Stadium not owned by Southern.... How many times can this be gone over.

Basketball SA fully aware of the issues, however management unable to do anything about it due to the BSA heads not willing to part with the required cash. 25k per court to fix them one by one. Full plans have been given to Hubbard and the commission, but alas nothing has been done. Great way to promote the Junior elite competition isn't it? Great way to ruin a revamped facility.

Honestly it is an absolute disgrace that winter after winter the same complaints come through. No vision, no planning, no organisation. What an absolute farce of an organisation.

Don't even get me started on refereeing. There was Miniball referees scheduled to referee the under 16 girls game tonight, and the under 14 boys. And I'm not saying Miniball as in, degrading their ability, but actual Miniball referees. Gibson and Bridgeman see a name of a referee, don't care about their ability, see them
Simply as a number and a way to fill a gap so their isn't solo games.

Again such great vision and action from our sports peak body.

What an utter disgrace and complete useless organisation this is.

2 T's in Morphett Vale!

Interesting that the boys game got underway once the court was dried yet the muppet umpiring the girls game couldn't get out of the place for a fag quick enough

The stadiums a disgrace yes

But bit of brain power would have gone a long way to ensure the girls got to continue doing what they love doing yet it was all about an umpire again

It hailed hard and there was water coming in the middle of the court, on all 3 courts that were being used, 2 games continued after a short break the game on court 2 was cancelled by the ref, to wet inside yet not to wet to sit outside smoking five minutes later!

Easy money for tomorrow's ciggies

And the game after got played!

Easy easy money for the ciggies

Ref in question isn't a learner although should never have been promoted out of a green shirt

Why point the finger at the Refs or the Tigers.

Tigers not their stadium (Council Should step in and Smash BSA out of it, hand it over to the club at least things might get done) After the million dollar floor revamp (Local Government funding) and its currently allowed to suffer water damage. BSA is mismanaging our association change is needed!

Here's the tender document to the council, BSA

Take a look for yourself at costs and projected spending there's $10,000 for marketing to get people through the doors, jokes on us.

I'd like to see the BSA books to prove the associations not being skimmed for profits.

Did you say give the stadium to the club? You must be bloody stupid! The same club that broke a ring during Sunday training, and didn't tell management about it until
It was found out the following Saturday a week later? What about all those seniors games played on that court between those times? Imagine if one person had dunked, and seriously injured or killed themselves?!? The club that can't even run a profit from their canteen? The club who cant even supply a RSA for their bar?

BSA are a pathetic organization, but the suggestion that the rabble called Southern Tigers can do it better is an absolute joke. They couldn't even run Aussie bloody hoops. Oh wait maybe that annoying lady who hands around the office and the tall bald bloke who pisses everyone off seem like good sorts. God the patients from glenside would do a better job.

Million dollar floor revamp?? More like 400k for the whole stadium! Anon #649 is defintley Mr.Smith

Aussie Hoops is BSA run and administered throught the stadium. How do you know the canteen runs at a loss? did you sit at the AGM get the finance report?

What proof do you have that the club knew about the broken ring and it was during a club training session? BSA run the stadium it's BSA court supervisors not the club who oversee it.

Let me guess you live in the glass house

People from the club told people from outside that it was the club who broke it

^ People know Jack lots of people assume.

Fact is the Stadium is leased by BSA and managed by BSA the club hire it from BSA, it's the responsibility of BSA to ensure all equipment is safe and sustainable. Fair Work Australia anyone?

Anon #660

Aussie hoops under Southern was a joke that's why BSA took it off them
2 years ago. The club blamed the poor turn out on a volunteer who's job it was to hand out flyers when they didn't pay him for any of it. When it was run on a Friday afternoon and they got 10 kids to the session, now it's run on a Saturday getting 25-40.

The canteen runs at a loss because I was told directly. They had stock losses from the bar which was blamed on anyone but the execs who drink for free.

