Clubs would be throwing money away I believe not playing at home

Yeah agreed.
Making assumptions here, I’m sure some here are more in the know, but I assume they aren’t getting canteen sales, no or split admissions, maybe not a big deal for home supporters given its cooks hill and new lambton as home teams. So clubs lose out $$. NNSWF lose out money (hope it’s not clubs footing the bills).
Just not sure what they are trying to achieve here other than branding it as a “double header” because they got a good deal to hire the ground for the whole weekend.
Play some juniors in the morning, encourage their attendance to stay, get the Jets there in some Capacity, make a festival day about it, introduce some novelty to proceedings.
Not being 100% neggy for the sake of it, but can anybody see any positives about this?
Shared with athletics perhaps rather than cricket?
We're almost certain to have our irrigation going in on Athfield in the New Year - hence the 'home' game Rnd 1 over the road, BYE, 3 away games then back at Athfield on May Day.
Makes a change for the 8 outta 1st 10 rounds at home 2018, 6 straight at home last year and 6 outta 9 at home (inc BYE) this season gone.
We have a good relationship with Athletics (NAFMI) on usage and maintenance levels and always try to work with, rather than against each other.
