I'm not sure whether the move towards larger clubs is a good thing - it obviously helps with things like getting grants for facilities and the like but there's something good about having a club in every suburb
I can understand why people are moving towards bigger clubs though, they tend to be better run - for example my brother's son plays at Valo now after moving from another, smaller club which I won't name - basically my brother had tried to sponsor his son's team but they never returned calls, the draw for games was never emailed, emails were never replied to, the whole place was run poorly - now my nephew plays at Valo and they're all happy, everything is being run professionally
