The tracksuits sound dope.

Thats ok mate, no worries.

As you know, we are big on our tracksuits.

Absolutely no players are paid. There's heaps of perks though, like sick adidas tracksuits and endless good times. But the sole reason players join is because of mates/family. We don't hold any open trials and its strictly invite only.

I'll Vehemently defend my Club when people single it out to criticize. If that's crying then I'm happy to be salty.

How was it a critisism? Merely stating that our rego is $100 cheaper.

Far out princess, if you're this much of a snowflake I suggest you stay out of the sun :rof:

It's was criticism because the discussion was about rego cost and you stated ours is higher than yours, the implication is there weather you intended it or not.

It's interesting that you have quickly gone from someone who relies on what you have heard about Azzurri to someone who is the know of whats going on at your club.

Who did everyone draw in the cup?

Azzurri have drawn Jesmond. I'm predicting Jesmond to win by double figures.

After the track suit recruitment drive you are not even backing yourself to beat the West Waratah Rams? Low.

With all the excess cash getting thrown about we might pick a few spare notes off the floor and pay the child’s school and future uni fees.

Ps what a master stroke that was

Surely no need to go to uni when the kid can take over Dad's concreting business?

That was genius. Literally scored in the last seconds of the match. If it wasn't for the ball boy those seconds would have been chewed up chasing the ball all over Hamilton. By the way, is it weird to pay ball boys? You seem surprised that someone would come up with such a groundbreaking idea as to pay ball boys.

Things ball boys normally get:

Meat pie and a can of coke.
Kicked
Pushed over

Things ball boys don't usually get:

Cash.

We always pay our ball kids. Good way for them to make some pocket money and it really makes a big difference to the flow of the game. $10 a day doesn't exactly break the bank.

There isn't enough money in the world to pay the ball boys for the amount of time it would take them to find that ball that Wilso hoofed into the bush at Lance Yorke..

Yep we pay ours as well. They play a huge part in matches and really at this level it should be compulsory.

Welcome to zone league football. Some clubs aren't the sharpest tools in the sheds as you can see. Glad you guys made the jump, good luck this year.

Surely most clubs have the odd 0.00098577 bitcoin to give to the ballboys for helping out on game day. I really don't see the issue here.

Think you'll find Stockton will be a bit higher than that. Westlakes will stink again, heard they lost a couple of decent players.

Not so sure about that. They might lose a few players when they find out the club is charging them extortionately high rego fees :rof:

They did give us a bit of a touch up but they have some very very good players, some who have recently played at a much higher level and wouldn't shock me if they give this comp a good crack. Luckily results only matter once the season proper kicks off......

Suppose it justifies Azzurris jump up to ID1. No point in winning by cricket scores every week. ID2 is a pretty poor comp so its good that the association was proactive in promoting them up 2 divs especially with some of the players they are attracting. I still dont think they will go anywhere near winning it this year but hopefully they will at least be competitive. The more competitive teams we have the better football in newcastle will be.

Wallsend had a trial against Bero ZPL at Bero yesterday, was a hot day and mostly good football except for the first half of ressies where the ref lost control of the game.

First 4 or 5 - 0 - Bero
Ressies 3 - 2 - Bero, Wallsend up 0-2 HT
Thirds 2 - 11 or 12 - Wallsend.

Thanks to the Bero boys for hosting.
