Riverside an embarassment ! Can they survive in the top flight?

This happens in cycles with clubs, all of the time. Not that long ago Glenorchy Croatia were doing a lot worse and look where they are now.
At least Riverside are in the league having a crack, and am sure are looking at what they need to do to become competitive again.

Kingbourough v Ulverstone Womens State Cup games has been rescheduled for this Saturday at Lightwood
Isn't the problem with Riverside that they have never really been competitive.Similar comments were said about Clarence unfortunately. Every season we get 3 or 4 clubs who just can't compete. What is it that Riverside are doing to turn things around ? What is the FA doing to establish a competition where every team is competitive?
Chip.
Its up to the clubs to work to become more competitive. Not FT.
FT cant provide proper facilities without having to worry about clubs being competitive.
It's up to the clubs.....but some appear clueless how to achieve success. I don't see any cycling up from Riverside, Launceston or Kingborough over the years. Northern Rangers cycled down and disappeared while Clarence were never up and forced to merge. Glenorchy are a rare exception. If you expect nothing from FT they are sure to deliver and keep serving up poor,lopsided comps year after year. We should expect more from the administrators!
Chip . It is up to the clubs not FT.
How is FT expected to make the competition more competitive ?
Glenorchy are a rare exception because they had had the $$$$ so they could attract the so-called better players. BUT they have attracted the right payers. I would argue that Clarence have probably spent more money in the last 10 years than any other club and they have won nothing , mainly because they have not spent wisely.
FT is expected to manage and run the competition not make it more competitive. Clubs must do that .
Is the FA in England responsible for the equity of the EPL ? Liverpool Chelsea Man City Man U and Tottenham are always the most competitive with one or two other clubs from time to time.
Sorry but disagree with you.
It is laughable to compare the EPL with Tasmanian Football.How do clubs here attract money? Launceston are always complaining they can't do this. Can't FT asist in this regard ? How about things like a salary cap, a limitation of foreign players or a review of the point system for ranking players ? FT are let off too lighly and will gladly do nothing if you ask that of them. You are not Matt Bukeley by any chance?
