wow big news...which station you hear it on? Much damage?

Not the sort of news you like to hear about....
Womens soccer clubs have to work hard enough to try and develop facilities etc without having to deal with things like that.

50k doesn't go far nowadays. Not a good thing but then again they're in a vulnerable spot. A few serious things have happened around that part of the City.

yeh coz there's so much vandalism that happens to the clubrooms the club had to continually pay the excess on getting them fixed so im guessing it was just costing them too much. just a guess but

awwwwwwwwwwwww poor city... i really feel sorry for them.

maybe we can have a fundraiser for them so they can get back on their feet again...

Shizer... Im so devo..! Regardless that i dont play for the club atm its still so bad... All our league trophies, Kanga Cup trophies, photos, pictures, newspaper clippings.. dont forget there is smoke and water damage throught the whole club room so all of Chic's medical stuff has gone including strapping tapes, oinments and the ultrasound machine which arnt the cheapest things around to buy are all gone! Pretty much everything is gone including all the balls, new coffee machine, drinks and normal food fridge, booze, chip fryer, food warmers, cones, bibs, ball compressor pump and i think pitch marking machines (again not cheap)................ pretty much the only things saved were a couple of old strips!

When they say its $50,000... Believe me i work in the Insurance Industry and it adds up quickly because that amount includes not only Contents but also Structural works and the clubroom does look like it will need to be knocked down due to the structure damage inside...

Still regardless not a lot of clubs do have contents insurnace because it is a high premium and the excess is also very high... City does have Building Insurance but all those things like the general stuff can be replaced...

Sucks though because all the work done in fundraisers and stuff like that is just gone in a flash but i think what is the worst is all the photos and trophies and that kinda thing... stuff everyone worked so hard for

Talking to all the girls yesterday and we're all so devo... its the worst!

hey lets all organise some night to help city get back on there feet... if i have to organise it i dont have a problem, but tha poor girls have nuthin and as much as it probably looked like a sh!t hole... it really wasnt and the ppl behind da scenes put in a lot of effort and for that to happen im sure tha girls/parents/delegtes ect. are devestated... so lets help em and put a night togetha to get em bak on their feet yeah??

KrAzY · Post by **KrAzY** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:26 am

I dont play there nemore either and im devo about it i can only imagine how sad the girls are about this! You idea isnt too bad shorty

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:39 am

we should do something.... its the thought that counts at tha end of the day....

Unretired · Post by **Unretired** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:46 am

Maybe on the SAWSA presentation night we could pass around a collection plate and raise some money for them then.

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:49 am

not a bad idea the route i was goin along too...

Unretired · Post by **Unretired** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:53 am

Another idea is if someone wants to donate something of value we could do a raffle and all the money raised could go to Adelaide City.

I will check with my club to see if we could get a collection going this weekend at the Zone championships.

Post by **John Cena** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:54 am

why dont we get on to the FFSA and ask for a charity match to be played before adel united game and ask for a gold coin donation

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:57 am

DEFINATELY coyote.... like i said maybe the sawsa team of da year vs anutha made up team...

and mrs trainer if you need help organising that thing for zone i can help out if you like???
