I have been round the Amo's along time a seen some stupid things happen but this takes the cake!
You have basically only have 4 clubs playing in the entire fixture but Amo's decide to split and spread all 4 clubs teams over the 2 grounds/WTF!! 3 of the 4 clubs(Nth Freo, Kingsway & Wanneroo )want it but for some ridiculous reason Swan Ath don't so the Amo's won't change it. Unfortunately this has become typical of the people at the top of Amateur footy in WA. Pandering to minority instead of doing what's best for the majority! For shit sake sort this out!
Its hard enough getting all 3 sides sorted at 1 ground during the home & away season let alone spreading them over 2 grounds during finals. Think of you supporters & helpers Swan Ath and stop being Wankers!
Remember this Swan Ath "what goes around Comes around" We will remember this if you ever want a favour from us and I am sure Kingsway & Wanneroo would just as pissed as we are!!!!!!!
If there are any Swan Ath people out there who can enlighten us please do so or even better get the idiot who made the decision to rethink his position.

Unfortunately, these are the rules.

I tried to have fixtures moved last weekend for the same reason and one club said no (which is their right). We then had to play where we were allocated on two separate grounds. We have the same thing again this weekend.

I can understand why Swan Ath chose to keep the fixtures the same but it must be hard trying to supply support staff at both grounds (runners, trainers, water e.t.c.). I honestly think it will make no difference because wanneroo will win all three grades.

Happens across all grades.

North Beach are playing Wanneroo in the D2s. Wanneroo can't host due to the B Grade final at the Showgrounds so game is being played at Stirlings home ground. Stirling get the benefit of the bar and canteen revenue because they didn't make finals and will no doubt will get to cash in on hosting yet another GF this year just because they have a fence.

North Beach have 4 teams playing finals matches this week at 4 seperate grounds.

It's been really hard all season for volunteers.

I come from a Club with 4 teams (League, Reserves, Thirds and Colts).

Rarely have we all played together on one ground this season. Quite often, we have played at 3 different venues on a Saturday and usually with the Thirds fixture overlapping the League fixture.

Add to that 'stand alone' games at home, where we need to provide bar and canteen facilities, pre-game ground set up and put everything away afterwards.

Have a cry old timer, make yourself feel better. Secrets played Kwinana in both reserves and league last Saturday, both at differing grounds. With Osborne park ressies and league separated at the different grounds in this grade aswell. Not the way any of the clubs would have liked it. But you know what, that's the way the draw has gone, so just go and play the games where they're meant to be played. This post is a debacle ( no R in the word)

Isn't it based on where your position is on the ladder and the location governed by the higher League team in that final?
Thats fair enough.

We have 4 teams playing at 3 different grounds this week, but we are stoked to have all 4 teams still playing finals.
