Is there a Govt agenda to push soccer out of the City/CBD?

Post by Tzon »

I was reflecting and wondering sitting in the sun reading soccer media yesterday.
In Adelaide it appears to be soccer is being pushed out of the City?
Why?
No joint sitting with AO development.
AU cannot train at Hindmarsh.
New ground at West Beach, Burton....Kilburn, The Parks
But no ground if substance in the city ???

Soccer will be a major part of the Bowden redevelopment also along Bonython Park and Park B27.

I thought you were up to date with all the council happenings.

Thank you JD. It's not just how you single handedly saved the WAHMkI juniors and Park B27, but without you there would be no Hindmarsh upgrade, no TV advertising, no ethnic football clubs in Adelaide at all, and the sponsors of WAHMkII would go broke. Please JD, all we want now is world peace, surely that's not beyond you. :lol:

all I'm stating is E&D is there as a organisation that in the majority will enable kids to play and appreciate the game for what it is.
Nearly every player that has made it to a high level of the sport that has come from the north has come out of E&D. It is where we northerners started up until FFSA recently provided small sided football for the younger age groups also.
What annoys me is the fact that people believe that all kids should get higher training and that all kids should aspire to the top. Yes we need X amount for the game to go forward but we also need kids to just participate rather than play the game on playstation.
E&D and SAASL do a fantastic job in making our sport enjoyable and especially AFFORDABLE . They just need to get Womens football also under their umbrella to encapture everyone. Not everyone is an aspiring Messi
Shoot goal
Good write,
But ffsa junior colts model does not point towards participation but revenue raising for clubs and ffsa.
