we only want people who want to be at the club not because theyre being paid to be there
has it cost us signing players in the past - yes, will it cost us signing players in the future - yes
either way we have managed to be competitive in first grade most seasons without paying players
Went up to the grounds this morning to do some work and was greeted with this. Fair play to who ever is responsible, I fair pissed myself when I saw it.

Why are people so unkind
Looooooool that right there is what Newy Football is all about.
Whoever did that, just gets it.
Unreal. Outstanding.
They could have really rubbed it in by having it up for the last home game.Quote:

Interesting quote from the Email.
"Also note that we have interest from 4 to 5 new Clubs for 2017; they also will have the opportunity to lodge an EOI in the Premier or other Leagues."
I have heard Maitland and Lake Macquarie want to get a Zone League side together, I wonder who the other 2-3 teams are.
That email came out about 15 mins after we started advertising for coaches.Quote:

Russell Henry was saying at the association presentation on Friday night, that they had received interest from clubs looking to enter a Zone League squad. Even through out the idea of a ZL4.
Putting any new Zone League teams, regardless of alignments to NPL and other grade, in anything higher than ZL3 is a massive sign of disrespect to existing ZL clubs, in particular the ones that come to mind being Olympic & Wallsend, who were forced to start out in ZL3 like everyone else.Quote:

I was only wondering who the Clubs would be.
Someone posted somewhere in the local forum that Shortland were looking at putting a team in. Similarly I think I remember hearing Tenambit were keen on coming back in.Quote:

And you'd imagine if Lakes & Maitland have shown interest due to the 22s converting to 20s, that maybe there's a couple more NPL teams interested also.
I couldn't see any new teams, not currently formed, getting 16 decent first grade quality players (45 squad players for the ZPL) and getting approved straight into ZPL. I would guess Suburbs will stay up along with a ZL1 side.Quote:

yeah my bad, cant count hahahaQuote:

Cooks Hill got 2nd, 3rd and first across the grades in ZL1 plus beat Swansea in preseason all three grades from memory plus beat the Cooks Hill NewFM team in a trail and thrashed the Newfm 23s near the end of the season (who were second in their comp) so I'd suspect they would be competitive although they did struggle with injuries, work family commitments over the year being an older squad (all the youngies stayed in NEWFM). Raymond Terrace also looked good in first grade during the finals series. If they could replicate that all year and beef up their lower grades they could give the ZPL a scare... how competitive were Garden Suburb?
The table doesn't tell the story for Garden Suburb. Scorelines in their matches suggested they were competitive, and were in the lower grades too. I personally think it would be harsh for them to lose the 'extra spot'.Quote:

I agreeQuote:

The team up the hill, were better than there results suggested, but luck and injuries(no shows) also played its part.
Tiggers were in a similar place a few years back, my vote would be to stay, and trust me I'm not biased towards them.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that one club could not have team in leagues without a minimum of one league between them (ie: Cookers in NEW FM and Cookers in ZL1).Quote:

Sounds a bit like an arbitrary 'wives tale' to me... what would be the point of having a grade gap? IF the team is good enough to reach the higher grade then so be it. I can see some justification in not having two teams in same grade especially because the teams are structured differently (age grouping wise) But up to zone level surely it should be if you are good enough you are young enough....Quote:

I may have missed it somewhere, but does anyone know when the actual decision from Newcastle Football is due?
No date set for the decision, only for EOI, which is 14th Oct, as far as I'm aware.Quote:

I don't think the points total reflects your season exactly. Albeit an extremely tough league this year with every week a proper battle. There wasn't an easy game all year and I think GS just didn't have that little bit extra to get over the top of teams. They certainly weren't shit kickers. Would be fair to have them stay up.Quote:

In the situation maybe a play off would be the fairest thing... maybe Cooks Hill V Raymond Terrace home and away winner to play Garden Suburb home and away... that would sort it out with out any questions of bias etc.... never happen though... sadly. It would be a bit like the 3rd sport from the championship to premier league.
I'll correct you cause you are wrong.Quote:

Wallsend, Kahibah and Cooks Hill were promoted to New FM.
Cardiff stayed up, Beresfield, Garden Suburb and Newcastle Suns were promoted to ZPL.
Edit:
Unfortunately for us at Garden Suburb the turn over of players from 1st grade 2014-2015 was high as half of our first grade was poached from NPL and NewFM clubs.
We at Garden Suburb are not a club that will try to get in the way of any player playing at a highet level and we'll encourage our mates to make the set up.
