The White-Ant Files #12 - Solvency Notices

Remove this Banner Ad

12- From 1993 the AFL issued a number of solvency notices where the club had to satisfy AFL criteria that they could meet their financial debts for the next 12 months or their AFL licence would be withdrawn.

Guess who was the only club to get a solvency notice. That's right, Fitzroy.

We were issued notices under this AFL solvency rule, which meant that if the AFL commission considered a club MAY not have been able to pay it's debts, and the said club could not prove to the AFL's satisfaction that it was able to meet financial commitments for the next twelve months, their AFL licence could be removed.

Fitzroy received several solvency notices from the AFL, despite many of the Victorian clubs having higher debts. Obviously, different standards were applied to us. You can guess why.

Compiled by Roylion and stated by he, and often by Wonaeamirri33, to argue against ignorance when discussing Fitzroy's AFL fate.
