"I always believe such cooperation between clubs and their locality GROs (Grassroots Organization) will do more good than anything. Both parties should leverage on the plus sides of each other to benefit themselves in the long run. And this is something I hope the "joint event" this afternoon is not a "one-off" event."That was what I said on the blog FB page in respond to a member's posting on the "SAFFC Warriors Football Carnival 2012", which was held in Choa Chu Kang (CCK), before heading down there.
The choice of the venue was ideal with the event took place just right across the "Lot 1 Shopping Center" that made it lot easier for people to take notice and travel to and fro the Choa Chu Kang MRT station next to the mall.

"Following this afternoon carnival, the club will be taking part in a sports carnival organized by the grassroots organization in June." said Ms Jorine Sim, Manager for Marketing & Corporate Affairs of SAFFC as she shared with this blog the upcoming collaboration between the Warriors and the regional GROs.

This afternoon event by the Warriors is the result of the "de-centralization" move by the league authority to see clubs conduct their own outreach programs on their own with Gombak United, Hougang United, etc. concluded their own in the past recent days.

He said:"Today, I signed more autographs in three hours and seen much more new faces at the fanfare at the Warriors hometown in CCK than the past three years that were held in town and other locations."
"De-centralised (fanfare) should be the way to go as it means SAFFC are targeting residents of CCK, Bukit Panjang, Teck Whye area, etc.
"Also there has to be continuity in such engaging with the fans that I think once a year is never enough." added the former national 'keeper.
