Do you like talking to yourself? Do you like continually talking about the same topic? Do you watch football games from outside the perimeter fence to avoid paying entry fees? Do you like reliving past glories over and over and over and over? If so then this is the forum might be for you. You can grind your axes to your hearts content in this forum.

There is no choice for afl fans they never go to HAL matches winter or summer statistics already show this.
Ok then should local leagues go summer to properly align the game top down?
Just over 90,000 in round one, still not enough for JD.
He wants to return to winter NSL system, good luck.
Please, do not twist the debate, we are on the same page, I would like to see a very successful HAL League and local leagues.
However there is a local league dilemma and Junior Fees are becoming unsustainable because of this.
Recently I talked to some parents who rang me up for some advice.
I said to them you have no choice pay the fees for your child to play FFSA Junior Under 10's soccer in Adelaide, and to my amazement the asking fee was well over $600 per annum.
It was my FREE in my era eg 1970's.
In this debate I have stated that playing HAl in Summer does not equate to increased crowds from AFL. Because AFL people in general do not go to the so called "Wog Ball" game. Now this sounds questionable the tag I heard recently from a person. But this is fact that is what our World Game is still called in Ozz.
OK the crowds for the opening of the HAL were reported as good but they should be better iof the game is to attract "Sports People" to watch.
Sports People are lovers of sport. But sadly I do not see this in Ozz there is a market that is just AFL, not AFL and HAL spectators.
So as I have debated in trying to gel the HAL and local Leagues in one season is the big dilemma in the game to move forward. Either both in winter or both in summer or???
Because the game at grass roots is becoming unsustainable in fees and crowd numbers at local games are non existent.

Obviously the stunt double has been called in
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
AU is a Budget Club and any new coach needs to work within these limits.
Destined for failure ..........
The AU hierarchy should read the book called " Game Theory"?
Then implement strategy of team play mindset for winning goals as a team heading in the same direction.
JK understood this.
You can have an average bunch of players winning only if they believe in themselves and for this to happen they have to have the winning mindset .
Another example WAH 1978 nsl championship win.
This was not a great team but a team that played as a unit.
Another strategy AU needs to adapt is to be seen out and about in Adelaide as a team when it is not playing or training eg at pubs, restaurants and clubs . Coopers is the Stadium they play under and they need to help the cause. Having party down time is also good for team spirit . Plus it also promotes the club and Adelaide the City .
Some good for thought.
I would rather support a budget club that spends within its means and is around for many years to come, than one that spends more than it earns and goes bust without paying its debts (I'm looking at you WAH mark 1)
Too hot for soccer today and nothing better to do than pick on old man JD ? A disgrace.
Better complain to the FFSA for starting the season too early since climate change is here ???
All those changes put in place by the FFSA ........?????? Not working well....
