So, IF you win the the first leg away and the 2nd leg is at your home ground and it is too wet to play you probably wouldn't be looking very hard for another ground? Or does the association take care of ground change?Quote:

And, I hope they've brewed some more for the keg.
Correct. See this is why I'll never coach. Players would be running around not knowing wtf to do!Quote:

Will handle the wet weather forecasted
Rain is certainly on its way now. Would like to think host clubs in all comps have contigencys in place to ensure their games get on this weekend
I drove past Warners Bay this morning and they had cricket covers over the side of the field near the creek.Quote:

Just to keep people posted re Sunday - the contingency if Jesmond Park is no good is King Park, Raymond Terrace, which holds water a lot better. Thanks to those involved for being accommodating.
Being proactive would be our preference rather than whatever the alternative is, which may be to try and rush games midweek or whatever.
In addition to keeping hierarchy informed we will try and keep updates on here too.
Surely you can find a better ground then Raymond terrace. Just saying
Just out of curiosity, how much does NNSW charge you to hire one of their all-weather grounds at Speers Point for a washout game (I assume they hire it out?)?
What would your suggestion be?Quote:

The distance is a pretty shitty factor but at the end of the day I'd prefer to get the match played anywhere rather than not at all....
How's the Athletics field looking for tomorrow?
:rof: you talk as if nnsw care about zone league clubs. The same northern that doesn't seem to care that half of the zone league teams in semis will miss out on the npl grand final.Quote:

Btw in my opinion the absolute ultimate field during bad weather is the sand field at Stockton. Rarely if ever gets rained out.
We decided as it's the last game of the year we wouldn't call it off, it would be up to the refs. Should be fine unless it flogs down. What we've had so far shouldn't trouble it greatlyQuote:

Cheers to the cooks hiill boys for a good clean game, a lot of class in that team, I think the terrible conditions may have helped our causeQuote:

Cooks hill good all year and crumbled during the finals. Better luck next year
Plenty of time for another team to crumble, I'm pretty sure there would be some happy teams knowing that cooks hill are out, they play a good brand of football.Quote:

So 2 games out of the 6 were results turned around from 1st leg. Always a difficult thing to do.
Jesmond just seem to thrive when people doubt them. Early in the year, even when winning, not many were fully convinced and they just kept winning. Finally lost last week and many surely would have doubted yet again and they win like that! Well done and well deserved!
Disgusting display from 1 stockton supporter. Banter is a great part of the sport but he well and truly crossed the line by abusing families watching the game and telling young girls to "Suck me off". All of this (and much more) in a park packed full of kids and families enjoying fathers day.
Worth noting a few of his fellow supporters rightly told him to stop and he'd crossed the line but that was way too late (after the fulltime whistle)
Congrats Jesmond on turning around the 1st leg defeat. Definitely showed Stockton why you finished 1st on the table today. Going to be a cracking GF!Quote:
