Stadium Admission Fees rise Again!

I have tried to follow the nearly 100 posts on this issue, but i have stated this point earlier in a thread over a month ago - The pay increase last time was due to the fact of covering players insurance. Now that it has gone it should have been adjusted apprporiately throughout the competition in all aspects. Therefore, the money that was going to player insurance could have reasonably be given to umpires and referees, hence no reason why the amount to pay-to-play is to be increased. As a referee, coach and player myself, I am for development for referees as they are an essential asset to this competition, but so are players and spectators, and if there is going to be this much furore, there is a chance the competition could fold itself.

If everyone is so against it, contact the ACCC. It is about time BASA were held completely accountable to the competition and the people themselves directly involved in it. Get them to answer questions- why wasnt there a decrease in admission fees when the player insurance was abolished? Why is there such an increase across the board?

I play 3 games a week $9 a game is rediculous. its gonna cost $27 a week. No insurance either which is the sore point, if they covered that then you would assume it was kinda OK. what also bites it you then play a whole season and lose the grand final and you dont even get a runners up trophy.
its pathetic.
its nearly enough to turn me to play streetball at nights in summer. Time to start organising some pickup games at the local outdoor courts.
catch ya.

Just how much is Ron Green charging to 'develop' officials.
Does anybody know roughly how much BASA will make over 12 months with these large increases and not paying insurance?
It wasn't the local players who got them into finance and salary problems, but the kid paying high club fees and the interested family member will now be stung again.
