2013 NBN State League Thread

you are exactly right in that Lakes shouldn't be in the comp if these rumors are true.

But my opinion is that no one club in the league has the facilities to warrant continuously holding the grand final. It is now common knowledge that the club holding the grand final doesn't make any money *cough* *cough* (hard typing that sentence). There are a couple of clubs that offer the basic needs to holding a grand final in terms of facilities. So why shouldn't they be able to hold the grand final?

This is not a professional league. It is made up of hard working volunteers that do a great job, and players who have to work regular job and play football as a hobby. Why shouldn't the honor of holding the grand final be spread around to the clubs that have the basic requirement to hold the grand final? I mean Magic do not offer anything that other clubs do not offer. Sure their facilities are fantastic but on a personal note i wouldn't care if the grand final was held at Edgy, Lakes, Jaffers, even Weston ( little far to drive) from a spectators point of view. .

Immersion,
When has anybody said that magic dont make money on grandfinal day ?
what they make is benifet for the work they put in the facility throughout the years.
Now edgy have it how many whinges will there be next about them..

And please dont come back with a comment like, its because they host all these granfinals thats
why they have the best faciltys,
mate they had a good setup way before hosting the grandfinals.

and yes i played for edgy when EDGY held the grandfinals years ago and also when magic hosted the first couple of grandfinals.
as a player on big days like that i have to take my hat off to magic , they are blessed with the facilty,location,catering ground management etc. the best by FAR
