2015 National Premier League thread

[The Postman]

Isn't that the idea of having lower grades. Or they just don't rate there lower grade keeper.

The way I read it was they only have 4 keepers - Fogarty, Smith, 19s and 17s. And they don't really want the 19s GK playing against City as it could get out of hand, It would hurt their NPL chances for those 3 weeks too. Smith did his Hammy hence why they only have the 2 Youth GKs left. But rules are rules, always thought clubs should carry 3 keepers for 1sts and Ressies.

[jets04]

I read in the paper yesterday that edgeworth are trying to get a special dispensation from nnsw to sign a new keeper for 3 weeks until young fogarty is playing again. Do people think this should be granted? Or should the rules be strictly enforced with no players being allowes to sign after June 30. I know they are having a great year and this could ruin their season. But should that be a factor in the decision. I personally think it should be rejected

I think you should go and read the article again. It states that they want to sign a keeper for the FFA cup game against melbourne City. It also says that this keeper would be not be able to play in the NPL as he was signed after the June 30 deadline. There is no mention of bending the rules to be able to allow him to play in the NPL.

If that's the case, then I fully support them being allowed to sign a keeper for the FFA Cup. But it surely has to be someone unattached to another club.

So basically, their options are Bowlo and not many others?

I think if you read it again you will see it says that edgy have asked for and are awaiting for an answer on special dispensation to sign a keeper for the rest of the NPL SEASON

Whats John Solari up to these days?

[The Acolyte]

I know that goalkeepers get the advantage when there,s a coming together in the box , but you good ol' boys are trying to change the rules a bit too much. goalkeeper is a position on the field just the same as striker. What would the consesus be if they were running short of strikers?. Go and sign a striker?. All clubs in Australia in all football codes use 30th of July as the cut off point. If a team only has 10 players available for the remainder of the season , they play with 10 players. Call it bad management or call it bad luck , that's how it is. There's only one rule for all and everyone knows the rule.

Think you mean June 30, but I agree . Can you imagine how Edgeworth and Millsy would carry on if Magic or Jaffas were trying to sign a new keeper after the cut off

[The Acolyte]

Yeah, sorry June 30 is correct, might have got some of the good ol' boys excited. What rules do they think apply to the teams they may meet in the FFA Cup. Suggest they find one of their players with two hands and put some gloves on them, same as any other team without a recognised keeper has to do

[ForeverRed]

Correct

[Thomas477]

Pretty sure even in the EPL there's an allowance to sign a new keeper if you're suffering a lot of injuries, maybe a bit like how Jens Lahmen (?) returned to arsenal in 2011

How did edgy get on or are northern still out to lunch

[ForeverRed]

If they get to play a new keeper it would be laughable, although I really don't think nnswf are that gullible, or are they

[Bremsstrahlung]

So the player points system was brought in to try and encourage clubs promoting from within, right?
Why is it so barbaric that they have to play their 19s goalkeeper? Obviously they don't have a lot of faith in them or interest in getting him some experience.
FR, when the 22s/reserve keeper broke his foot, didn't southy have to end up bringing the original 17s goalkeeper up? And use him in 22s and bench for first grade? No special compensations allowed for Southy?

[Bremsstrahlung]

There we go:



Eagles decide not to use outside help

Veteran Edgeworth goalie Ben Smith is expected to play through injury on Saturday.
Veteran Edgeworth goalie Ben Smith is expected to play through injury on Saturday.

EDGEWORTH have used a little-known registration rule to gain permission to sign a goalkeeper after the June 30 deadline but will instead ask veteran Ben Smith to play through injury in goal for the top-of-the-table clash with Lambton at Edden Oval on Saturday.

Smith came off early in the second half of the 2-0 loss to Adamstown last Sunday with a hamstring strain, leaving the Northern NSW National Premier League leaders with under19s goalkeeper Jake Fairhall as their only fit shot-stopper in seniors. No.1 goalkeeper Jim Fogarty damaged his shoulder on June 28 against Magic and is only hopeful of recovering in time for the finals in four weeks.

Edgeworth explored their options this week and found that Football Federation Australia regulations allowed for the registration of goalkeepers past the June 30 cut-off if the club gains dispensation from its member federation.

Eagles coach Damian Zane said the club gained permission and had time to sign a new keeper for the crunch game against second-placed Lambton but decided against the move.

