The best thing to do is cater for the worst-case scenario and have more players than necessary if possible. Remember that the C Grade teams can play 25, so even if you have a few too many at the beginning of the year, a lot of the lads will be able to sit on the bench!!
Trainers etc. will be a big factor too so make sure you have enough hands on deck before nominating a 3rd side.
There are some massive benefits if you can get a third side up. More people back at the club on a saturday night, more people attending functions, more players paying subs can all be a massive boost. The other good thing is that with a third side you will be having at least one side playing at home every week which can be great for revenue from BBQ, canteen and bar, but again you have to make sure you have enough support staff to volunteer for all of these things too!!

hahaha thats gold. u are a wise man DWDogwatcher wrote:To realistically start a C grade, you need...
1) About 10 fat blokes who are too slow to play in the higher grades;
2) An 18 year old kid who lacks interpersonal skills and so will be happy to get the big blokes their drinks on Saturday night because he thinks they are there mates;
3) A coach with infinite patience, who doesn't mind that C grade footballers think that tactics are breath fresheners.
4) Five or six wirey blokes with minimal skills but who run like the wind;
5) One or two infinitely skilled sandbaggers, who like to play in a lower grade because "I just wanna play with my mates".
6) 20 sundry phone numbers so you can fill the rest of the team throughout the rest of the season.
Good luck.
