Inflation will see to that. 10k isnt all that impressive anymore. Soon we'll need 10k teams just to stay in ZL1.Quote:

Who handles finals pressure the best?
Croatia have spent that on one playerQuote:

The end.
It's got nothing to do with the player payments - fair play to buy the comp. I think everyone is jealous of the women's program, the youth development, the stuff they've done with the ground, community links, lower grade strength and so on.Quote:

So third year lucky with the letter to Council with inflated player numbers?Quote:

Lol you must wake up in the morning and try to think up any negative spin just to try and bring Croatia down. For the record the Conference team is currently in 6th and still well in contention for the Finals. Croatia's Ressies have been Runner Up Grand Finalists, Premiers and GF Winners in the previous 3 seasons, been a challenging year this year and looking like missing Finals for the first time but when they are called upon to step up to 1st grade they always do the job for the Coach and the team. With 1st grade currently leading by 6 points...isn't that the priority?Quote:

Whether or not people like Newcastle Croatia as a football team, that can't take away that they are the most consistent team in the league. Their consistency and winning mentality put them where they are currently. Hats off to all involved from committee to coaches and players. Time for the rest to focus on their business model to improve, in whatever format they would like to persue (pay rego, pay players, free pizzas or whatever).
Whoa steady up stop sign. I was just making an observation that there seems to be quite a disparity in regards of quality between Croatias first team down to the next grade. Moreso than the average club. Based off how dominant your first grade are I would expect the other grades to not only to be playing finals football but pushing for the major titles in their competitions as well.Quote:

Our Ressies have been competitive in most games and if we had won a few more of those tight games (we lost 5 by a solitary goal) instead of losing them we would be in contention for the Finals too just like our Conference team are.Quote:

NCC has big plans for Waratah park as well so Hamilton Hawks may get moved there and Croatia will return to their home but that’s likely 3 years away. The Meyer park news will likely be broken at seasons endQuote:

It’s a shame for the suns who did a lot of the heavy lifting and turned that park into something special, but the reality is Croatia are heading to the New fm league and need a stadium. It is nnsw fault for setting such unrealistic expectations on clubs, council will give them this outcome as a slap to the face in order to queue northern to make changes to field requirements...trust me council do not like pressure to upgrade small parks in tight turn around windows <1 year.
Suns will not be sharing a ground with CroatiaQuote:
