In essence the State Federation is a centralised Service Provider for clubs and their leagues.
We pay their salaries and in effect outsource to them to manage and provide for the clubs' behalf :
1.Fixturing 2.Basic Admin... like transfers, insurance, regos, referees, tribunals, coach training etc 3.A web portal for the state/clubs/leagues 4.Marketing of the clubs/leagues and hopefully some sponsorship for our code 5.Broadcasting services
Instead they have grown the organisation off our taxes (registrations) to 70-80 people that now have their own 'Corporate strategy' !! own Board !! compete with clubs, NTC etc contribute to private football franchises ! and have way to many levels of management
Concept for discussion
Should we -scale back the size of the FFV and cut costs -Get them to focus on CORE service delivery only (as above) -Demand quarterly reports on activity -Manage them with Service Level Agreements
That's it
I'm confident the fees that clubs pay would be greatly reduced, which would have a positive flow on effect for all.
They have failed us in providing core basic services and they Do not listen to their stakeholders... who pay their salaries
