"You can't stop progress!" Enemy pulls out the Bill Heslop quote, but we're talking about the SFL, not Porpoise Spit. I agree it's a positive to get the other players a game, but splitting up a side's Reserves and Seniors is crap. The Seniors coach won't be able to get a look at them, they're not likely to hang around at Away games to watch someone else's Seniors, and if you get a situation where the host of the Seniors doesn't have a team in the Reserves then I can't see why anyone would watch. No crowds means to canteen sales, means less money for all the clubs. Apart from the money side of it, I love watching our Seniors after a game. Good idea if Sandown's twos fold, otherwise terrible idea. What about games like Cerberus? Is it justifiable to get a bus just to take the one side down?
my understanding is that sandown wouldn't have a reserves otherwise, so it would actually increase bar sales etc etc then if they weren't there. we'll have to see come round 1 i suppose
