Can't see Brighton leaving. Why would they? They've got next year's flag sewn up - if anyone likes to give me odds on that I'm game to put $100 on it - and they're powerful in the league in their own right.
Marion - who knows. I don't think the SFL would care if they left, and with their $$$ they'd be able to go wherever they liked. (And yes, they DO have $$$ despite all this rubbish about them being broke, you don't have pokies and bloody club-of-the-year and whatnot if you haven't got the money for it.)
What you fail to realize is that the pokies are part of the Social Club.The football club does not benefit at all from Pokie intake. There are also a significant amount of other sporting clubs that use the Social Club. Last year not 1 player was charged fees, as an incentive to lure players to the football club for it to survive,so the football department had to pay that money from past profits. This year they are, but reduced, once again digging into the savings.
So before you have such tunnel vision, what you have to understand is that the Football club itself has'to fight and scrap for every dollar it can, like most clubs do, with many volunteers busting thier arse week in week out. It is a totally different scenario then to your club, as yours maybe solely as football club, and with comments youve made above, I don't expect you to understand what lengths MFC have to go through to pass decisions threw the Social Club.
