July 2006: What the hell
is going on with 1st Division & 1st
Reserve Men having the Grand Finals at Kingsclifff.
You have to be joking. Whats next maybe
we should send everything to Carrara then
all the Committee and staff will be happy.
23.5.06 The North Coast Soccer
Sevens - is fully subsidised by
every other playing Club in this region.
Why do you ask? Simple mathematics if you
want the cost to blow out we can also add
the fact that the General Manager that the
Clubs pay to look after soccer broadly through
out this region also administers, managers,
organisors, all aspects of the so called
Lennox Head Sevens. Which mind you all profits
from the Canteen go straight into the Lennox
Head Soccer Clubs coffers. The F.F.N.C.
uses stationary & resources to promote
Lennox Sevens. Yes its gets $2000 Cash from
Sponsors. All prizes go straight out in
cash. F.F.N.C. pay for hire of Tents, Equipment,
Laptops and other anomalies. Then the board
that the Clubs voted in give him the accumulated
days off in lieu for running the show. Now
tell me why the Clubs are paying for Lennox
Head to gain all profit? Because their is
no Profit!! In 2005 the Board thought they
were spending around $2000 to get it up
and running. That year alone without Stationary
& advertising costs the General Manager
on behalf of F.F.N.C. spent over $5000 of
all Clubs revenue to support Lennox Soccer
Sevens. The General Manager now thought
it would be a good idea to have a dedicated
web page for Lennox Head Soccer Sevens,
that is more cost and our G.M. that we pay
looks after that site constantly and who
pays him? Not Lennox Head. Back to the Maths
of it all. It works out around $1.50 per
player at your club that subsidises Lennox
Head to put that event on. Wouldn't you
like a refund, did your club vote to keep
subsidising Lennox Head and the Soccer Sevens
concept. Then Ask yourselves if they got
away with that ask me how much it costs
your club to subsidise the North Coast Suns
& Flames?
23.5.06 Suns played illegally at
Arkinsall Park - North Coast Suns
- well if you did get injured on the 2 nights
that the North Coast Suns played at South
Tweed Heads you may win claim for damages
as it emerged from South Tweed Heads delegate
that they still failed their lighting audit
again and F.N.C. failed to tell Bangalow
that the game had reverted back to 1 &
3pm this week because of the lighting failure.
The Northern Star had it at 3 & 5 pm.
So who reimburses Bangalow for travelling
costs. Thank God Tweed wasn't playing Maclean.
Well back to the main story. Why did the
Suns not play at Goonellabah at the end
of last year. I was told by players that
Tweeds lights were of less quality than
Goonellabah and if Tweed wasn't at Australian
Standards who made the call to have the
Suns games at Tweed. I hope Lismore Workers,
Thistles & Goonellabah put in a formal
complaint because I was at the same General
Meeting as everyone else that explained
to us that at the end of the normal competition
no games will be played at night unless
the ground was certified at Australian Lighting
standard and this clearly wasn't the case.
You guys win the first award for brilliant
administration skills for 2006. Give yourselves
an uppercut and stop changing the rules,
and try and dig yourselves out of this one.
Women's Premier League.
- The reasons given from the committee why
we have a 6 team competition is that Rovers
& Workers Women's top Teams were so
strong. So tell me how Byron Bay won the
Callan McMillan Shield. Goonellabah is above
workers in women's premier league whilst
Lennox Head in Second Division has scored
15 goals in 3 games and on top of the ladder.
Dear Committee go ask the Women's 4th Division
and they will tell you. Stop creating a
back log of Teams in 3rd & 4th Division
They do not want 1 single serious player
back there in 4ths, they are a pure social
competition. Don't wreck a good thing. Just
fix it.
F.F.N.C. new web site
has arrived. My own opinion not the Clubs
don't blog till the Web Site has all its
teething problems fixed. Don't spend all
your time sending emails to mediate blog
sites. By replying to the blogs the General
Manager now gives us a detailed history
that all he does do the majority of the
time is stay on the web for approximate
$55,000 a year. General Managers must do
more than mediate blog sites and take holidays
during the peak start & finish of each
soccer year.
Club Meetings are down to 3 a year.
Better still lets just turn up to AGM's
when the G.M. needs a pay increase i'm sure
he'll have his contract written up faster
than the results page of the F.F.N.C. Web
site.
Can the General Manager Act as Judiciary
Chairman then not Fax the Report then have
someone else add on to the Suspension Report
then the Club not get it for 10 days and
only because we checked our in tray. What's
going on there. That's right an Administration
hiccup. We cant answer the question because
we don't have a copy of the 2006 Year Book.
23.4.06 Alstonville v
Tweed Heads First Division Men, No Referee
at Crawford Park what happened there. That's
right its a Referees Problem isn't it.
22.4.06 I remember a General
Manager stating at the AGM that the 2006
Year Book was going to be out in Print by
March 2006 where is it now.
The First A.G.M. for the newly formed Football
Far North Coast witnessed the announcement
of approximate $29,000 loss for the year
2006 and an advertising budget that has
now doubled and the placements of 2 more
casual staff members.
Soccer Sevens runs at a loss for 2 years
and is subsidised by who?
What happened to Twilight Soccer in Lismore?
What happened to the Lighting plan at Riverview
Park?
Riverview park was to have Rep Games played
at Night in 2006?
Does it even come up to Australian Standards
for Training?
Does Nesbitt Park come up to Australian
Standards for Training?
The Football Institute wreaks havoc on
our Rep Players.
Rep Players dropping out at a faster rate
than we can find them.
Rep Bus Trip not $100 try $180, well the
first one anyway.
