Play football. Exactly Barmy. Both sides have been here before and worn the tshirt as to agro with other teams after a game. no time to dwell on previous games or forum chat. Im sure both will be looking forward to the challenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalsGoalsGoals Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Is everyone looking forward to Oban joining the league? Do you think other teams will start to follow from the SAFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think other teams will start to follow from the SAFL? Will the players fancy a jaunt every second week if they go up to the Premier and are struggling to break into the top half of the table for a couple of seasons? The grass isn't always greener, it's easier to keep boys interested when you are winning more often than not. I hope it works out for them as they are a giant of the game but a lot of teams in the last decade or so have moved over and it's not worked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Oban Saints would have considered all the possible scenarios when making the decision. Having played in the SAFL for a long time they maybe felt it was time to try that grass out? Its no given that they will be a top 4/5 team in the CSAFL straight away and they will know that but that will be the challenge for them and that will give them something to focus on. Im sure everyone at the club is excited about the move. From the CSAFL and teams point of view you would have to say its a great move , another big Club in the mix and yeah a bit of a trip if you have to go up there but it may only be once a season and if ur team goes out the Scottish early it could be ur 1 real day out for the season and having played up there b4 it is a great day out!! Im sure they will be fine very well established outfit so should be a straightforward transition for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oban Saints will be fine imo, it'll be a bigger challenge as there's obviously no guarantee of getting into the top league at the first attempt. They're well used to travelling most weeks for league and Cup ties and they've got a good set up of youth teams below them. The grass isn't always greener but they've won everything there is to win in the SAFL so can see why they fancy a new challenge. Its a big blow to the SAFL I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Agree it's a huge blow to the SAFL. I'd imagine St Joes will be next to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mick Kennedy Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Im all for the best clubs joining the league, Oban are a fantastic club had many battles against them over the years. I stated my reservations about them joining the league only because of the travelling involved. But I also think we need to be very careful about leagues within the country losing their strongest club’s, the last thing I want to see is other leagues folding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is has the door now been opened for any team to be accepted regardless of travelling issues or is this a one off due to the stature of Oban Saints and there undoubted pedigree? Noticed it was mentioned on another thread that Sandys had discussed the possibilty of applying allthough I would take that with a pinch of salt. A one off or are the league willing to open it up to create the possibilty of a best of the best association? Interesting..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