I have proof that the people who were there at the time the ring was broken! The club didn't say anything because they didn't want to pay for the repairs (see annoy kgs meddling office lady). The ring was then changed the following Saturday after the women's abl game because the referee "noticed" it due to the Southern tigers parent who works for acromat told the referee who also works for acromat during the week that it was broken. The southern tigers parent was there on the Sunday.

The fact is your club is full of dishonest, self indulged people, who look after themselves and their kids interests. Your club is the worst club, full of shady, unethical, rude, offensive people. Who could never ever do a thing wrong. Grow Up, show some respect and take responsibility. The fact your still denying actions like the ring, show the immature nature of your club. Enjoy being a bottom feeder club with no future.

The fact southern hire it from BSA means they Are responsible for the use. Do they clean after trainings, no.... Is it in the hire agreement that they should? Yes.

Fact is the club broke the ring, didn't tell anyone because they didn't want to pay, and who knows if they have. With chanstrom and smith in charge, the dodgy brothers live on.

And before you say anything, I am not Mr Davies.

Not Mr Davies but one of his puppets

Hahahah Southern with such a Brenton complex? Guilty much? I'm not Brenton... I know so much more than he does. Where do Southern but there bar alcohol from? From a local bottle shop who then give two execs big discounts whilst the club pays more for alcohol by buying from an independant and not the cheapest retailer and reduces the associations profits... Great execs you have there.

*buy

I hope you have proof

I did the door one night 4 years ago ,does anyone know how much they get through the door with all the kids and parents,enough in one night twice my weekly wage,yet they cant get roof fixed.
Referees have a right to stop game or cancel game when deem too dangerous,but now i hear Court Supervisors have been told not to cancel games.If anyone gets injured badly there,just sue the stadium management.I refuse my kids play at that stadium if it is raining heavy.Our team has 9 players ,my sons miss out one game doesn't bother them(they are not the teams best player)YES DISGRACE and DO something about it.

West Stadium leaks really bad where the air ventilation shafts are they just need rain covers, Morphett Vale leaks straight down the middle apparently it runs from one end to the other across the middle of all courts but only in certain spots.

BSA it costs about $10 or less for a tube of Sellys All Clear and probably about $100+ to pay someone to get up on the roof and find the holes. Get a laser pointer of a bright spotlight shine in at the roof where the water spots are.

Forget the roof I want to hear more of the dodgy dealings

Do BSA actually have contracts in place with clubs for use of BSA stadiums. Perhaps that is half the problme - no=oneknows if it is BSA, the council or the clubs responsibility. Who is responsible for what?

As for the actual management of the club - that is the club's responsibility. How good and how ethically they run the club I have no idea but if the club members do not like it they always can do something about it!!

wow and i thought norwood was a bit disorganised, sounds like serious issues down in the south.

BSA not interested in repairs,they just want their income .As someone said buy sellers no more gaps,get on the roof and fix all the leaks ,you it yourself Manager of Southern,instead of sitting in that office doing nothing for half a day ,or disappearing for Craig Thomson special,get on the roof fix it,then you will receive less complaints.

Sorry for that player who slipped and didn't return to the game,if you read this ,then if you have to pay any medical bills then don't pay for it,forward it to BSA to pay for it,it's on their turf,an unsafe arena .

You want dodgy.

How about the Southern President who has the merchandise contract for the Club or a Club that does not have their financials audited.

@Annoy

Which facts would you like to clear up? on further gossiping with an x member one of the above comments regarding the board and presidents merchandise deal was aired at the AGM and people were quite concerned the board failed to document the deal in committee minutes.

and honestly if you're that pissed show the balls to get your arse out of the lounge and HELP FIX THE PROBLEM..
If you know all the answers YOU put your hand up for election..
sick to death of snipers on here with a rudimentary understanding of Corporate Governance gleaned from countless hours listening to talk-back radio..
put up or shut the FU..
it's not just confined to this Club..little heroes everywhere

Gossiping with an ex member means you are one of Davies mates

I'm sure there's more than one ex member that heard about the going on at an AGM?
