  I googled your name and found you were on the Football South Coast Board......and involved with the Wolves when the drama of Lysaghts Oval was all happening....And your here talking about direction and accountability.... seriously!! What did you do!! All I see here is negative attitude and demoralisation of other people who are actually trying to make a difference.... People like yourself just ruin the sport for everyone.

  You will also see i resigned from the Football South Coast board. You should ask around and get the facts before you make comments. Our message is about accountability. Where and to who are the Board of FSC accountable. Who are you Steve? Myself, Warwick Young and Vic Cuocco stepped in and saved the Wolves and raised money to keep Wolves and Stingrays going when nobody else was doing anything. I ceased my association with the Wolves at the end of season 2012 and left them with $60k in the bank, all the debts paid off and the seniors finished 4th in the comp. I also got 2X 100000 litre water tanks for Cringila and council funding for pumps and drainage so that the Wolves had a decent place to play as they have no home ground. If you think i didn't fight to keep Lysaghts then you are misinformed. First off what have you done for football in the Illawarra? How much time, effort and personal funds have you put into the game. Were you at the Wolves trivia night to raise funds last Friday? Have you any idea of the promises that have been made and broken by the people that run the game. I can show you e mails where the new CEO of FSC was a definite starter as a director of South Coast Wolves and promises were made to this effect. Never happened. Where are Wollongong Olympic going to play next year as they really got screwed in the Lysaghts debacle. Thats the problem mate there are a whole group of people like you that just have no idea whats going on. Ask Ray Vilestra about my credentials about saving the Wolves. Ask Trevor Morgan, now youth grade coach at West Sydney Wanders what we did to keep the elite pathway going. Ask Glen Fontana, technical Director of FSC. Ask the CEO of FNSW how hard i fought to keep elite football pathways going in the Illawarra. I asked a FSC Director an important question on the week end at the Port/Tarra game. The question was "who does the elite development if the Wolves aren't around. You want his answer - "nobody". If you think this is acceptable and that the football community should not be concerned then so be it. As to the home of football. 2 important questions. What happens between now when it is completed ie where do the Wolves, Stingrays and Wollongong Olympic play because Wollongong Council was prepared to fund improvements to JJ Kelly park to allow them all to play there. Secondly, what are the state govt and the Wollongong council up to about funding given that there are already a large amount of contributed funds from the developers. See post from Rob Di Peitro.

  Mate! I just want the game to succeed and for my kids to have a pathway. All I see on this forum is negatives about what happened in the past, broken promises etc. etc.... Why don't you put you passion towards local government. The Wolves are important and do deserve more. Local and state government is to blame not the people involved in football.

  Steven its not about Negativity , its about transparency , and well yes the FSC board was put together for the benefit of Football in the Area and to unite and get results , But so far all the Unity of the Football clubs and numbers up ,as in politics Numbers should equate to results . FSC have had the numbers for 5 years and what is there to show in them 5 Years? you can Google more information regarding many articles and judge for yourself . no need to put down a person that i also know and his history in the south coast regarding football over the years as these people have had a long and extensive history in the game and put in huge efforts in the past as Blood Sweat and tears. the Wolves are the Pinnicle in Football Excellence and is the Pathway to ensure our Juniors do have a place to be playing at the Higher level . The problem is that in such a long history from when the Wolves and Wollongong Olympic were asked to Vacate the Brandon Park Facilitity to make way for the Campus East extension the so called Innovation Campus . that was the Historical Downfall of the Wolves and History has shown i can give you some interesting links to read or google it Steven. People are wanting the same thing at the end Steven and its not about poiniting to individuals in this Plight. Unity and wanting something to be announced and started , Enough is Enough , But i do sense in your Defensive Mannerisims that you have some connection to FSC let me know if i am wrong , but your responses here and in the FSC pages are leading me that direction as to some connection. either way it doesnt matter i only want to progress but i dont think the Football Public is going to be prepared to Wait for the Slow Train to Dapto Proposal when the Fast Track Approach can be Implemented Now.. as i said earlier i can post some very interesting Links from the Media in the History of it all , this leads to frustration ,and right now its where it is , But at who that Frustration is focused upon would be up the the individuals posting. easy to blame others. but please make sure your information is correct. Work for the Benefit of the game. we all want the same outcome. Do you think Steven that the SFC Board has given the Football Community Results ? if so point them Facilities out to me as i dont see any . have they put in place proposals , YES , A- Z too many ,, end Result Zero , so instead of being a Gunna attitude we need the Lets get this Done for the Benefit of the Game Attitude. we need to Move forward and be moving in the Same Direction. its not negativity attitude that i have Steven but more Ill put the Fire Up Ya Ass now attitude to see how fast things get Done. Pressure is good and for people to have their say is equally important. accountability is needed for that pressure , when individuals have role and dont perform no matter the position or organisation ,if it be private or public sector , are these people to remain stagnated in them positions ? My Opinion is that everyone seems to think that Playing Politics gives them the right for excuses to create Illusions and broken Promises. Simple numbers and majority should Equate to results . but for some odd reason it doesnt seem to in this code and thats what needs to change, back to the History of the Code in the South Coast and Australia. But seeing the Crowds at both Games one with Manchester and the other with Liverpool could be the start to let everyone know what Code is the World Game.
