NNSWF dock what points they have,
piss taking the competition now
After a few weeks of back to back games during the week is it no surprise that all of a sudden another game is called off to give the players a break
High time the useless clowns at Northern stepped in and forced some better standards in the pitches.
Absolute joke that after no rain yesterday and bright sunshine today they can't get on
Is Jaffas on?
First grade onQuote:

Glad everyone slept through it, but flooding rain fell around 1 to 2 this morning.
Given its 25 degrees, a little windy and dry, surely windy hill would have been playable today. Old fellas must be really tired
Magic 1 Kale
Jaffas 1 Griff
JC rose from the dead
What a day
Scored.....rose from the dead and left the building...:rof:Quote:

From what i have heard its the incompetent maitland council that installed a new path around the fenceline and a new carpark in the offseason. The drains were blocked up because of these works and now when it rains it backs up onto the ground.Quote:

And no I'm not apart of Maitland I too was rather disappointed the game got called off but being from around here and knowing the rain we have had could understand.
36 hours of no rain and the pitch should be draining adequately to get a game on
No excuses.
36hrs?? Where is that number plucked from?Quote:

But keep telling your story's they are a good read.
Funny how every other ground in Northern is apparently playable with the exception of Thornton again.How many games have been played at Cook Square Swamp this year?Even Southy had games on yesterday until their money in the power meter ran out.Quote:

Maybe there was more rain in the Maitland area then the Newcastle area? But I wouldn't know what the rain has been like in that area. All i can say is all the local grounds in the Maitland area have been closed more days then they have been opened this week.Quote:
