another question..........is there subs or interchange

dj_no.1 · Post by **dj_no.1** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 8:47 pm

interchange , could start division 7 aswell, i think the leagues below are all c grade teams, no change rooms could be a problem, others on this forum would know more than me but entering a team there is quite a lot of work involved

In 2006 I played in div 2 against a team called Pumas. They didn't have any changerooms. However, that is the only team I have played against without them.

Hey NORTHSIDE is this you dreaming again

There should be some basic standards that clubs have to meet in the SAASL. I am all up for new clubs forming , and there has been some successful clubs start up in the past few years (Gryphons, Wanderers, Asteras to name a few). Clubs without basic facilities (changerooms, running water, hot showers) should not be admitted to the league.

Agree.

Mate there's over 150 culbs in the amateur league! surely there would be one that suits you & your mates!

Paleon Patros Germanos · Mon Nov 12, 2007 2:39 pm

Have to agree with you on that one Aldo.

There are supposed to be basic requirements but the league does not follow them.

nugget66 · Post by **nugget66** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 3:37 pm

why dont you start your own league as well!

Have to agree with bloodypassit, running a team takes alot more than turning up on sunday, and unless you got afew sponsors to pay the bills throughout the year you find that it wont be cheap either.

My advice is if you wanna play in the the lower leagues with your mates go
to an existing club around your area and became there C team.

Anyway good luck to ya with what ever u do.

INTERISTA · Post by **INTERISTA** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:00 pm

A option is to going the Collegiate League A2 div as it only requires one team apposed to two in SAASL and the fees are considerably less. Only problem is you'd have to rep a school or uni / tafe.

well home ground is at CCSS and we do have have change rooms.....( and all the running water you want) dnt worry we have been planing this 4 a long time we no wats involved just wanted to no a few details.............

Didnt an african team do this in Div 1 a few years back. I remember going to watch our C grade play, forget who against, but the team they were playing were playing in different strips, had different supporters, and no one stayed around to watch the ressies and A grade. Want till later I found out that it was kind of a club, within a club. Specially with some clubs in the higher divs unable to field a C grade team, this may be an option for the guys for at least a few years.

Yeah that was NAB with the African C team.

stell see what I meen about smoking & writting sh*t it dosn't mix

Paleon Patros Germanos · Tue Nov 13, 2007 12:47 pm

I was actually doing some sums last night and it cost us approx $12,000 to get the team onto the park.

And that didnt include the purchase of playing kits and gross expenses for functions and the canteen.

So Stell it can cost quite a bit.

Player payments? Isn't this the AMATEUR league?

Paleon Patros Germanos · Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:54 pm

No player payments in that figure
