Don't get angry at us because we have a strong junior set-up and bring them through to senior footy. If you can find someone closer to the situation than me, feel free to let us know his/her view.Bombers4EVA wrote:I know and it sounds like there will always be the same conflict. Who's got the most coin to throw around. Ditts said that he believes that Amatuer clubs in Div 4 - 8 shouldnt pay players. What's your thoughts on that? Also a bloke from Salisbury jumped on the radio to give his thoughts and he said and I quote ( which i find it really hard to believe ). " No one from the Salisbury FC gets paid because they all love and enjoy the culture". What a load of rubbish. You cant tell me that a club in Div 3 doesnt pay players. Crap.
If you did any research before spouting out your crap, you'd note that we lost 3 of our top 5 in last years B&F to the Barossa comp this year. I'll give ya a hint, it's not because they all live there. This is also one of the reasosn why we have yo-yo'd between Div 3 & 4 fror 10 years, we are unable to compete financially with the top Div 3 clubs.
But don't get your frustration at being stuck in Div 6 get mixed-up with the facts...
Not frustrated at all mate. And Im not saying anything about the development of your club. I just find it hard to believe that a Div 3 club doesnt pay players. Considering that most clubs in Div 4 up all offer incentives to attract players to their club. Not trying to offend anyone on here just giving my opinion thats all.
