You don't need artificial pitches, a foot of topsoil will fix most if not all of the problems. Pelican oval flooded all the time, not any more. This was done years ago by a bunch of fathers of players

Of course it would be a prime spot for a well run Wallsend club to play in some new fantastic facilities but of course we all won't band together so I look forward to all the new rugby, AFL, hockey and pickleball courts that are about to get built.
