Bet they are super happy with that decision now aye? Or they could be in SFL.
think you may have had a few shandies this afternoon yankman..
"The Goodwood Saints Football Club was established in 1985 with the amalgamation of Goodwood Football Club and St. Raphaels Football Club."
they never looked to join EFC in the mid 90s that i know of..they were already in A1 in 1991 and were not struggling at all..i would know because i played in the 1990 premiership! that flag put them in A1 and they have never looked back..do you really think after finishing 8th once they would panic and want to merge with EFC? maybe you meant back in the 80s not 90s?
"The club finished in 3rd position in 1991 and 1992, 5th in 1993 but slipped to 8th position in 1994. With the arrival in 1995 of coach Brenton Honor the club firmly set its sights on the A1 premiership. Following disappointments in both 1995 (6th) and 1996 (4th) Honor extracted the maximum from his squad in 1997 and the Saints came away with the ultimate, the A1 premiership."
No, no shandies, lol. Edwardstown pushed for it because SAFA was about to tip over and it was an option for them to get in to SAAFL until the league decided to enter the SAFA teams under the 'Premier League' tag. Towns were given the Div 1 option when Athelstone knocked it back and went on to play in the GF against Adel Uni. 1995 if I remember. I was on the EFC board for 10 years and yes Saints even though short of troops back then made some really good choices after that.

its pretty safe to say that young adults these days drink far less and less smoke these were key revenues for a club back in the day even poker machines the young dont play them as much around our area more the older people these days you need to change your approach even in our A grade team we have 1 player that smokes back in the 90s up until 2010 we probably had 4-5 in each grade
teams like blakeview came and went they tryed to make a team happen cross the road from elizabeth

I get the feeling not as much of this happens down Payneham/Walkerville/Broadview way...

the history of my club is far to important to throw away because of some clubs struggling.
Please...
the history of the club is so much more important then the game ......do you even do your research before you post i mentioned all north teams cause we all with in a stones throw of each other i can drive for 5-15 minutes and get to 6 other clubs i go an extra 5 minutes on that another 3 clubs clearly you know nothing of the north
Woodville and West Torrens merged they still have the history of both clubs
and if pooraka had to merge with mawson lakes to survive then so be it the history still follows where ever pooraka goes

Correct, How does it happen that a football club can start across the road, absorbing a Old Scholars side?
I know the theme of this thread and although i'd admit there are teams in real strife, but if we at Pooraka are honest we'd have to admit that St Pauls were still at St Pauls and Mawson Lakes wasn't manufactured then there would be potentially more players/supporters/patrons/juniors at our club and we might not be doing it as tough!
