It would have been better to have a story on bero's strong start to ffa cup.
So if he did answer the phone, Azzuri v Weston and Maitland v Adamstown would have been at Beresfield ??? Please
I think i agree games should be at the smallest club for each particular game day where plausible. But i mean, if you're the primary contact and you expect a call that would be very beneficial to your club then you glue your phone to yourself/check email constantly. can empathise with nnsw locking in the grounds as soon as they receive an offer. Also even if he did answer right away nnsw wouldn't give it to them if they still had the other offers.
Who doesn't get emails on their phones these days?
Just to put some info out there....
We at Jesmond, as the home team I was told, were contacted and offered to host Belswans in our fixture. Although was indicated they needed to know fairly quickly, upon requesting we were given until the next day so we could check on ground availability and also liaise with squad.
Were happy with how we were treated especially as the littlest mob left in the competition.

The mode and timing of the contact is the problem here. If they want a relatively quick response, ring first and follow up with email confirmation. Don't leave it until less then an hour before 'deadline' to pick up the phone.
Alternatively , prior to the draw send an email out to all clubs left asking them that if they are drawn at home would they want to host the games.
You then take the clubs that said yes and proceed to draw that out a hat to come up with the fairest way to allocate the hosting clubs and thus remove people having a reason to debate the fairness of the whole hosting club deciding factors.
That sort of forward planning is too organised for Northern.Quote:

If what I have read is correct then there are six teams to be determined to represent Southern Pool and two from Northern Pool to make up the teams on qualifying weekend in June. I don't know how many have to be done but if there are three teams from lower division and three from NPL then it should go something likeQuote:

Five NPL teams drawn to play each other with 4 going head to head with winners to qualify and fifth team direct qualification through the bye.
Other than that if it is to be all in the draw then there would be only four teams left meaning two luck losers to go through.
Have heard its an open draw, so all teams in the ring and whoever can play whoever.
Definitely not an open draw Go Away. The final 8 will be made up of 3 Npl clubs, 3 lower division clubs and 2 clubs from up north. So Singleton and the winners of the Westy/Thornton and Belswans/Jesmond will progress to the final 8. Then 1 Npl club will get the bye and the other 4 Npl teams will play off for the final 2 spots. Confirmed by nnsw todayQuote:

Plus, the bye is a luxury. Why shouldn't the team that was the most successful of the previous year be afforded the luxury? From all reports on this forum you dont get much for winning the GF or Minor Prem. This would be a nice added perk IMO.
No dount you probably wouldn't be happy with this comment "Winner". But i do think it is the best way to handle it.
