming in Jnr footy.
The other is a working class, low socio-economic area where the footy club is the livelihood for many locals, but sponsorship is tough going and competing with local clubs for kids is even harder. Committee and members made up of passionate people trying to do best by their club, but often not having the ways or means. Families that might struggle to pay $200 in fees for their kids.
