BSA junior scheduling question

362,
I firmly believe BSA try their best, but need to have a look at a few issues re scheduling. It probably gets down to money in a lot of cases, but each team should have the right to home games at their home stadium. For example, having some Mavs teams play their "home" games at Wayville or MV is a little crazy.

I question whether the north/south or east/west zone that BSA talked about will ever be implemented, or whether it will be left alone. The cynic in me thinks the north zone would be interesting with a number of clubs, but the south zone would see too many club teams play their fellow teams - OK if you like beige.

I believe there is still a big question mark over how the Pro/Rel system for Div 3-6 is managed. The devil is in the detail and without knowing too much of the detail, I think the way the Vics do it is by a game between the pro and rel team - sudden death style of game. Worth a go seeing as though no finals occur in summer.

The U16 Div 3-6 is an abnormality at the moment and consideration should be given to moving these Divs to Saturday morning if there is insufficient stadium space on Friday night. Thursday nights is not a real good option for some. U20s is probably OK during the week as some kids have Ps and can drive themselves, but U16s are generally year 8 - 9 with some yr 10s.

You can't please everyone all of the time, but it is interesting to see how some are pleased more than others

Since when is Morphett Vale 'Outer Suburban"? Get real. And Anon 9082 why save you from MV refs- and havent you received the memo- refs travel to DIFFERENT stadiums each week! Its funny, Southern teams expected to got to Hillcrest, MARS, Dome without complaining BUT get anyone to come 20 mins up the hill and its the end of the world. As was stated- you signed up to visit all stadiums when you play away so stop the whining.

Main reson Nutter is all the comments on "MV is sooooooo far" etc, like it isnt Aldinga or Sellicks, its 20 mins up the road from Marion and Pas. I agree, utilise the 4 courts and from what i have heard about MLC it is crap. But what can you do, the powers that be at BSA dont listen. And its true about getting refs- why travel for a couple of nothing games. I think Southern may need to approach BSA and see if perhaps the scheduling can be fairer and not so dare i say Wayville biased.

When they re-opened the Stadium they used court 1
