SFL need to see long term and bring Spartans up

Jun 29 2008 Gordon Waddell

AND you thought the SPL had the monopoly on an inability to see beyond the end of their own noses. Seems the SFL have caught the disease too.

Marking down Spartans' facilities in their inspection for bids to join the SFL, because they won't be ready until six weeks into the season, is as short-sighted as it comes.

Are we trying to discourage clubs from doing things right?

It'll be interesting to see how the vote goes. Spartans are a beacon in their area with over 500 kids under their wing and have done enough to earn their chance.
