Take a hard stance before someone gets hurt and the association is sued.

I can see why some new parent are not letting their kids play the great game when they see thugs running around and the governing body is not interested. But they will take players fee etc

Absolutely brilliant lovestowatch you are a genius how come no one else has thought of that. Of course it will probablly mean Nollamara will fold and the problem will just be moved on to a nearby club like Stirling, Osbourne Park or Kingsway.

Maybe the league should send down some senior umpires without notice or at the very least an observer. Just because they are in a lower grade should not diminish the leagues resposibility in effectively dealing with this issue methinks.

Unfortunately it is not just isolated to what happens on the field, some of Nollas spectators are ferral and just makes the situation even worse. One of their female intoxicated spectators physically pushed a boundary umpire after the grand final last year as they were approaching the changerooms. They seemed to think the umpires were racist for their side loosing by six goals....go figure!!!