Not wanting Fairhall, 19, to play all three grades, Zane has asked Smith to roll the dice with his injury against the Jaffas in first grade. Smith is also likely to start in the club’s FFA Cup match against Melbourne City on August 4.

Zane said bringing in a new keeper as an injury replacement would rule an existing gloveman out for at least four weeks, when they could return earlier. He was also not prepared to deal with negative reaction from rival clubs.

‘‘The physio has said Ben should be out for weeks, but you could imagine what all the other clubs would say if we signed a new one – that Edgy are getting favours and whatever,’’ Zane said. ‘‘But we had a crack team on the case and we went by the laws. People want to criticise it, but they don’t know the rules.

‘‘We had time to find and sign one, but in the end I decided, whatever happens, happens.’’

A win over the Jaffas will put Edgeworth five points ahead of the defending major premiers and at least three points clear of the league with three games remaining.

Zane said if the Eagles lost on Saturday, he would likely play Fairhall in the league next week and rest Smith before the FFA Cup game.

Smith, 35, was a long-time first-grade keeper at Edgeworth and stayed on this season as support for Fogarty and to help bring through the club’s young glovemen.

He has had intensive physiotherapy this week on the hamstring injury, which was deemed a ‘‘low grade-two tear’’.

He trained lightly on Thursday night and was hopeful of getting through the match.

‘‘Another week would be great, but I think I’m it,’’ he said.

Smith was hopeful the return of Josh Evans, Cameron Hughes, Aaron McLoughlin and Bray Smith would see the Eagles bounce back.

NNSW Football operations manager Alan Nisbet said he had never registered a player for a season after June 30 in his 23 years with the organisation. He said NNSWF regulations did not allow keepers to move between clubs after June 30, but overriding FFA rules provided dispensation if the governing body and the member federation approved.

The Jaffas welcome back Michael Bridges into their squad, who beat Magic 2-0 last week.

Was at the game today and though even though Magic were missing some, they were never really in the game. They had a good 20 minutes second half but to be fair to South Cardiff, they wanted it more and were by far the better side. If the Korean boy could shoot, they could have been 5 up at half time.

Talk about resting is shite, FFA cup or semi's?????? Virgilli will they sack him, whisper today, gone
outplayed, out muscled, by a better team on the day.
Ref tried his best to give them a boost, still didn't work.
A bit of passion from the hill and the remembrance of the legendary "Stack" who passed away on Friday.

Great day out for the gunners and a great win remembering our old groundsman and all round good guy john stack Howe, I had to leave not long after kick off to watch my son play but I did here we dominated much of the play, funny what happens when you get all your players available, a lot of work to be done yet but in backing us, who else is

After their result today and with the player from the youth missing due to their inclusion on the jets junket up north I'm expecting the jets youth to shorten a little, dissapointing the jets aren't holding up their end of the bargain by putting out their strongest team, especially this time of the season after some teams have played them at full strength and now there dishing up 16 year olds in first grade, not good enough I'm afraid, time to go jets youth

Not sure you have your facts correct, the team on the park today is no different from who has been fielded the majority of the season, the players you refer to going up North all played today and will be back to play Magic next weekend. On a positive note good to see The Jets given the youth an opportunity as that is what their ultimate ambition is and have not been given these opportunities in recent times always went to outsiders.

[Charman]

I thought yoof number 10 was their best player today, he is 17. Not age, it is attitude and their defence is playing horribly. Sorry to say but the gk has no presence out there.

Just going of information from some olympic people, if I'm wrong I apologise

[Fairgo]

Just going of information from some olympic people, if I'm wrong I apologise


Hahaha I think that is an apology. From what I could see from watching them over recent months the only regular that was not playing today was Tom Waller not sure why and Ryan Endsor (I think that is his name) injured. The goalie had a shocker today. Comparing them to last year they have lost their attacking power and their midfield is weaker can not hold possession and too much giving it away and being caught with the ball hence the defence being hammered due to the large amount of turnovers. Defence starts up front this is not happening. Credit to Olympic they had a lot to play for and were up for it today. Good luck for the next few weeks it is not over to the fat lady sings.

[Verhallen]

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster. I just had to post because this boiled my blood.

