mergers !

Smithy my man

Great to see a passionate supporter. No doubt the great white Southerners would do much better with more people of your enthusiasm. Myself I have no allegiance but just enjoy basketball. Being an oldie from the seventies, I actually remember the good days and look on in horror at the mess the game now finds itself in due to the vested interests of many selfish clubs. I cannot wait for the day that the game is again controlled by an independent board and decisions are then made for the betterment of the game. Hopefully my grandkids, yours and then theirs will be able to enjoy the game again.
ABA crowds are irrelavent in todays environment. I suppose I could say Southern draw the biggest crowds because demographically outside of centrals they have more unemployed per capita in the area. But that may be a bit unfair.

Let the debate continue and may all clubs juniors improve for the betterment of the game

Smithy - I do apologize. Southern should actually run a domestic regional comp to feed South and Sturt ............

No good being the second largest junior club if you have the biggest dills running it. With the merger and opportunity your club has had over the past 18 months ??? What a waste ........

A bit like the South Adel footy club - must be something in the air down that way.

Debate ....... what a wonderful thing.

Pretty simple really - go back to one central point for games on a weekly basis. Forget this home and away garbage. SA quite simply does not have the population. Get rid of the last 3 teams in - Woodville, Centrals and Mavs. Tell Southern too stop shooting tghemselves in the foot with dumb management and get their act together. Concentrate on div 1 and 2 in all ages and have regional comps for any one else.

It is about time the weak were left to tumble. Thank god for Foley and co. Let us now hope now that the clubs that cost everyone money are too be banished. Better still - West, Sturt, Norwood, South, North, Forestville - we only need 6.

Problem solved
