My info is it is not related to the Soccer whatsoever although the Soccer club are not disappointed that this has happened as it opens up a big opportunity for them.

All sides Men, Woman and Junior are out.

Council Page.

What about the women’s and junior teams?
The actions of some of the members will, unfortunately, have an impact on the rest of the club
Council hopes the women’s and junior teams can continue to play football in some format next year
Council hopes that the SANFL and the Southern Football League will help find the Cove Cobras a venue for the women’s and junior teams to play

PS I don't think anybody on this page give flying **** about what happens in the Barossa


Yeah I’ve now heard a bit more so what I stated was incorrect. It’ll be very interesting to see how this pans out.

So Soccer didn't put any complaints into the council and have never had a disagreement with the football club?

This is not constructive to the current situation the club finds itself in. Consider this your first and only warning.

Looks like he caught one.. ;) :lol:

Anyway in other news, would the Marion Council be open to leasing another venue to Cove or will they need to consider relocating to Holdfast bay or Onkas?

Reading the Councils released statement

- Juniors and Women yes
- Senior Men no

Hackham and Lonsdale are the only obvious places down south that could be used on alternate weekends, but most SFL clubs have their ovals running from Saturday morning to Sunday night with the increase of female footy.

Id suggest that the council has just placed a line in the sand and they will negotiate their way back into the facility with some pretty strict terms, if they can't then who knows if the club can survive.

In all seriousness, who would have thought any club would have been kicked
out of their clubrooms before smackham. They should change their name to the cats given how many lives they have used up
Where's Bill? Yeah... Hmm... Bill is on the Villa Quatro, on the road to Salina. I will draw you a map.

Reading between the lines here & purely speculating as I do not know all of the facts.

It just seems a little ironic that 1 - 2 years ago the council proposed to build a bmx track & soccer pitches at O'halloran hill but it was scrapped because it exceeded what was put aside for the project, then earlier this year (as afc mentioned previously) it was minuted at a council meeting to explore the option of relocating the footy club. I believe possibly to Capella Oval (near skate ramp) & bring the soccer juniors from there up to the main complex.

Whilst the soccer club certainly wouldn't be complaining about the current situation, the main issue for the last few years is the need for a larger or separate facilities due to soccer's growing popularity & women's footy boosting the footy club participants. I'm sure if the council invested in building a new oval in the vacant paddock or decent clubrooms at an alternate ground (Capella for instance) there could be a good resolution for the 2 major sports clubs in the area. Let's just hope that all parties can come to a sensible resolution in the coming weeks.

"I do not want the Council to overturn their decision..."


Suspiciously this post has now been removed by the soccer club. Their President's comment to the media was most telling:

Cove Soccer Club chairman David Brain backed the council’s decision.
“As chairman of the soccer club I fully endorse the council’s action,” Brain said.

Of course they do because it benefits the Soccer club! Nothing wrong with them saying that.

Mind you not sure how the oval is an asset to them with a cricket pitch right in the middle, maybe they are working on getting them out as well?

One wonders if the council would take this action if the club was right in the middle of their zone, not right on the edge which Cove is.

Rather ironic if my info is correct that the councillor representing the ward covering the Community Club is also on the SOCCER CLUBS COMMITTEE

Dont know about you LGIG but I was more than impressed by the turnout last night , but by the same token a tad dissapointed that you and I appeared to be the only reps from rival clubs showing support for them despite TK acknowledging the many messages he had received from across the SFL COMMUNITY

Soccer is played in winter

Many amatuer clubs play on ovals where there are cricket pitches including turf pitches
