seems nothing will change, but as said before "the precedent" has now been set....bring on the wet weather....
who needs the big mans phone number....
So is the Barnsley v new lambton game going to get played? Orrrrr
If you do the maths New lambton can still make the Semis in 1st grade.Quote:

I am sorry to disappoint you Premy but your sources have got it all wrong. I have not been in hiding not yet, I have simply been on a bulking diet and caught deep in training as we charge to the finals. My diet has consisted of the tears of kingfishers and hipsters, I was able to collect many over the past two weeks so be warned I shall be a force to be reckoned with come old swan day and as we carry on deep into the final series........Quote:

Just curios to see what the opinion of a NL player is about the forfeit. Are they happy to not play the game and get 3 points even though they are long shots at semis. Or would you rather play the game? Because looking at the table and who has to play who on the run home, it just looks like this spare one is going to be a wasted weekend of no football for no reason and not even any huge gain to anyone?
Just curios to know personal preference
In reply to your comment about Beresfield not get promoted. Bero were denied promotion due to a minor technicality.......There are already 2 teams in NewFm league that have Redneck/Hillbilly heritage, and there is simply not enough room in that certain competition to accommadate that many Rednecks.....Quote:

Some events that are held during the Redneck Games include:
The cigarette flip
Bobbing for pig's trotters
Seed spitting
Toilet seat throwing
Mud pit belly flop
Big-hair contest
Wet T-shirt contest
Armpit serenade
Bug zapping by spitball
Dumpster diving
Hubcap hurling
For each of the events, a trophy is awarded, a half crushed, empty mounted beer can.
Top 2 finishers get the right to play NewFm and loser is relegated to ZPL, until the next Redneck games......
If there is you won't get a comment. Think their happy with them selves that they got the easy points..Quote:

Remember those little legs are usually the one's on the BBQ or in the Canteen, who is going to keep the Old Swans hydrated at the Swan Song if all you are doing is sunning those Wings?
I am a member of the committee mate. I haven't responded previously as I didn't feel there was a great deal of point as it would only have inflamed the situation ( and may still do). I don't play for the club so I couldn't give you a player perspective, but from a committee point of view it was decided that we should officially raise our concerns related to the postponement of the fixture. It has been suggested on here that the ground was close to unplayable and our complaints about the postponement were unwarranted. If the ground was wet/ dangerous in any way then I would be inclined to agree with the majority on this site who have raised concerns about the decision making processes for washouts. The situation was however, that some of our committee inspected the Barnsley ground and this was not the case. The reality was that the pitch was dry ( to the point that the dirt areas on the pitch were dust). As I said, it was following this that our committee felt it reasonable to question why the match wasn't played.Many have stuck the boot in to our club over the past week, but you would have to ask Barnsley as to the reason the match was cancelled when this was the case.Quote:

I will also be in attendance at the Newcastle Football meeting next week if anybody wishes to have a civilised conversation in person.I may not respond on here as I think I prefer to steer clear of the negativity on this forum where possible.
LOL...exactly what I was thinking...... All the talk going on in this forum previously and the "Majestic Swan" obviously has a few issues interpreting the information.... Probably should attend University, or have a few lattes and grow a beard and trim it to perfection.Quote:

Like I said before everyone has to work on Monday our team and yours.?
I think that most people on here concerns were it wasn't only your committee members but the head of the association aswel. And that other clubs have put in complaints before and never got the result that you guys did.
Fair that you don't want to respond on here... i wouldn't expect anything formal from a club man like yourself on here, this is certainly not the place to make statements from the club.Quote:

So really, you didn't answer my question because my question wasn't really directed to you.
Also, I had no intention of having a go at anyone with my post i was just interested as i cant really recall this happening in a zone league before?
Good to see someone had the guts to get on here and post that reply. I'll agree with the fact Barnsley have a case to answer, what you haven't taken into account is the negative effect it has on every other club vying for a finals birth! It's actually disgusting that firstly Newcastle Football has allowed this to happen, and secondly you blokes actually took the time to go out to Barnsley knowing full well that you could possibly exploit the situation. Newcastle Football certainly has a case to answer! And if by some miracle occurs and New Lambton get into the Finals you can expect some massive outrage.Quote:
