Ingle Farm Soccer Club Pre Season

[Jay Walking]

Starts tomorrow night at 7:00pm. Training will continue every Tuesday and Thursday thereafter. BBQ every Thursday night with happy hour at 9:30pm. Bar prices are some of the cheapest going around the league.

The club will again be coached by Paul Simpson, ablely assited by Alan Leadbeater and Billy Graves. Vinnie Evans will coordinate our over 35'side (Dads Army as we like to call it). We have some excellent sessions planned and whilst training for the A's and B's can be intense, its very fun and mainly with a ball at your feet.

We are still looking for a trainer and a C Team coach. Trust me guys, you dont want me as your C Team coach so find someone.

Anyone who would like more details about training, the club or becoming the C Team coach, PM me or refer to the ad in todays Advertiser.

All players are welcome to our club, even those from Vista. As far as I know, only 1-2 are looking at joining us from Vista though.

As for the money, everyone that plays in the first team is compenstated the same amount to money, even if you dont take the park. Not sure where your coming from with that one Mr Football.

Yawn another season, another of whinging about players getting paid or reimburstments for their time and commitment. Another season of all talk and no results will be the outcome no doubt. Get over the money and get on with your own game. Dont know if we have you in a pre season game Mr Football but we can discuss it more over a beer if we do. Good luck to stewie and the club for 2008.

Nah i was just in a shitty mood i don't care if players get payed or not its always gonna happen at some clubs and never at others, really doesn't bother me unless its used to try and get players to leave my club for another (if it is). I'd love to be payed to play but would never leave vista to do it. Pretty sure stuey has plans for pre season games unfortunately, always enjoy our games against the downs, learn a lot and get a good hard match.

Do you really think less than $50 if you win would make someone leave a club if they were happy there. The reason we pay is because we have a sponsor who wishes for his money to be spent on reimbursing players. Cara has spoken to some of the players who were at Vista last year yes. But to say he is trying to buy them is a bit far fetched. No disrecpt to these players, but you claim he has asked guys who werent good enough to make your first team last year. Would they make our first team then? Only our A team players get paid. For the record, 2 Vista players came and spoke to me about playing for us at the end of last season.

Speak to almost everyone in our club, they certainly ain't there for the money. You will find the same with Florina, Downs, Vale, Gardens etc. Westies are the best example, those guys get virutally nothing but stick together in that team. They do try to recruit from other clubs, we all do, but they also dont go mental if someone wants to play for a different club to advance themselves or to enjoy their football more.

Very true, certain clubs would do well to realise this.

Some good points there JayWalking however it does get frustrating when other clubs constantly contact your current players offering money when your club can not afford to compete however that's were the loyalty comes in and if there happy they are there for more than money as you have quite rightly pointed out. For me it is Ok for clubs to contact players once or twice as players are fair game in the off season as they are amateurs but no (once or twice) is no isn't it

Coming from a club that does not have juniors and can’t have juniors due to many reasons which are out of our control (council for one) we do rely on loyalty and for me that’s our clubs responsibility to keep our players happy in other ways in the form of incentives other than money in good training gear ie, balls, box nets etc, cheaper registration for current players, drinks for 1st team.

I agree. We dont have a junior system but try to have an association with the Ingle Farm juniors. It can be tough to keep your own players but do you really want someone there that doesn't want to be somewhere else. We lost Mario to Cobras 2 years ago due to the fact that they are paying him over $400 per game every week. We can't compete with that either. It comes down to a culture and what else you can offer. Just like you guys, we try to have cheaper rego, cheap drink prices etc.

Its interesting to look at the difference between TTG and Vista. They are two of the biggest junior clubs in South Australia. TTG pay the Amatuers and Vista dont. Its not to say that you should or shouldn't. Until last year, we never paid players. Paying big $$ doesn't give you success and the players you pay big $$ rarely stay.

It comes down to a culture and what else you can offer - SPOT ON. Just like you guys, we try to have cheaper rego, cheap drink prices etc.

personally speaking i've been offered money to play at other clubs but chose not to as for me money is not the reason i play the game however i don't hold a grudge to players that do play for money in fact good luck to them. For me the grass is not always greener even if the are $$$ involved, the mateship i have from staying with 1 club is as the say priceless and because of this i have some mates for life.

I know it was a quite obvious comment, how else would our clubs survive if there weren't people not in it not for the money.

[Ollo Ollo]

Come on, from what I saw of Vista last year they would not have one first team player who would make the A's squad of the top four Div 1 teams from last year.

If you think you do, then go out and have a try....

[Monkey Boy]

Good call Yammy Boy, I dont think Vista are any cop either!!! Who could make div 1 first team? Im struggling to think anyone.... Is Colin or Matt Simpson still out there?

[BULLDOG]

colin hung up the boots at the end 0f season 2006 due to his knee problems, simo is still out at vista.

it would appear that vista will get the same players returning all bar a couple who i'm told have gone to the farm. a couple are not sure where and even if they'll play anywhere this year, but on a whole the players the coach wanted to see return have said they'll be back.I guess as of the 3nd of feb we'll know who we'll have out there.

good luck to all for season 2008.
