Obviously that isnt going to happen but it shows we are not that far from further restrictions dropping which should include attendence, canteen/BBQ/Bar.
Trial games can be played through June at least, no one cares much for them except coaches and players.. then fingers crossed all is well for a July start.
Still puzzles me why people keep saying no canteen no football
If they are opening cafes and restaurants and fish and chip shops are packed with people where is the logic in even thinking football would be played without a canteen
And the crowd without the players, volunteers and direct family members is not a relevant argument either as I attended many games last year from div 1 to div 7 and hardly class it as a crowd.
So the question is more about the player payments more than anything as we haven't had clarity around that one.
Crowd issues would be more for Country comps but they can be spread around there ovals in the cars. Issue is also in country footy that you usually have 5 games at the same oval in one day so to monitor the level of people at the ground at one stage would be difficult. Plus alot of country comps rely on adelaide based players and if they aren't going to be able to get paid as much some won't come which will further hurt country teams. The issue is harder for country footy then the saafl or sfl in my opinion.
the barossa league have 4-5 games of footy and around 15 games of netball at the same ground on the same day.....hard to control crowd limits
