About 15 years ago ?
That checks, about when I left the coast ?
Wow how old is Rosie now? One of my favourite players of all time.
They used to be shit then money got pumped in (DMC) and they have been dominant.
Killarney has won the last 7 premierships.
Are they owned by CFG
90% of the paid players actually left when they got relegated, Div 1 is quite weak these days. They actually got back up on merit. They’re paying to try blow the comp out of the water, which as I’ve said before is hilarious. As far as I’m aware and I could be wrong but Kilarney famously don’t pay players and arguably have had better 1st grade line ups than CCU in the past.
Div1 has been weak for a long time.
I mean, a huge factor of that is the better coastie’s go play somewhere in newy or Sydney for some cash and the younger ones in the mariners academy etc
With most clubs around the $400 mark or more for adults this season and kids $200 - $250 the idea of anyone paying senior players in a central coast based comp is sickening. The players that make up the bulk of your player base rarely give a crap about grade and aren't choosing a club based on it.
Eesh.895 for u10 academy in brisbane. FQPL4 at that too, so nowhere near NPL.
I'm not referring to any academy program just the basic grassroots club membership to play in the CCF local comp for Gosford / Kariong / Wyong etc.. on a Saturday morning and train with a volunteer coach who may or may not know anything about football. SAP or private academy fees would be extras and CCU's program for example looks to be $360 per school term on top of rego. Not sure what they charge for their junior sides but can't imagine its much less if less at all than what you're quoting.
Exactly right
$495 at gosford this season. Thought about lacing the boots up for an illustrious* comeback, saw the rego fees, and put the boots back away.
Except when the grounds get closed everytime it even looks like rain. ?
It's all relative and should be compared to other types of entertainment/ exercise.
450 if you get in before the early bird cut off, includes ref fees too. And that's still expensive, at 495 entire teams will walk and the club loses more money even 450 has my current 35s team considering it. I'm hoping the hike is temporary and they can get their house in order and put some downward pressure on it for next season.
