pre-season night competition...what happened ?

well what happened to our pre-season night competition ? we had cigarette sponsorship which got outlawed so (not sure of order) we had 'the foundation cup' & 'living health cup' which were funded by a percentage of cigarette money, then it got changed to a night grand final between the top two teams at about the halfway mark of the home & away season which i recall was a very low scoring match between wwt & cd, i think wwt won it but the scoreline was something like 3 goals to 2 goals but it was one of the best games i've seen with no team giving the other any room at all in a great physical contest played in the right spirit, anyway i digress, who now gets this sponsorship money ? would another business be interested in sponsoring a pre-season competition now ? would tv including fox go for it ?


should this be at least looked at or is it just something from the past that'll never ever happen again ?

I can recall one season where we played matches with a lesser number of players at Wayville, have often wondered if a concept like that might be the way of going to get some interest going in a pre season cup?

You'd need a very generous sponsor , can't see it hapenning.The crowds were ordinary in the pre AFL days , it just wouldn't attract interest .
