Could be hard to keep the team motivated, plenty of cups etc I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no reasons given though so someone is pulling ur leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you had heard the reasons why they kept getting rejected, then your gaffer says they haven't been given any reasons. One of you is talking nonsense.. I just thought his standing in the club, would make his statement seem more legit, therefore, yours would be nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sa2109 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Have you been told you are starting in the lower leagues already? I'd be stunned if the SAFL didn't stick you in the top division, but to be honest I've no idea of the politics involved in making a decision like that.We will be in whatever league the committee put us in we obviously Hope league reconstruction goes ahead and we have a chance of being in premier in one year if not we will respect the decision and go about our business as normal. We are very grateful to the safl for giving us a fresh challenge and being very professional and welcoming each time we have met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be stunned if you were put in the bottom league, that's no good for the teams already there or for you guys. I reckon the top teams will want you in the top division and the teams in the lower leagues defo won't enjoy getting pumped by a major finalist, also removes their chance of winning the league.

Relegate an extra team ? Do not promote a team that earned it? Or just increase the number of teams in the premier? Tbh I think all of they suggestions would be unfair and go against the constitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 You can't just stick them in the top league because you want to. They will need to earn promotion like everyone else. That's the downside of wanting to move leagues. Screw over someone who has been a member of that association for years just to accommodate a newcomer? If they pump everyone in 1st season then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the SAFL leagues at the moment are pretty unbalanced, I also reckon most teams want to play at a level which allows them to compete. I don't think anyone in the league set up should be screwed over so if that's the only way to do it then no I wouldn't be up for that, but I believe they increased the top league numbers this season only for one of the teams to fold before it started, maybe they'll do that again.

I've never saw Pennies play, but they are in a major final. I've played against and saw pretty much every team in the SAFL and if they go in that bottom league they will win every game, I have zero doubt about that. I get why they would go in at the bottom but personally I believe it benefits no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amateur Footie Fan Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I've never saw Pennies play, but they are in a major final.

I get why they would go in at the bottom but personally I believe it benefits no one. SAFL used to have a Premier (1 & 2) and non premier Leagues (1, 2 & 3??) Teams who were mid table in the non premier Leagues got promoted into the Premier League because they wrote a nice letter to the Committee whilst teams in the non premier above them in the league were stepped over, nonsense situation. I believe it was challenged under whatever the SAFA rules were and they promptly scrapped premier/non premier and promotion went by merit and not any other reason. No one will go in at any level of the SAFL other than the bottom No matter how good or how much money they pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mouth Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Speaking of the safl whats happened to goldenhill? Last years scottish cup finalists not even being mentioned this year in terms of league challengers. I’m sure I read somewhere that they signed a few good ex junior players. I guess they just haven’t been at it this season? Always a hard team to beat in seasons gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsey Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Good luck to both teams tonight. Pennies would have been fancied to be there or there about at the start of the season while ESV wouldn’t have been fancied by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCBino Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Well done to Pennies. Deserved 2-0 winners. Apart from a possible penalty shout after a decent first 15 mins Vics were second best. Still a very strong team mind. Pennies finally fulfilling their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
