Although Raymond Terrace is no longer in ZPL, but just for the information: The club pulled out all together from 2020 season. This includes miniroos all the way to all age, and ZL2.

Do you know what were the reasons behind pulling miniroos out? It's only a 14 week season for the kids and most clubs are still making plans to go ahead with the season.Quote:

There isnt even a locked in start date or finish so unsure how many rounds there even is. NSW health have not even agreed to NnSW footballs return to football plan.
Alot of clubs would struggle to get help to make sure they meet requirements which would leave them facing liability if someone was to get sick.
How many clubs share fields with cricket?. The planned season ends mid October which is pretty close to cricket season I think
In addition I heard you are guaranteed same grade next year as you will not be punished if you don't play which is turning some clubs. . If we do play there will also be no promotion/relegation.Quote:

That's the other thing and the cricket associations have been telling councils they will not budge and start later or have shorter seasons. Not sure why council can't tell them to **** off and cricket get more sway than a sport that has more participants and users of their fields (so pay more).Quote:

That’s correct according to the guidelines regarding the Covid Duty Officer plus having club the appropriate measures applied. All these regulations are a massive impost on Community/Grassroots clubs.Quote:

Does it have to be the same person at every person at every match though? Can't be one person on Friday night, one person on Saturday and another on Sunday? Can it be one person Saturday mornings and then another take over in the afternoons?Quote:

Not many clubs will have the luxury of multiple people volunteering for the job, but I think its the only way to make it work.
A
correct Alan, WHS laws which are some of the stringent in the land, allow you to have multiple officers to police what needs to be done, seems like people are reading to much into it.Quote:

What’s unclear though is NNSW’s guidance in terms of implementation
“Just do what you can” and “you don’t really have to implement the guidelines - they’re just guidance” isn’t the right message - why have the Guidelines at all - let clubs work it out.
The mis-information is coming from NNSW - who’s motivation is seemingly getting everyone back on the pitch so they can collect your money.
It’s pretty ordinary they are trying to charge full price for clubs and players for half a compQuote:

The main thing hurting clubs is/will be sponsorship money not coming in or being reduced.
Has anybody heard any more rumours of clubs pulling out or just Dudley so far?
My contact at Warner's bay confirmed they officially pulled out todayQuote:

Agreed. I think clubs would of made the decision on original info eg. No canteens, full fees etc. now a few teams have pulled out the goalposts have moved. Very confusing for committees trying to decide.Quote:

Training is kicking off tonight Tuesday 8th 630pm Cardiff Oval No2.
PM me for more details or call 0427254548
cheers folks.
Is there any legit news on who is in who is out? Is there going to be a ball kicked this year?
Are we arguing about guidelines or actual Public Health order? Because from what I understand only one has legal ramifications.
Clubs were supposed to notify by last friday, was discussed in the zone meeting last week. The only 2 I've heard of are WB and Dudley. But the other cut off date initially given was 12/6 so not sure if they are actually going with that rather than what the group suggested. 6 probably the minimum?Quote:

8 game comp for 3rds
Bloody expensive season😂😂😂
So is ZPL down to 2 grades?Quote:

Such a shame Azzuri won't get to face teams at full strength. At least teams have an excuse for when we romp it in.
#avoidthedrop
All these byes is getting ridiculous. Why didn't they just put teams with 3 grades in ZPL for this year only.
Sure that would mean Kotara South would be in ZL1 but for one year who really cares. Surely it's not that complicated.
They could have shuffled the decks to make up divisions. Hit all age teams to fill the gaps and if there is a bye, put it in zl2. Or chase up one of the clubs that pulled out to reconsider??
or they could just go down the path of least resistance and effort to organise. The above solution is bloody laughable.Quote:
