Yeah cheers to tenambit from the roosters as well it all started from our ground being washed out
Cheers to cooks hill to who was happy to swap to get the game in
Hopefully the weather holds out so we don't have to have the same run around this weekend
What's the chances going to be to get a game on Sunday at cookers field after having 3 games played on it on Saturday
Might have to 'Robbie Fowler' up the lines a bit and pray there's no more rain after Saturday but should be on.Quote:

The rate this rain is going tenambit could be only useful if Ur a duck. We do get control of the ground back on Friday arvos but any damage is billed to the club. On a personal note I'm happy for the games to go to Tenambit means I can get on the beers and it's not as far to get home. HahaQuote:

Na no typo mate we were the away team today and scored 3 goals so that's makes 6 and last weeks 1 goal being the home team makes it 7 in total on aggregate
Check the team sheet from today and you see we were the away team
Oh god!!
They only count as away goals if it's tied after the two legs bud. Was it tied after two legs?Quote:

Sorry about that retro jet
Bloody Kurri,nothing but a bunch if grubs anyway
Well well well, I am surprised at those results. Kurri res grade obviously improved greatly throughout the year but RAAF were clearly the strongest team in res (in my eyes) all year. To get both teams through to GF is a great effort.
Cookers 1st grade seemed to stall in the back end of the season, I would have had them v Simba in 1st grade GF at the 1/2 way point of the year.
Should make for 2 interesting GF's due to the different playing styles of kurri v samba and cookers v kurri. Good luck to all.
4-1 didn't reflect the sum of both games, it was a lot closer than that on the pitch, but Kurri took all their chances and Cooks Hill didn't so props to them. Should be a good match up in 1sts next week against Simba.Quote:

No suprise that kurri are in the final. They appear to play with more commitment and spirit then all the rest in this competition. Kurri may look to try dominate simba physically, they will battle hard for every play.
Cooks hill should win reserves. Good effort from kurri to make the final. They appeared to look much improved and sharper in game 3 against us( going of the 30 mins I seen).
Anyway best of luck to all involved. Would have come watch, but being on fathers day, no chance.
Had several phone calls this morning concerning grounds.
Beryl Humble under water.... Ducks 1 - Football 0
Idea was proposed of moving to games to King Pk...(see above) = Ducks 2 - Football 0
The search is still on. Watch this space!
King park would be fine, best wet weather fields around as they are playing there this morning as I drove past, it's just booked out that's all
Have heard they want to re play the grand final mid week what a load of shit there would have to be over 500 fields in newcastle and the hunter and we can't get a game on one of them
1 of the cookers boys didn't get the message and went to tenambit..said it looked fine, no surface water at all. Absolute gee up. If you tell people you are hosting a grand final, host the f*cking thing.Quote:

Fully agree with ya there man who the hell wants to play a grand final mid week I don't know why there wasn't more options available today with the weather we have had latelyQuote:

Attempt to find an alternate venue is an absolute disgrace on
Newcastle footballs behalf.
+1. I generally think Newcastle football do a pretty good job, but I am very surprised there was not 1 or 2 back up grounds locked away with all the rain we've been having. Shouldn't be having to scramble around grand final morning looking for a kick. Mad Monday plans in disarray! I should be on the piss now after a hard fought game!Quote:

In my opinion we should be doing away with grandfinals and finals all together. I know I stand in the minority on this topic but have always believed the team at the top at seasons end are the best team and shouldn't then have to win a gf to prove that. More teams in each league extend the season a tad longer, would save all the bullshit that comes about with finals and the ifs and buts when wet weather plays it's part in the finals.
I agree ur in the minority
Go to the pub lads!!
Hey sharky, I do take ur point on the safety of players but one does sometimes wander about decisions as u guys have probably the most precious ground going. We know u get hit hard with fines if u proceed and damage the pitch, having said that I can't see how anyone actually expected to get a gig yesterday, It f@#ing pissed down all week! The games should now be next Sat, no ifs or butts!
And yes.......u are in the minority. I know finals in football globally are not the norm but in Aus it is a custom we all love (most of us). How about also, the spare weekends, if it is fine the comp moves forward a week (so 2 weeks this year). To bad so sad for those who are away etc. it is football season, playing takes priority.
Hopefully common sense prevails and the GF is next Sat.
From the word that has been going around so far I highly doubt it will be a Saturday game have heard cause of zpl gf next Saturday and npl Sunday but who knows
I hope they do see it like the players and see we just want a grand final and be able to enjoy it on a weekend with supporters just as every other division has had the chance to today
yep unlike the world aussies have finals and for years if needed we've played in bog holes if needed. fk this puttin it back sh1t.
have it on friday night then get on the cans.
Cooks hill have 2 teams in ZPL Gf next week and even taking that into account there is no way we want ZL3 to play anytime other than Saturday. No one is going to toss up watching ZPL or ZL3..if you are following a team you watch that game, and that's that. Surely Newcastle football can have 1 person at the ZL3 GF. I'd week grand final is a horrible idea and we won't be up for it at all.Quote:
