Adelaide Red Blue Eagles FC-PLAYERS WANTED

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

I have to agree with Nugget.

Its great to see so many teams joining but how does this effect the league?

In the near future I see many sides folding due to a lack of man-power off the field.

Since Ive been involved in a greek club, ill take the following Greek perspective, we have seen in the past few years Limnos fold and before that Hellenic and Rodos. Since Navarino started up we have seen the re-formation of Asteras and the introduction of the Vipers. Too me it seems like the same resources are doing the rounds.

have to agree with you there PPG.
Thought RBE had a good young squad, surely they all just didn't dissapear.
Anyways all the best to them and good luck with the player situation.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here, can you explain in english?

[nugget66]

Like I said RBE i hope your club is one of the rare survivors & wish it every success...

What if the SAASL let in another 10 more new clubs join this season,
that would certainly affect every club in the league including yours, because the player pool would certainly be less & quality would suffer. At some point in time they need to ceiling number of clubs I believe.

You make so much sense, you should be in politics. Hey "new clubs", why don't we all fold, maybe we can go down and play at parafield gardens, help them out.

Well said Power04!

Well said RBE? are you kidding???

Your clubs struggling to get players! & there's a bunch of clubs in the same boat.

Also there's a distinct lack of keepers in the league let alone quality & by the way they keepers don't grow on trees!

And your responce is well said to what the Power04 wrote? You Muppet.....

Like I said wish your club & all the new clubs allready in the league well, but I can't see how your club will with simpltons like you involved in the running of the club...

By the way Power04 please don't fold your club with the view to come to the Gardens were
FULL!!! Plus were Div.1 sunday & you would even make the bench in our C-Team....

Gee nugget I'm so disappointented, you've shattered all my dreams and disillusioned me

Div 1 sunday was one thing, but not too make your C team bench, aaahha booo hooo hooo

I've seen RBE play last year and I would say that you're wrong, a couple of them would make the bench.

[Wraith]

Hawkesy, not even Alan Shearer in his prime would make Nuggett's team.

[nugget66]

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here, can you explain in english?

There are New & Old Clubs in our Association struggling for playing numbers let alone quality, also there struggling for club vollenteers, & facilities...
So why let more clubs into our Association only to face the same problems existing clubs are why not help the the struggling clubs... that's what i wrote!

Is that in plain enough English for you.

You make it sound like your club is a role model....

P.G.S.C is a foundation member of the SAASL,
One of the longest serving 1st Div. clubs in the League.
4x 1st Div. LEAGUE TITLES, 4x COKE A COLA CUPS. 1x DOUBLE DOUBLE. 3x TEMPLIN CUPS.
It is a full time sporting club supporting mens & womans football, & it has grown to one on the biggest junior clubs in E&D winning club of the year in 2008.
It has a cricket club & indoor sports teams including 8ball & darts.
It's a financially sound club with great facilities & great club structure with massive supporter base.

So why would I....who's the

Only ever played against your reserves, don't think I've ever been on a losing side. PG is a good club though, I nearly came up to you guys instead of comets. It was the free beer for players over the bar, that nearly persuaded me to travel north.

[Lucas Leiva]

Sorry nugget, but if your club was so great you would've done what Cove just did.

And all clubs need a point of origin - just like you said, you were a foundation member, but all that means is that a generation back then were willing to start a team and breed like crazy to keep it going for decades to come...we're just starting the breeding program now

Yeah, it took the Greeks 5,000 years to turn their women the other way around!

(sorry couldn't resist, but Nugget66 get a grip. None of these teams are within your 'catchment' area of players.)

i don't think he's specifically talking about his team, just the sport in general.

I see his point, but I also think he's wrong. It won't dilute the top teams because apart from a few exceptions, the player who signs for RBE is not looking to play for PG or even wanderers (to use someone in a similar catchment area), they want to play with their mates or at a specific level rather than playing for a team at the top level.

I'm sure PG are decent enough blokes (certainly never had a problem on the pitch with them) but I wouldn't go there because I'm happy enough at my own club. I could get in their reserves of that I'm pretty sure, but for the same reason I wouldn't join RBE first team, I'm pretty happy where I am. Let's see after a season in division 4 if i feel the same though.

