Is that the same tenambit field that was washed out for most of last season?
Nelson Bay will be out to spoil Beros Promotion party on Saturday, with ex Nelson Bay player Macca in goals he will be hearing plenty of Banter behind the goals, with Bero needing all 3 points on Saturday it will play to Nelson Bays advantage. Nelson Bay are happy to park the bus and watch Bero feel some pressure trying to break down a 9-0-1 formation. Nelson Bay are happy to have back our speedster at the back Bailache who was on holiday in Europe when we were Raped by the Kingfishers.
Boring.Quote:

I'm sure if you asked all players in any level of football in Newcastle, let alone ZL1, they'd be more than happy to play at Magic Park every week.
Absurd? I think not.
come on the bay
if bero bt Nbay, Suns need to win by 2 over kot to get in
Fire up Beroo!
Purely playing devis advocate here.Quote:

FYI, I'm glad a ZL1 Club gets to host the GF but would the highest placed Finalist not be the fairest way to choose the host.
Why does that matter? Pretty sure a few years ago suns hosted the grand final at Magic Park with no grades in the gf and it was a fantastic day. About 30 suns boys were there cheering on the other games too from the start until end of the day.Quote:

I have no doubts you guys will host a great day.Quote:

Let me point out I've got no gripe in you guys hosting it and I'm glad it's a ZL1 club hosting it instead of a NPL club, just purely bringing it up for conversational sake as others may think along the lines of what I've stated.
It wouldn't be a home game for suns. They play out of Connelly park don't they?Quote:

My prediction is that the grand final ground will be a neutral venue for the first grade fixture anyway and that's quite fair.Quote:

Let's just get back to the football chat anyway because these kind of pointless discussions are exactly that. Especially when there's such an exciting final round of football to be played. First grade has two teams fighting for club promotion and first place. While three teams are in contention for the final place in the top 4. Good luck to all.
harsh. I'd bet all of Bero would have a blast hosting their own GF. Not forgetting that nelson bay, weston has hosted ID GFs before which was a long* travel for most.Quote:

I didn't mean for this to come across in a bad way about Bero. I'm sure whoever and wherever it was hosted, that club/s would do their very best job.Quote:

Secondly, that because the Suns might not make the finals in first grade, they shouldn't have the rights to host the GF..
I seriously can't understand why there would be any serious complaints that the GF is being played at Magic Park..
Anyway...
Any predictions for the weekend?
Saturday is promotion day..
N Bay v Bero - Dolphin Messenger seems to think N Bay will park the bus to ruin Bero's hopes of finishing first. I know if I was playing for N Bay I'd be chasing the win so that I could play finals football! I still think Bero will come out on top in this one. (Bero 2+)
Westlakes v Suburbs - Lakes with next to nothing to play for after Morissets win last week moved them 3 points clear with a much better GD. Suburbs will win comfortably here hoping that Bero drop points at the bay. (Suburbs 4+)
Morisset v Jesmond - Pretty much a dead rubber. Morisset can't advance higher up the ladder and Jesmond will be looking for a good performance going into the finals - unless they're wanting to rest players and keep them fit and save the trip out there.. (Jesmond in a close one)
'Potential' 4th place play-off
Kotara v Suns - The results on Saturday could impact the mood in first grade here.. A N Bay win rules both these guys out. A draw or Bero win opens the door for either team to take 4th place. Kotara in the box seat here and can afford to even lose this game and take 4th. Suns must win by 2 goals or more to take 4th. hopefully the rain stays away and then depending on the Saturday results, a big day on sunday!
No complaints from me about the gf at magic park hopefully we can make the gf....love playing there
I'm pumped for Sunday! hopefully things go our way on Saturday!Quote:

Huge weekend of games to finish the regular season..
Obviously us Gardo boys are looking to beat Westlakes and can only hope that Nelso can get Bero to drop some points (of which a win for Nelso can secure them a semis spot).. If we win, but Bero still win, then that will be the third year in a row that we have come second by a single, solitary point.. :facepalm:
Very interesting that the minor premiership will be decided on Saturday, I imagine there will be a lot of texts or checks to the foz for results on Sat arvo..
Mo-town will be looking to spoil Jesmond's finish to the season even though Jezzo will definitely get third or fourth..
While Kotara vs Suns is going to be a cracker of a match out at Nesbitt, Suns will be hurting a bit after their loss last week but are techincally still able to pinch 4th spot depending on goals and other results..
Good luck to all teams, bring on the weekend!!
PREDICTED SUNDAY WEATHER
On Sunday, the deluge unleashes on the east coast as the low moves towards it. If you live between southeast QLD and Victoria’s East Gippsland, now is time to get the washing and gardening done or stock up on your DVDs and board games as Sunday will be a super soaker. Widespread falls of at least 25mm and as much as 100mm are forecast for some parts of the coast between Port Macquarie and the Gold Coast. Brisbane and Sydney are likely to see their heaviest rain in at least five months.
what happens if we cant play sunday at Kotara??
Watchout for the long throwin BeroQuote:

No long throw this weekend he is suspended for too many yellows the last yellow 3 weeks ago but got the notification this week which is a shame.Quote:

N Bay v Bero

Start of 2nd half
Nelson Bay player sent Danny Burt was scorer after realising from the tinnies
Always going to be a tough one for N Bay in these circumstances with bero chasing promotion. What happened in other grades?
BERO 2
BAY 0
bay held tight at the back, defended very well, but never looked like scoring. credit to the rest if the team holding their shape when old mate got sent. big celebrations tonight, then back to business next week at training. good luck to everyone else tomorrow.
