The GM commented that people should watch they wish for with regards the AFL teams going, as it would hurt the league significantly.
Marty Mattner was also on saying how it makes the teams better etc.
So clear that Sturt's position has not changed since voting yes. They are obviously a massive supporter of their presence and also commented on the $100K they are getting each year for their presence. I didn't think they got $100K, but that's what the GM said.
Well Sturt is the only club that has their debt guaranteed by the SANFL so they need to stay in their good books
Absolutely not true that Sturt had their debt guaranteed by SANFL. They traded out of their financial woes through the debt demolition campaign, benefactors and hard work by board and management. The only thing the SANFL did was advance their distribution for two months so as they could pay long term creditors. SANFL categorically did not or have not provided the club with an extra cent period.
I can categorically guarantee they did, do I need to prove it?
that and the sanfl acting as a guarantor for the club, and the sanfl giving the club money are two different things. acting as a guarantor only means they pay the money if the club eventually folds completely, which they havent, yet