Good luck to you but you wont do it without juniors these days if you want to build a strong club long term.

Sunday league is very strong and its not easy to get to div 1 many never do some it takes ages The Cove were in Sunday league but they like others take the easy road to div 1 by playing in Sat league (Adel Villa an exception). As for state league its an expensive exercise for little gain lets see how long it lasts and they'd take anyone in that comp FFSA need more rego fees.

congratulations Hawkesy you must be the only one that understands plain English...

Im not talking about my club it's fine, I'm talking about the association in general. I find it hard to believe that especially clubs struggling for players dont get it. I understand people want to play with there mates, & at there own level
but why do they have to start a new club to do that when there in 140 in our association? To say that new clubs dont have any effect on the amount of new players clubs get off the street is stupid & nieve... You only have to look at the metro league, why dont they just start 10 new clubs? Why.....
because there isn't the players, support & structure available to do that.
take out 20 clubs from our association & then what would happen? there would be a influx of players to other clubs...
It's not rocket science....

[TheWingBack]

There's a big problem for clubs like Gardens and others in Div 1 Sunday to follow the Cove and go FFSA, it's called fences. The FFSA demands that all State League and above clubs have fenced pitches and grounds on which to play, amongst many other items, and most SAASL clubs use public grounds that are owned and managed by the local council. So unless you are very lucky and the council is very nice it's highly unlikely that you can get a public oval fenced off for a single clubs usage.

Knowing the grounds at Gardens well, it would take a quality oval away from the general public, plus as teams continue they need to get seating, etc and can you see stands being put into the middle of a public oval and again reducing the ground availability and lastly, they play cricket there on that lovely concrete wicket so a fence next to it wouldn't help the game.

This same issue would apply to many clubs who could potentially go State/Premier/Super League and from my experience with Gardens they have the facilities, money, support and people to do it. Just compare their clubrooms to many others.

It will happen one day in fact we could probably do it tomorrow but the way the soccer landscape is at the moment no point jumping in like Cove just to say we are in federation. All going well down at the Gardens dont need to have the FFSA sticker on our door to say we are on the soccer pathway.

Come down on the next few Sundays and see the number of people coming down to enjoy good local soccer you dont need a grandstand the one at Marden is always empty so whats the point of building one.

There would be many clubs that would love to have an oval like ours its nice and green

[nugget66]

funny that those of you like Power04 that strongly disagree with my views on new club's entering the SAASL,

& by the way it's new club's entering, not existing new clubs!

can't explain why they disagree & put forward points why new clubs are good for the Association.

Instead they just dribble on about crap.....

would make you think, are they just simpletons.....



YES.

[Wraith]

I think you're a simpleton too nuggett

[nugget66]

I think you're a simpleton too nuggett

& I think your a . head.

now what? better bait...

[Wraith]

We could go on all day saying what we think of each other.

So, i think i'll go find something better to do.

[To Mati]

Cmon cry babies... who cares if there are new clubs? More people are playing the game now than ever before. Every club has started from nothing - even Parafield Gardens. Parafield Gardens like many other new clubs back in the day were lucky enough to establish themselves in an era of very little competition...a clear head start.

[Twitchyarry]

I dont see the problem, its not like a new club is going to steal enough existing players from established clubs to put that club into problems, its just the same ol clubs doing the rounds. You will never have too many teams for too long because the clubs with not enough players/revenue will fold.

[nugget66]

this is the thing...
We are a established club with great facilities & structure so really I couldn't give a rats how many clubs the SAASL let's in; you right aint going to affect us one bit I just don't think it's a good thing to happen for the struggling clubs for obvious reasons your just going to have the round about of new clubs. I might be right, I my be wrong? Good luck to all the clubs struggling i hope you pull through. Elizabeth fields is a great example in DIV.1 2 years before they folded???

[Missing Post Count]

all I'm saying is that the league should limit the amout of new clubs they let in each year, that's all!!!

I couldn't give a rats how many clubs the SAASL let's in

Okay, which one is it?
