Around 5K each with maybe a little extra for each once auditor has assessed what other $$$$ are to flow in from unpaid bills.
Auditor did take club reps. through the financial pages.
Lightning Premiership as a season starter still not 100 % certain to go ahead. More to come on this one.

Is a great person Steve, his advice and support has been much appreciated since I met him during his time at Seymour. Anyone who plays under Steve would get a lot out of the experience IMO
 
Good turn out for the first trainning at GFNC last night.
Plenty of young blokes keen and a couple of old faces back Big show and J.Barham it will be great to see them back in the red, White and Blue for 08

They will be staying put if the Ballarat FL Board listens to their clubs. The fight is more serious than reported in the papers, some clubs considering legal action. However I find it hard to work out their slant in regard to a legal proceeding.

The whole issue is based on their fears that they will once again dominate the league as they used to. The VCFL really need to step in and make it happen, but the old toothless tiger is always reluctant to force someone into something.

There was a rumour that Sunbury were going to leave the Ballarat League in 2009. This is totally unfounded and they are more than happy to stay in the Ballarat Football League.

If North City do leave where would the BFLs 10th club come from???? May never happen I would suggest.

It opens the door for Strathfieldsaye.

Bendigo FL chairman Damian Drum had an in-depth conversation with me last week regarding the following problem for the BFL. I posted a couple of articles back in August (got a lot of feedback) about the VCFL's future plans for leagues in the central Victoria area. I'm talking Bendigo, Ballarat, Riddell, Heathcote, Maryborough Castlemaine and Central Highlands. I was pretty frank to Mr Drum because I think for the Bendigo and Ballarat FL's to prosper, I think they need to sacrifice the standard of the competitions. Let's face it, Sunbury and Gisborne will be metro clubs within 5-10 years. What defines a good competition is not the quality of players that make up each senior side, it is about the competitiveness. Families and fans don't care if the FF drops a mark a better FF would have taken, they care about seeing their side have a fair dinkum chance of winning each week. The best and most intriguing competitions in Country Footy are those that each side can win on their day, when every side is a shot at making the finals. I haven't watched much BFL in the last two years, but the reality of country footy these days is that high-standard footballers are dwindling, and the cost to get these superstars is rapidly increasing. Should the BFL go back to becoming a predominantly Bendigo-side mix with a couple of clubs from the outer area to make it a little bigger. I've got no doubts that the likes of Maryborough, Castlemaine and Kangaroo Flat will be "up there" in the future.

Just my thoughts, what do you guys think?
 
Unfortunately Bendigo lost Northern United and Nth Bendigo and Strathdale-tried Lockington and did'nt work. Meanhile Ballarat lost Beaufort,Daylesford and East and Golden Point merged. I would argue both leagues were better befoe they gained new clubs and were decentralised. Although there were teams that struggled in both leagues at the time the comp seemed stronger

Matt you make a lot of sense, but someone needs to drive this and having dealt with the VCFL on numerous occasions they definitely don't have the balls.
