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.

I would have thought they'd need paying to play on that pudding of a pitch. Surprising as I know state league 2 players that are getting paid.[/quote]
It's a decent pitch, unless it rains or gets close to raining, or rains within a 100km radius, or someone nearby waters their garden, or someone uses their window washers on their car on Ladywood Road....
A fair distribution of wages not a slave shop rip off .
That in itself proves your lack of knowledge of current reality. Yet somehow I think you will ignore this fact and continue on your tirade of idiocy for years to come. I guess I should be grateful you pissed off from Polonia in the early 70's and imparted your mental sickness on Hellas, Comets, Florina Man City O/35's etc since. Now we have Trung bung Nguyen coffee lined up for similar ridicule. Suggest sell all shares from there. BRAVO!
I've been enjoying the read of this thread but now realize that the hijacking of it has meant its been moved to the fantasy forum lounge and not local soccer. The monty python analagies were gold even if a little off track. For me 1000 for a u8 is mindboggling and parents would have to be pretty sure if the childs desire to learn cause at this age the lessons could only be about 20 or 30 minutes long before you lost their concentration.

There would have to be some serious benefits and virtually a guarantee of tangible improvement for 1500.....maybe there is a downpayment for securing a future senior position factored in? More than likely it is charged due to results which can differ if the coaching changes. And results might be a drawcard for some but night not reflect the training and development aspect.

My son is 4 and his coaches manage to keep them on track for an hour.
Yes they work hard to do it but they do it
Paul that is very impressive to keep a group of (how many) kids' attention for an hour.....especially at that age i would gave expected a massive drop off in attention at 40 minutes unless the last 20 or so is just a scratch match or shooting at goals. If they can do that each session and the kids are attentive then what they will absorb and learn will be significantly higher than a similar group who lose attention earlier which can only mean more positives for development in the future.

What do you call forced signing of professional contracts but do not pay any wages?
That was Hellas in the 1970's.
I remember Cobra's trying to get me to sign a contract for no money also, so I changed clubs. It was not the fact of money as I played elsewhere for free. It was about giving up control for nothing.

Please post the latest fees asked at JPL clubs around Adelaide?
Why? Just so you can moan again? I was a standing next to a plum today moaning about Junior fees. He should maybe give up the amount of cigarettes he was smoking.

What has smoking got to do with junior football fees?

It just seems a silly analogy.
So, clubs can charge as much as they want as long as the person spends money elsewhere. I can justify spending money on a beer, you can't justify a club charging $1,000 for an under 8.
