Not that NNSW will enact on the promotion relegation thingy end of next year but is it possible to go down when not finishing last?
Im sure financials could be a cause but this criteria seems to controversial to throw a team down.

Sorry for being a bit pedantic, but you said you would point out 3 incorrect points. It looks like only the 500 seat grandstand as opposed to the 200 covered seating is a point of difference. What are the other 2 issues? Rectangular fence and 16 seat change room/dressing shed sounded the same to me.
Quote from Johnno - ''a number of glaring anomalies that your club does not meet in the main grandstand that can seat 500 people, 200 lux minimum lighting to accommodate night fixtures, a fenced rectangular ground, adequate change rooms to seat minimum 16 people''
Grandstand is completely incorrect & not meeting criteria on other 2 is also incorrect.
I can assure there is 16 per dressing room with hooks above, visitors room granted is a little small but the criteria is met on this point. ✔️
NNSWF said they would accept portable fencing down the middle and class it as rectangular fenced field so criteria met on this one as well. ✔️
Hope this clears up any confusion.
Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks NNSWF have the rubber stamp,
I am hearing that 2020 will possibly be the last season out of this venue with work on the new grounds and facilities most likely commencing at the end of the season. You all would understand with this being imminent the club is very reluctant to invest in a structure that soon will be demolished. Yes lights are an issue now but will be remedied with new works.
Fair enough. I was reading it as a disagreement on the list of criteria rather than whether or not they met the criteria.
Not for me to judge if ground is satisfactory, but hope it is or at least improves as well as performances across all grades. The competition needs strong all round teams to keep improving, and help rather than criticism to get or keep all teams up there.
The criteria thing is rubbish, team's in every division should be promoted and relegated by what happens on the park. Just like everywhere else around the world. It should be up to councils and NNSW to provide facilities for clubs that Earn the right to play top division football.
Half right, as for NNSW and Council providing facilities to clubs, you have to be joking, that's the clubs responsibility. Look at Edgeworth, they have taken a community facility to the next level and Magic have developed a facility from scratch. How ironic the clubs achieving off the field are also doing it on the field.
Council hasn' t supplied a bag of fertiliser at Magic Park since the first season of the W League back in 2008, and that was to repair damage their workers had done top dressing the ground and gouging the field with their drag mat prior to the girls kicking off... must have been a sign for the Super Cars to come... adding to that... Council has never even changed a washer at Magic Park... dont bring Magic into conversations about councils providing for the football community. It is insulting to our club volunteers.
Council, at least in LM, are very proscritive about what clubs can and can't do on Council owned land. Having sat on a club committee, I am well aware that Council has its agenda or plan. I know that Council forbade some works that NNSW wanted done for NPL application.
As for Magic's ground, it's my understanding that the ground is not Council controlled but comes under the same authority as McDonald Jones. Coukd be wrong, but that's what I've been told.
The whole debate has been lost.
My debate is simple.
NPL
Adamstown- Relegated
Cooks Hill- Promoted
New Fm
Mayfield- Promoted from ZPL
Toronto- Relegated to ZPL
Pretty simple, let the results determine who goes up and down.
Furthermore if the team that comes up to new fm, in this case Mayfield is deemed to have a unsatisfactory home ground. Then the association works with the council to solve the issue.
Possibly that team plays elsewhere if it's a MAJOR problem. All I was getting at that club's shouldn't get punished for having a ground that is below par in terms of promotion.
I agree with this, its the way it should be. Only thing i will say, at the end it shouldn't matter how good or bad the facilities are, promote and relegate regardless. Magic Edgy Olympic facilities have been built over decades, a team like mayfield should play out of their home ground, improve facilities where they can with council assistance, if their facilities remain poor, players wont play there and they will get relegated. someone else will take their place. Yes some games will be played on poor surfaces, but that still happens in the NPL today.
Is the directive a FFA one or a NNSW one?
Another signing for Valentine in the Herald today. Putting together a competitive squad for 2020.
