100% if every club is set up that way it would be amazing and there would be no financial issue. But it’s simply not viable for some clubs.Was actually at Club Noble today for reasons not relevant here. I can assure you the pokies were going gangbusters.
I think what you mean is certain greeny councils that want to ban a totally legal activity (not getting into the morals of pokies, some like em some dont) unless you are a casino or Matheson type. Far be it for local clubs to get some green. The NP issue was they owned interest in gaming and their greeny council said they could not or they would not rent them the ground. They never had any at the ground at all.
To be honest if every club was set up like Club Noble and no rich prick(s) or casino existed, I am sure local sports would not have any financial issues. They remain a Non-Profit organisation where all money is invested in the Club, facilities and community.....not some Portsea mansion.
Just my opinion.
Plus I’m sure some junior clubs who are affiliated with senior clubs would have an issue with pokies and a local bar running while kids are there.
