Maybe only 1 up. :shock:

Puts a spanner in the works for the catch up game. Surely the league cannot take promotion away from titans for a team that were only good enough to be Sunday div 3(??) before.

Do NAB even have the money to survive any longer, don't they own campbelltown council thousands?

I have heard a similar thing. If 3 were to go up then I believe Vipers would be the next in line to go up unless Modbury get the 3 points against the Comets this week. Makes for a massive game for Modbury this week. I'm sure if Comets don't want to play then the Jets will gladly take the 3 points and move back to div.1. Tough luck on Vipers :shock: Then again maybe only 1 team will come down from div.1 meaning that the Hawks v Iggies game will be irrelevant.

Anyway, putting all of this aside, I can't believe that players/clubs don't want to play a game of soccer because it has no relevance to where their team will finish. What ever happened to playing the game for the love of it. We live in a country where we are fortunate to have grounds to play on and opposition to play against and as soon as there is no relevance to the ladder, people don't want to play. These people should be educated on the millions of starving and unfortunate football lovers of the world that would gladly give up their slice of bread for the week to be in the position that us South Aussies are in and play a game of football. Shame on Comets for not wanting to play and to all of those who share the same thoughts. :oops:

God is an Englishman can at least hold is head up high after saying that he wanted to still play even though he knew it was a dead rubber.

now this is very interesting...

maybe the game should have been played b4 the last round...

i still think the game needs to be played this week regardless because of the above quotes!!!

This has always been the case with games that have no impact on promotion / relegation as the league decides not to designate refs.

This is the same in any competition (FFSA and SAASL).

Personally I'm still peed off it was only a 16 game season.!

who makes the decision?

Why would the other div 2 teams care and be prepared to spend their money ensuring that titans go up? I'm sure the taxi driver has had a lawyer in his cab before who could help them out in a legal challenge.

I say put them in div 2. Let their first season determine which division they belong in.

i checked our records and Micky M has 14 goals... not updated

on the website we have scored team total of 32 and the individual goal scorers tally equals 27... so there is 5 unaccounted for...

I think they're far enough down greenhill road for it not to be too bad, I'll probably walk down though.

Also. Last week they promised us a good feed if the game goes ahead. Meat on a spit and decent imported beer would be nice.

Also, seeing as both divisional champions are playing in "dead" games, will there be the guard of honour like teams in the premiership get when they've already won the league?

We did that 3 weeks ago when we sealed it all up. had young family members walk out on the pitch with us.
Not sure whats happening with food and drink.

I dont think the show will be a problem. Its the distance of Goodwood Rd to past Unley Rd so pretty far away.

So what is the reason this game is being played? just out of curiosity?

I believe the "possibility" of 3 teams going up influenced the decision, no point in taking the risk. For the B's & C's, I think it's just players from both sides were kean to have a kick. It's a long off season in australia and the more football the better.

I was talking more about Comets players clapping the jets reserves onto the pitch as champions :D

Presumably just in case a 3rd team goes up to Div 1... so would be much appreciated if you at least drew them again. ;)