I happened to be at Darling Street Oval today and was absolutely appalled with how James Pascoe addressed his team at half time. He could be heard from the toilet block (which backs onto the sheds) yelling at the top of his lungs at the players, yelling horrendous language directly AT players. His tirade also included a rant of how the players are unwanted beyond this season and that they should find new state league clubs, even suggesting clubs for these players.

Yes, granted it was 4-0 to Olympic at HT, but this is not an isolated incident. I go to the occasional NPL and NYL game when I can and have observed that over the last few years how he berates his players often. But for me, today was too far.

I have noticed that recently, 3-4 usual Jets Youth players are no longer in the NPL matchday squads (A-League pre-season committments perhaps?) and so the squad has been stretched VERY thin with some young kids being thrown in to start. I was told some have been playing injured recently and even 15/16 year olds filling the substitutes bench after playing in the U/22's game beforehand. I understand that that's not an excuse for a 7-0 defeat, but it's certainly not helpful. Yes they had a shocker today and Olympic were on fire but I just don't think it's ever warranted to treat people with such disdain and disrespect. It was akin to the way Gary van Egmond spoke (yelled, rather) as his U/22 team at South Cardiff a while back. Just appalling. Disgusting.

[MFKS]

Considering Pascoes role exactly why was he addressing the players at all


He ain't there coach

Why is he even on the bench???

According to this morning's Herald coach of youth for this game was Mark Jones
This sounds more likely to me. Had little to do with Jones but Pascoe, even raising his voice sounds very un pascoe like to me.

[Verhallen]

MFKS - Pascoe started in the stands, made his way behind the bench during the first half, then 'addressed' the players at HT.

Why Blue - Yes, Jones was 'officially' running the show yesterday but Pascoe got involved. He raises his voice at pretty well every game I have seen, but not to the magnitude and content of his tirade yesterday.

Fair enough, you were there. My involvement with Pascoe has been at a younger level 14-15yo boys and I must say I always admired his temperament he was always so casual
Maybe his expectations are higher with the older boys
Certinally the team seemed to perform better last year under his coaching

This is correct. 'Roasting' is an understatement. The way he carried on was completely out of order.

Was at this game and your correct blueboy. Pascoe wasn't on the bench but standing directly behind it. His halftime expletive laden rant was both brutal and disgraceful to a bunch of 17 yr old kids. You didn't have to be in the toilets behind the changerooms to hear it either. I was in the stand in front of the sheds and it was clearly audible to myself and everyone else around the area. Even a group of 22s players sitting along the fenceline were talking about how loud he was. 4-0 down or not this is definitely not a good look for our supposed flagship football club in our region.

After his vicious outburst yesterday, how tenable is his position around the youth team now? I'd imagine they've lost all respect for the guy. Losing 7-0 at this level is mentally scarring enough without what happened at HT. At FT, the players had a look of horror written on their faces, they seemed quite affected by it.

The poor kids might not have the courage to stand up and bring these events to light for fear of retribution within the club, but I'll stand up for them and put this out into the open.

Best of luck to Scott Miller, on previous form the list of alleged clowns could be more likened to picadors. The white ants with little ability and big ambitions are still there. He'll think he's coaching at Sheffield when all the cutlery starts heading his way. The GRUBS have already overseen the demise of a coach, and maybe some forget the alliances that some of these cutlery chuckers had that was written between the lines on that occasion.

gunners v edgeworth friday at 7.30pm at edgeworth for those who are unaware

[Blueboy]

Southy Vs Edgy 2-1 southy, Magic vs Jets 1-1, Blues vs Maitland 2-1 Blues , Olympic vs Weston 3-0 Olympic, Jaffas vs Buds 2-2

[ForeverRed]

Southy Vs Edgy 2-1 southy, Magic vs Jets 1-1, Blues vs Maitland 2-1 Blues , Olympic vs Weston 3-0 Olympic, Jaffas vs Buds 2-2
I like this tipster

[Beast]

So has the Edgy Southy game now been moved to Friday to give them a few more days recovery. Big question is will they be resting any players for the FFA cup leaving the door open for the Reds to steal a couple of points.

[ForeverRed]

The game was moved without any consultation, we argued to play Saturday, the rule states 72 hours between games, this way all 3 grades get to play, all our first graders can play, 2 missing because they live in Sydney, our response from nnswf was we need to give edgeworth every opportunity to beat Melbourne city, ffs, if they only let in 5 they should be happy, I'm more then happy to support the teams in the FFA cup but changing the game with out consultation is not on, if I was edgeworth I'll be sending my best 11 out Friday night, the premiership is what they should be after, good luck to both teams

[Bremsstrahlung]

While I can respect and understand and agree with nnsw wanting to give edgeworth extra days recovery, I don't think it should disadvantage other clubs.
You say you're missing 2 x players. I'm assuming these players would usually be available on the Saturday/Sunday...which means southy are disadvantaged with this change.
I wonder if they would be so understanding if roles reversed?
FR, were southy given any concessions last year when they had to travel to Melbourne to play?

[ForeverRed]

Upon our return from Melbourne on the Thursday we were to play on Saturday, we asked early in the week to have it changed to Sunday but were told that's what cup football is about

[Stanley]

Hi Red, you should be confident with recent good results, undefeated since "Miner Intervention"

Quick question FR
Were these Sydney based players developed thru the southy centre of excellence ????
Or the Korean one ???

I don't get it? Southy only have one Korean in their first grade eligible squad, the same as a few other clubs have had...
And I imagine one of the players is Bures who played for southy first grade for a few years after joining them due to lack of oppurtunity at Magic.
Getting a bit tense over at high fields is it?

We all know the fed have no regard for the rules of the comp and also the fact the Edgy have a different set of rules to every other club.

2-0 edgy I heard?

[john]

Playing edgy on a friday night is one of the best games you can play in all year...you know your up for a tough game..plus you have the rest of the weekend to do what you want...im sure the southy players felt the same.

[The General]

Decent enough game. Thought Southy battled really hard to be fair. Even enough in the first half, Edgy far better in the second. Southy held on till about 5 to go. A Maitland loss will make it interesting, but Southy will need a bit of luck. Good to see them fighting. Edgeworth deserve the premiership.

[stopper2]

Well done to Edgy, not only do they look like wrapping up the Premiership but they are doing it with one of the youngest squads in the NPL. They have a clear policy of promoting Youth over the past 2-3 seasons and it is now paying off. In contrast a couple of other "big" clubs below them don't seem to have any incentive for their younger players.
One has become lazy the past few years, has arguably the strongest juniors year after year but thinks that getting the scraps off the Jets Youth/Emerging Jets is the way to go.
The other has one of the highest paid players (and oldest) in the comp coming off the bench for 20 minutes each week and rarely gives players from it's strong 22's side a run.
Weston is another club who deserves credit for promoting it's Youth and is once again having another good season.

[ForeverRed]

Promoting other clubs juniors should have been your sentence, edgeworth never gave a crap about youth until Zane became coach, his done well but please don't go on about it, foley stole all the good kids and edgeworth were the fortunate ones to pick them up, Gary Wilson had no idea what a youth player was, all credit to Zane as his the only one who promoted kids

Okay then, credit to Zane. A lot of good kids at other clubs too just battling away in 22's not getting a go in 1st grade. That's the point I'm making, Edgey at least have had the balls to put faith in these youngsters and it is now paying off. By the way I have nothing to do with Edgey, just saying how I see it.
Also if these kids wanted to follow Foley over to Edgey (a few have since gone to other clubs anyway) then why are you phrasing it as if "Foley stole all the good kids"....happens quite often in football, groups of players following a certain coach to other clubs.

That is hilarious stopper2. All credit to them as they are having a great season. But a youth policy for the last 2-3 years? Last year they bought sanchez up front krncevik cam hughes Dylan holtz brae smith luke walker and josh evans. Some promoting of youth policy there I must say. Agree Zane has done well this year sticking by young blokes like keanu moore and brody taylor at the expense of the likes of tannock and pritchard but please call a spade a spade stopper

[immersion]

A couple of the young players doing well at Edgy were brought in under the wilson campaign. Moore, taylor, brice, Italian left back, Dillon, (may have missed players). quite few got a taste for 1st grade last year from what i saw. So, i wonder who really get the credit. Obviously its both. One would not have the success without the foundation from the other.

Shooting from the hip again FR.

Also i think Zane on brought in Olozomer (spelling??), The italian left back was there a couple of years and returned, Tannock also returning. So one could suggest Zane only brought in one player from what i can gather. Zane's squad is young and the majority have been at the club for 2 years or more. Hence, Wilson laying a more than fair foundation for a coach to step into.

No doubt that Zane deserves a hell of a lot of credit, but all the credit? i would tend to think not.

Also, these young players probably would have struggled last year. I think the club as a whole has done well for youth football in general. But it doesn't come down to one person.

A point vs edgy and I'd have backed them.
A win vs rosebuds would set up a cracker of a final round. Cmon nnsw make it happen.
Hopefully there's still some fight left up at Ulinga on Sunday.

I don't think "wishing" relegation on any club is ideal, for aforementioned reasons, but obviously everyone has a club they would prefer to go down.
magician would prefer Maitland to go back down, some of you would prefer Southy to go, some want to see Azzurri out, some want to see the Jets Youth finish last, all personal preference.

Reading today's article in the paper, surely there is a better way too pick player of the year? Maybe each coach submits a 3 2 1. The Refs can't even do their job right, and obviously doing a average job, with the voting. How Macpherson isn't at the top is a joke. He is the standout midfielder of the comp by a long way

Have to agree with you here Blueboy. I don't even think remington would make my top 5 from what I have watched this year. My top 5 would be
Macpherson (jaffas)
Moore (edgeworth)
Mooney (olympic)
Evans (edgeworth)
Wheelhouse (jaffas)

NIF scrapped this system during this season as it was too hard for the referees to worry about who's getting the points when they're focussed on doing their actual job.

Ditto with opposing coaches. Now each side just nominates their best.

I just want to throw my two cents into this discussion. I don't get to see too many NBN league games due to zone league committments so can't comment on the younger generation of players coming through and who is the best going around, but I have always felt Macpherson doesn't get the true recognition he deserves. Fantastic player.

tan^2 (45+x) = [ tan(45 + x ) ]^2

= ( 1 + tanx )^2 / ( 1 - tan x )^2
= ( 1 + 2 tan x + tan^2 x ) ( 1 - 2tanx + tan^2 x )
= ( sec^2 x + 2tan x ) / ( sec^2 x - 2tan x )
= ( 1/ cos^2x + 2sinx / cos x ) / ( 1/ cos^2x + 2sinx / cos x )

= [ ( 1 + 2sinx cos x ) / cos^2 x) ] / [ ( 1 -2sinx cos x ) / cos^2 x) ]

1st Grade W/D
22 W/D
18 W/D

I thought that was the case, all good

[Beast]

Sounds like some people will need to find a new club to hate next season.

On the upside wouldn't think Southy spent the same dollars as Other clubs finishing just above them. Now have an opportunity for the new committee to rebuild and recruit for a new start. wish them the best of luck, not a flash high profile club but definitly a working class club trying hard.

The figure I was told Maitland payed Thompson this season as well as other sweeteners was over the top IMO definitely not value for money for the club, but he certainly done well out of it. Not sure how long they can keep that up.

It's just football, relegation is a fact, could have been Maitland, Charlestown, but it's Southy - I don't hate them. In fact, I feel sorry for FR and the committee there as its tough to deal with.

[hawk]

rather southy in comp then valentinephoenixrangers at a all round sports ground cahill oval.. who dont serve beer, good football or women!!!

You're not saying Valo are only there cause they bought a 1st team?

I am new to this site just thought i would post a rumour I heard this morning and that is Shane Pryce will leave Charlestown and head to Weston next year and be replaced at Charlestown by Steve Piggot

shane pryce is a quality coach, if he can get some decent cattle together, i would expect a major push from a team under his guidance

Where has this come from?

[winner]

Because nnsw are hopeless. Last round and every game should kick off at same time. I heard Olympic found out that Edgeworth were kicking off at 2.45 instead of 2.30 so sent a request to nnsw that all games should be same time kick offs . When nnsw wouldn't make them all the same time Olympic requested to also kick off at 2.45 so as Edgeworth didn't have the advantage of knowing what result they needed

Last 2 or even 3 rounds and so it should in the A League!!!!

Relax there mate, just the final round is enough. No league in the world has the last 2 or 3 rounds played at the same time.

Hmmmm... So Southy, Maitland, Weston, Valentine, Charlestown all looking for new coaches next year... any other clubs? Not many B-Licensed coaches out there in the market-place.

I had heard he had left rather than pushed. My question is where will he end up?
Has Shane Pryce left Charlestown as well?
It's a merry-go-round!

Did anyone else notice that 2 games are scheduled for Saturday too... Jaffas win on Sat and Edgie and Olympic both choke on Sunday... thats a Minor premiership to Jaffas on goal dif.

Shane pryce will be at Charlestown

[Bremsstrahlung]

Jaffas to crumble and ship 6 goals after Bridges takes it to the corner in the first minute.
Maitland to get done 5-0.
Forum to implode.

just had a look at the revised referees appointments-shows all first grade games starting at 2.45

[Ker-Plunk]

don't be surprised if there is a drama in the ghetto and eagles start late

[terryk]

Maybe magic if they don't make the Semis.

From what I hear Magic are planning on doing further improvements around Magic Park. They will be in need of a good bricklayer, so the chances of Chill being shown the door are odds on with a grand final being played at Darling Street.

[judge]

Northern wouldn't allow Darling St. to host a Grand Final, the ground would never cope with the crowd. Edgy did a good job last year but the crowd was down on previous years. Magic have the best local ground to host the Grand Final, hence that's where its played.

Dubious reporting, keeper flattened the attacker, clumsy challenge, one eyed reporting at its best.

Heard Steve Piggott to Maitland
& Shane Pryce staying at Azzurri

Very lacklustre game, some of these guys are robbing clubs by expecting match payments for the rubbish they serve up.

Wow you are having a laugh. 2 disallowed goals for olympic. 1 over the line by half a metre and the other for a debatable offside. Both teams were average

[Ker-Plunk]

sad blaming the ref , one team may have been average . but the other was below average . shutdown mooney ,outmuscle goodchild , and their gooone .

[hamburgler]

I thought semis were 1v4 & 2v3 home and away with both winners straight to gf. Fox sports pulse shows old system for finals format. Is fox sports right?

I get the feeling PoxSports stuffed up right across the board with this. It happened in NewFM too.
4 v 1 & 3 v 2 - 1st week of finals; reversed the week after.

highest paid reserve bench in the league

[mervan]

highest paid reserve bench in the league

Today they had Pettit, casserole and finlayson on the bench, coach did the norm and took the two youngest off first.

From what I have seen from the others it's edgys to lose, the others are too old and too slow. This league has passed a few by.

Mind you the three named above would be staters at the bottom four clubs.

Haters Gonna Hate!!!

[Ker-Plunk]

mmmm , touch a nerve did I ?

[seldom]

If your club can afford to pay bench players and they are happy to fill that role, obviously your club is doing something right. This sounds like pure jealousy IMO.

How's thommo going?

ha all the gang awake I see . thommo doin ok , playin the full game putting in . prob enjoying a few end of season drinks .

Piggo back to Maitland, in the paper today.

That's on the assumption that they are being paid... Are you in the know???

[ForeverRed]

The money some players are commanding is amazing to say the least but this is only fuelled by the couple of clubs who pay way over what this competition is worth

Also you forgot to mention the lads who did not even get stripped- Rhys Tippet , Chris Berlin and the Korean Kid..(Korsa)i think..
And mind you I would take those 6 in a heart beat to any team.

[ForeverRed]

On average what do you think a fair payment for this comp to be?
On average 6 hours a week, 2 nights training plus game day at 50 an hour, for 18 weeks = $300 a win or $5,400 win lose or draw, handy little tax free Holliday at season end, each to their own this is just my personal opinion

[GO AWAY]

I thought semis were 1v4 & 2v3 home and away with both winners straight to gf. Fox sports pulse shows old system for finals format. Is fox sports right?

Says same in today's paper also on nnsw website, maybe they doing top five format for u19 and 22 and home and away for first grade only ???

i think 300 would be only be for those "elite" players in the comp. clubs are promoting youth in their teams now, giving the young ones 300 a week based on your numbers would once again lead to them asking for more in another year or 2

when i started out, getting 50 a week was great in the scheme of things coming out of the junior grades. think players really need to start earning these big bucks they ask for by putting in some solid seasons and maturing a bit first

A few clubs pay double this plus more, it's killing the spread of talent through out clubs I believe

maybe these clubs should spend more on facilities and top line coaches to make the club itself look like the big carrot to chase. i know we all would like to play somewhere thats got nice sheds, nice stands, level playing surface that can withstand the winter weather. maybe these things would attract and keep players seeing as though there are clubs always going to wave cash around

You only need to look as far as Broadmeadow to see that this works and pays dividends.
