TOPIC:

The clubs has told some important full time staff this week they will no longer be requried... this includes the Full Time Club and Functions Manager. For the first time ever there wil be no full time bar manager. All to save money.

The club is in line for yet another huge loss this year, so massive cuts are being made,

The clubs in for bad times ahead I'm afraid,

How many clubs have to get into serious financial trouble before we stop living in the 70's and 80's and start making some changes for the competition to survive longer than 5-10 years?

And if $ubi had not have had that pathetic Subi Oval deal given to them by the WAFC handing them million$ of dollars for absolutely nothing every year for the last 20 odd years they would be in big strife like the rest of us!

I thought you were the controller to keep all threads on track? What does Subiacos financil position have to do with South Fremantle?

Give yourself one black mark and sit in the naughty corner for 30 minutes.

I am not full bottle on the inner workings of wafl clubs these days. But I am surprised they have full time function managers and bar managers. I think if EF shared Fremantle Oval, both clubs could work together and employ staff on a casual basis to manage both clubs functions & bars. Its common sense and it is easily achievable & cost effective. The time is long overdue for clubs to work together practically in certain area's.
The footy field rivalry is one thing, but operating smart outside of the battle field is another. For heavens sake, even the Mafia families in New York City work together when it comes to business. They just kill each other with the other stuff. But they are smart enough to understand the benefits each can bring to the other in terms of dollars.

Time to wake up

Geez go easy will ya's ....the majority of this loss came off the back of Maintenance & upkeeping facilities ... it has to be done .... we paid for it ourselves unlike some !

Yeah right!!

Our ace has always been the freehold assets we own ... too bloody right DF
