hey slapper(or should i say your m.u.m) never complained about your pitch at all just about the match balls but you always have to make it about the wanderers well i couln't give a cabernet about the wanderers your not worth talking about anymore!
I'm telling you & your team mates to stop whinging about balls, pitches, our team whinging etc
I'm also saying I don't have any problem with match balls, just adapt to what is given on game day (league supplied balls or not).
Wait 'til u play at the Africans ground where almost a third of the pitch doesn't have grass - more complaints then...?
Get on with it!!
Slapper - below is posted from someone from your club isn't it ...he even acknowledged the fact that the balls are crap and raised it with the league . Seems to me that the only one whinging is you It's a pity as your team/club obviously is doing very well (top of league in the firsts) unfortunately this will not be acknowledged by other clubs as you and your club mates do not know of the word Humility and how to act even when you have won a game
I know you will come back with your usual feral remarks but sticks and stones.
The point was raised at the SAASL AGM (by me) about the apparent, as at that time we had not used them, lack of quality of the new balls. I asked the question was it simply financial issues taken into account when choosing a ball supplier and as with anything to do with finances, or in the slightest controversial, no real answer was given.
Mitre balls from years ago were better, Errea balls from last year were better... lets just hope BP doesn't decide to throw some sponsorship $$$ the leagues way or we'll all be playing with service station balls next season.
We asked to help professionalise and lift the standard of the league with club officials/marshals/referees, are constantly asked to pay extra for everything else and the balance sheet of the league continues to grow, so to be told we must play with inferior quality equipment, especially something so fundamental to the game as the ball, is unacceptable.
Next the league will sign a deal with Dunlop and it will be a requirement that all players wear Volleys to play in.
I'll be retired so it doesn't bother me too much, but at least everyone will be equal.
