Ahh k, I was not their for the pre season game was in melb for the a league final. Was just curious about the bottom pitch because I have noticed it doesn't get used any more not even with the juniors, dont you have club rooms down near that pitch?[/quote]
Club rooms down next to that pitch are for the rugby side I was told however it is indeed a quality pitch and i would suggest that if Munno Para had access to the bottom clubrooms it would certainly be in their best interest to move to that pitch rather than where they are.
.......................................A LITTLE OFF THE TOPIC..............................................
With so many new housing developments in the North and Gawlers poor effort as a federation club it could be the perfect opportunity for Munno Para to expand their junior development and grow their club to be as big as most others around.
I was talking recently with the CEO of FFSA and he was saying that there were a couple of clubs in the Northern/North Eastern suburbs they wanted to try and bring on board as a result of certain clubs either leaving the league or being asked to leave. With a bigger junior setup and they already have a womens team Munno Para would be the perfect candidate.
JUST A THOUGHT

Now Tips:
Knights v
Beach - West Beach are a good side and you can be sure that Southern Knights biggest weapon at home wont effect these lads. 3 - 1 (West to enjoy the Sea Breeze)
Vikings v
East - Not that Viking arent a decent side but heard talk around the place there are a few players from East that want nothing less than promotion 2 - 0
Munno Para v Raptors - Raptors still lack that spark they had last year, any chance you can fly him back from Melbourne once a week?? 3 - 0
Gully v
Grove - Both strong, aggressive teams this will be the one to watch on Sunday! 1 - 1 (At least 3 Red cards in the A's and B's on Sunday)
Vista v San Marco -
Should be a matter of rocking up and scoring the goals for a high flying Vista side but if they play the way I saw them against Angle Vale it could be very difficult to beat a San Marco team that
CAN play 3 - 1[/quote]
My dad is a life and founder member of munno para. the reason why we dont apply for the federation because the association fees are expensive and they expect the club to have proper security facilities, eg. fencing around the club facilities, seating for 1500 people. We would rather be a family club and a strong amature club.[/quote]
If you spent $10,000 Munno Para would have a lot better facilities than 70% of federation clubs. The potential is enormous.[/quote]
the reason why we dont spend $10,000 on our club is because the council dont fund soccer in the northern suburbs as much as they do with the local footy, they should spend even amounts of money on ALL local sports. Us at Munno Para paid and installed volunterally flood lights and fencing without any financial support from the Playford council
