Hearing that they have serious financial issues, the men and YL are not looking very competitive at this stage and the women will be middle of the pack.
Can any on shed any light on this?
My understanding is it is pretty much a done deal but the club is going to hold out until January to see if they can save it and run a scaled down, low cost, basic big v program
Although they would still have to pay the entry fees as it is past the AGM, they would save thousands on court hire, game day staff, equipment, coach and player payments
IMO they should pull it for a year or two and evaluate once their finances are sorted. No point putting the entire association under strain to just keep Big V program there. They will still have CBL

The question is what were the board and administrator doing while all this was going on....I agree pull out until they get there house in order. A six figure debt is a significant amount and will take some time to claw it back.

SO....
SP - Lost YLM, now men.
WP - May lose all 3 teams.
Mornington - Nearly lost all 4 teams(Club decision)
Frankston - Cut their two YL teams.
Couple more years there wont be any teams left on or around the Peninsula....
There was no to spend as much as they did on their Men's program this year. Paying players who were ok at D2 but not great
Could of saved a heap of money right there
I believe Manny had a year left, did they pay him out?

Any chance the clubs in crisis, if in fact they are, down on the Peninsula can get together and sit down to work out a collaborative strategy that cab benefit them all?
Where do these rumours start? No; Western Port are not pulling out any Big V teams. The mens team lost Manny which is obviously a big one, but they will still be competitive and will make final - kenny had made a habit of taking teams with less talent and making them contenders. The association is not in crisis financially or administratively
