Just wondering on your thoughts that they folded in 77
Can remember some of the teams, Ovingham, Mansfield Park, Alberton United, Oaklands Park, Clearview, Blair Athol, cant remember the rest but i can tell you one year the boys from Brookway Park reform school also had a side

Dunno if its relevent or not but in 1987 (I think) I ran water for the Mitchell Park U18s and they played only 3 other clubs, Payneham, Norwood Districts and Athelstone.

Does anyone know how I can pick up copies of "Budgets" from the former leagues? Not having lived in Adelaide, I never got the opportunity to see any of the former leagues (GSA and NNA).

I tried for ages to get one from the NMFL in the mid-1990s in the season immediately after they folded. The last secretary said they had some and could send them to me but I never did succeed in getting any copies. The same for the comps that folded in the 80s, the closest being a fixture handbook from the SAFA in what would have been their second last or last season ... unfortunately that went missing long ago.

If it's who I think it is Phil - that lady was a VERRRY busy volunteer and was busy keeping a dying competition, and maybe even a junior competition and club going.

She may not have been arrogant - just busy.

And Phil I can promise you that the NMFL never had any 'budgets'. They had a program book each season - and maybe team sheets for finals, but that was it.

Fred Bloch can be contacted c/- Commerce Department the University of Adelaide 8303 4455. He is a wealth of knowledge and, coming from North Adelaide may have an idea of where to start re: the North Eastern League aka Norwood North.

How much easier would it be to get old SAFA "Budgets"? I gather from the responses that the other defunct leagues would be nigh on impossible.

I'm finding it just as hard to find stuff now that I moved to Perth to find WAFL "Budgets", etc. Nothing as simple as visiting Gerry's shop in Unley as I used to do when on holidays in SA and there are virtually no old wares shops compared to Melbourne.

Not everyone sees things in black and white like you do Phil.
