DTH
Name another Saturday sport including any other footy comp that runs an alternative comp on a Sunday. Why should SFL pander to some of the tattooed toothless meatheads that gave the C grade comp its bad name some years ago. Those days are gone and thats why the so called traditional C grade clubs are not even fielding teams this year. I thought they all had so many Saturday workers that they queue up to play on Sunday. C grade comp for those teams still fielding is a good comp because of the youth in most teams. Most of these lads are busting to get a B grade game and are not playing C grade because its on a Sunday.
DTH I think you as in brighton are trying to be the organ grinder, making the SFL the monkey. Pushing Brightons own barrow.
Meatheads, that is a bit rough, from what I have seen in the last 4 years at least, the 'C' Grade is not about meatheads, that is an insult to the other clubs and to your own players. If Brighton want to play Saturdays maybe the SAAFL can accomodate you. If all the players from C grade teams are off playing elswshere on a Saturday clubs will loose money from suppoerters not watching games. (I know you dont have many supporters or club atmosphere) Let alone having to find extra trainers to be at other grounds on a Saturday, it is hard enough now to find officials let alone having other teams playing away from the main group on a saturday, I include finding extra umpires on a Saturday in this. You happen to umpire occassionally, are you going to miss the main game to go and umpire the 'C' Grade on a Saturday. Only so many games on Saturday can be accommodated.
