History for bwtcf

I wrote a bit about my circumstance here. 

Well done for starting this thread Greenie. Some really good discussion points here.

Key take outs (so far) for me are:

1. There is a need for careful treading/careful thinking here - done clumsily, or wrongly, there IS the potential to alienate people/groups who otherwise might be supporters and/or stakeholders in the Nix
2. What the Nix, and most if not all clubs all want (big picture) is surely not that divergent - everyone wants to grow football, provide pathways for development, etc. The likely differences in opinion are mostly at the "how", not the "what" level; and/or because of the financial implications of certain decisions (e.g. school holiday coaching clinics and booking of turf grounds etc.).
3. It's not clear how different people rationalise their relationship with their club vs. with the Nix. But it seems it is far from a one size fits all answer.
4. I like Conan Troutman's ideas o:

• membership discounts for registered local players, and
• Central League or Cap Prem games as curtain raisers at the RoF or something
