You have my vote if i was a member. When will you be putting your ticket together?

[Nice One Cyril]

I think we should have a deciding boxing match between JD and Alex, with wabster as the referee (he can wear a mask if he likes).

Tickets would be popular

Why cant they just be one club?

The same people who run the juniors, run the seniors.

I would say the club has one registered name, one account, one committee.

What is wrong with that?

Drrrrrr sorry to say, last time it was like that and the Juniors went down with the Seniors.
We got kicked out off Park B27, and made tenants to the Comets (Adelaide Raiders).

One club - Yes.
One Committee - Yes.
Separate Accounts please?
Separate legal identity please?

[SalleH78]

They are one club.

Its all very robust discussion and all very interesting, but thats all it is.

work your magic on some other club please.....like say Comets, you played for them...talk about this club.
