We offered the ground for many more games if they wanted, despite the travel.Quote:

Plus, travel 2 hours on a bus once a season is nothing.
"In the event where Clubs are not able to host, NNSWF will reschedule as many matches as possible to be completed at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility. Please be aware pre-existing Competition matches have already been allocated to the venue so timings etc. will be adjusted for matches to be played Saturday afternoon & Sunday evening with further matches potentially being scheduled midweek."
From the official email yesterday about rescheduled matches.
I'd hope they don't try and slug clubs for using that god awful facility like they did with Heritage Cup though.
Would they have put the same pressure on npl and new fm clubs? Easier to pressure zone league clubs.Quote:

Just received an email stating that all games are on as scheduled, with the exception of those at Rathmines, which will now be at Speers Point.
Must be some great drainage at the grounds being used for only Rathmines to relocate.Quote:

Just been told Barnsley games are off. Be interesting to see when they reschedule games for but hopefully not today as that would be way too short notice.
Surely they couldn't reschedule games that fast, plus who at NNSWF would be working today to do all of the notifying.
Also someone said there was prior booking at speers point today. I'd say you will be seeing games each night this week at speers point
On Thu hosting clubs were given til Fri morning to notify if they wanted their fixtures moved.
With the possibility of a decently ran club being able to make $1000 for the day, i see the reluctance to give it up, with only Westlakes doing so.
Having said that, with the rainfall and predicted forecast, the authorities should have stepped in and taken the decision away and scheduled the games for Speers Point.
Any move now away from the same kick off day/time is just not on. People have lives away from football.
Schedule them midweek at the multi million dollar complex. That's what it's there for right, to service the local football community....
Good on Westlakes for taking the initiative on this one.
Are any games on today apart from speers point?
It didn't matter not all games would have been able to be played as they already had rep games scheduled for today and tomorrow. That's why they didn't just move all games there.Quote:

The rain last night filled the creek up that the drain run into, therefore no drainage this morning!
100% Didn't expect creek to rise that high otherwise it would have be good to go the new drainage system is really good.Quote:

Watching yesterday as a netrual was interesting, from the theatrics when the Azzurri Captain went down seemingly breaking his leg in half, only to come back on the field minutes later, turning down the stretcher in the process to the 'Ultra' on the far hill who did not let up the good natured cheering all game. Coaches exchanging words at full time, a sublime goal from 35 yards out, almost injury time goal from Azzurri GK, this game did have it all. Azzurri wanted it more in the last 10 and almost jagged 2 goals, but Westlakes were the better team and with their usual 2 strikers would have been 5-0 at the half. But that's Cup football, the dream of the Azzurri is over for another year.Quote:

Yeah mate, absolutely spot on about the theatrics from the Skipper that did his ACL and attempted to play on. What a scumbagQuote:

Did he? Ah that's terrible, couldn't tell from the stands to be honest, you wouldn't normally see wouldn't see a bloke continue playing on like he did. He and #28 were a class above yesterday.Quote:

The last 10 were a bit shaky from us and you guys didn't stop coming, but we really should have buried the game in the 10 leading to half time. Fair play though, it was a tight encounter and you guys should look forward to a strong season ahead. All the best
Pasadena on?
Don't think any grounds were open today ?
called offQuote:

No counting I actually have the team sheets as most lost count. First 10 mins Charlestown took it to Cardiff. But as the goals started going in some of the Charlestown players looked like they gave upQuote:
