I thought it was 250k? The idea to have the money invested in upgrading of facilities and junior programs as well?

We came into atca 10 years ago from hard wicket and we didn't get a cracker from saca to fund it. Other clubs have had to do it to.
Why should they get a leg up?

The offer is $500k. In meetings with Clubs and SACA to get a merger happening, they were offering $1m. Think this is why Woodville have gone cold on the idea and told SACA that. SACA Board meeting tonight was supposed to be making the final decision.

2 reasons. Firstly the SACA want a merger in preference to a club going, although it should not be West Torrens who get the flick EVER
Secondly. Adelaide Turf clubs who come from hard wicket are hardly pathways to the Sheffield Shield and Test arenas. The SACA will only spend this type of money for the best competition and best players in the state, to create pathways to higher levels.

My above quote was posted because the quote i got it from stated that WT were offered huge money to move to atca. If the money on offer is only to make a merger more attractive then i stand corrected, and certainly dont have a problem with it.

One of the main reasons we built a turf block was so that our juniors had experienced turf cricket BEFORE going to a district club.
Not ALL talented kids start at grade clubs, in fact very few.
Community clubs put a lot of time and effort into junior development to you know. Its not just grade clubs doing it.

Unfortunately, just like the AFL, the grass root clubs get bugger all.

Think the person who wrote that was suggesting they should take the merger money and then move - not that they were offered money to actually move.

Brilliant result for Southern District against a top quality finals-proven team. Club should be very proud. Have slowly become more competitive at A Grade level for the last few years and have done it largely with a team made up of locals.

Now to get some youth into their side.......

A lot of them have been down there for years and hopefully they can now translate that initial success into long term success.

Looking forward to the day this happens, think you will find Southern's may have had some lads who started on hard wicket in their local area who are now Premiership players. As you are all over the player pathway Oyster I am sure you know the contents of CA's Backyard to Baggy Green publication! SACA and ATCA also provided some financial assistance to TP's club for their move to turf, although not very much in terms of Preimer Cricket $$$ it is was got them over the line.

As we thought. SACA had already decided this before we went thru this whole process.

They have been extremely deceitful thru this whole saga.

Bradshaw's press release today is so full of crap, don't trust the bloke one little bit.

My prediction is our Women players will end up at Glenelg with their new teams, our Juniors will end up with Uni at West Beach, our Seniors will disperse to other Clubs or give up cricket.

Very sad day, but not unexpected!

Disgusting by the SACA. West Torrens should not be made to amalgamate with anyone. I got told this morning that Woodville were safe, but WT and Port have been told to amalgamate. Also I was told that if a merger was not successful between the two clubs, that the remaining club (West Torrens or Port) would not be paid the same each year, as the other SACA clubs. Can anyone confirm this? This is holding a gun at the clubs heads. Not that this has not been happening for the last 6 months. All 3 clubs and not just West Torrens had poor seasons, because of this hanging over their heads

How can you tell a club that survives that "you won't get the same funding as the other clubs?". This is only what I've heard. Someone please clarify.
