Whole lot of spin in that article
Whole lot of spin in that article
Anyone heard the rumour that magic have told all their incoming girls that they have to pay rego and no one is getting paid.. I do hope this is just a rumour or at least I’ve missed a big chunk of the story..
I really hope that NNSWF are not so dumb that they don’t realise what is happening here and put some type of protections in place for the girls so they are not just used up in order to facilitate the opportunity for these clubs to obtain additional funding opportunities over the next couple of years then promptly shown the door.
Will be interesting to see where the now Olympic WPL play games.
Have heard they will play out of Islington Park.
Magic charging players from 14’s up $300 for kit plus $1500 registration.
Will quickly see the real motivation why these clubs are taking on women’s football.
Completely different program. Only 4 teams, no supporting SAP, less operating costs, dramatically less player wages, no facility standards and more closely aligned to ‘community’ football than NPL - while the aim is to raise these standards over time.
Refer to earlier comment about motivation.
Funny the letter we were provided said otherwise.
Thanks for clarifying.
$1500 instead of $1800?
Much more reasonable.......
I am fairly certain Wallsend were approaching Olympic about it rather than it being something that was forced upon them.
If they are playing out of Islington Park and not Darling St than that is an issue, may as well stay at The Gardens, and makes a mockery of the need to be in better facilities so it can be a Premier League.
Indeed Magic and Olympic are happy to do it because it means more money and more grant money they can get by saying they promote Women's sport. It's why Adamstown every now and then asked Adamstown Juniors to take over their WPL team, get the money.
WPL Draw out today. 9 out of 10 Olympics home games to be played at Darling St. 10th TBC.
