Silvan move to EFL?

[fan of footy]

I doubt the club would go to certain extents because they were sulking. It would be far to hard to start up again in the future . I wonder if the league is doing anything to try and help them survive. Surely they would have to do something, after they fought so hard to get them back . Could look very bad for all parties that were involved in the recent events.

They have stated that they have plenty of Funds so that is not a problem,so what do you propose the league can do for them?The talk is they will simply go into recession for this season because they were denied their transfer-if this isn't sulking I don't know what is.

Inclined to agree, FoF, but I'm still incredulous if they have gone into recession.
Rest assured, the YVMDFL would be doing all they could to help them - IF they have been informed by Silvan!
But, after some 88 years of existence where the Cats have endured far more arduous times plus a range of other setbacks to eventually rise to the great heights of recent years.... then just roll over without a whimper...??!!...?? Nah! Too much pride and sweat has gone into the Cats by the current and immediate committees to toss in the towel for the sake of a 12 months delay! Could you imagine any club doing that?
I think - and hope - that this speculation is a little premature.

Been a little quiet in here lately. Not like those Feral Cats to have nothing to say. Maybe their having problems with their internet connections out that way. Although being a Suburb right on the (Metropoliton fringe) that sould not be a problem. Already looks like a Long Winter out that way.

The following is from a Leader News article published today.
It appears that more is to come and that the EFL considers itself to be the only league allowed to grow!
THE Eastern Football League has taken a swipe at the Victorian Country Football League after Silvan’s move to the league was overturned at an AFL Victoria appeals hearing last week.
The EFL is dissatisfied with the outcome after AFL Victoria originally accepted Silvan’s application to leave the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League.
That decision was appealed by the VCFL, on behalf of the YVMDFL, and a new hearing was held.
EFL chief executive Rob Sharpe slammed the VCFL for supporting the YVMDFL’s objection to Silvan’s transfer because of a constitutional clause that stipulates a club must give 12 months notice to join another league.
“This requirement is clearly in conflict with AFL Victoria transfer regulations,” Sharpe said on the league’s website (efl.org.au).
“Unfortunately, the VCFL has knowingly allowed their member, the YVMDFL, to maintain a rule that is clearly in conflict with the regulations governing club transfers between AFL Victoria members.
“Clearly a state-wide procedure, agreed to by all members of AFL Victoria, must hold precedence over a domestic regulation.”
Sharpe said the YVMDFL outlined, in writing, the Silvan transfer would not have jeopardised the viability of its league.
VCFL eastern area manager Ben O’Brien said AFL Victoria’s findings supported its argument.
“I wouldn’t want to comment on the EFL’s take on it,” O’Brien said.
“AFL Victoria based their decision on the geographical nature of the leagues involved, the viabilities of the leagues, community development and the future growth opportunities to (the) leagues.”
Sharpe reiterated Silvan’s future was better served by a move to the EFL.
“Silvan’s request for this transfer was driven only by a desire to help to improve the likelihood of the survival of their club,” Sharpe said.
Sharpe said several YVMDFL clubs had considered moving to the EFL amid concerns about the YVMDFL expanding its geographical reach and the long-term effect this would have on them.
In handing down its decision, AFL Victoria has recommended a review of the structure of local leagues in the outer-east, a move Sharpe has welcomed.
Silvan declined to comment on the decision until the club has formed its new committee.

Why was the move accepted in the first place then?
