Any results for New Lambton and Dudley
Weather forecast not looking good. Could the washout round be washed out?
How are everyone's fields holding up?
How does unis field go handling water haha
Anyone know what Conolly Park is like. Cardiff are there on Sun. Never played there.
The rumour is strong the NL Eagles are finally set to merge with their junior base. This club of 50 is about to become a club of 1150 with the backing of a committee that took the juniors from a small local club to the biggest in NF in just 5 yrs. 3 parks, cash, sponsors,
corporate connections, football people, big plans for expansion. Plans with Council already, the sleeping giant of Newcastle is about to wake.
They have a way to go yet....(Alder park needs to be re turfed and drainage added...cant do that without moving the athletics track, which means negotiations with Athletics and approvals from all parties.... Extra lights to go in as well.....)
However, I truly hope they become a powerhouse... In my opinion they were absolutely raped, shafted, belittled etc by NCC, Newcastle Football and Adamstown R'Buds..... when they lost the Adamstown Oval spot.
I don't play for the Eagles anymore, (but did so for 10 years), and I really hope that it all comes together for Pauly McGuiness, Jordo, the club committee and the players...they deserve it !
It goes well enough ! Unfortunately, being a university, its not the soccer club that always makes the decision on playing....(Like the vast majority of council grounds). The grounds at Uni are often utilised for other clubs like the Jets / Knights / Cricket / Union etc...and if you tear them up it puts everyone out, and the soccer club gets a bad wrap.
Who's gunna be cooking in the kitchen this weekend ?
Pheonix12 the word I got was the merge would mean the Eagles move to Novocastrian. The facilities there are up for major improvements and a quality no1 oval.
Other than that I agree with you on the rest as I am an ex Eagle and know the work the boys put in and how they got shafted.
Hitchy is a legend.
They need to work on the drainage at Novo if that's the case, been called off a lot this year.
I was chatting with Paul a couple of weeks ago and he was talking about upgrades to Alder Park...but maybe with the (impending / possible ?) merger comes a new direction... Alder park would need a lot of work, and to get approvals past the athletics people I reckon would be very tough ! And as Thomas477 added...Novo whilst being a better immediate fit, would require some work as well. Either way i hope it works for them.
The source I got this from is connected to the juniors and they have some heavy hitters in the club. The Athletics club has co members of both and I think the football club wants to work with them. It would be a one sided battle if they dont with their 300 members v 1100. Novo is set for drainage work after sprinklers were installed last year. Yes Alder needs work but the juniors are cashed up and there is also mention of a group of local club business identies making a play for the lease on the bowling club which is going broke. On the park they have the ZPL who are always competitive and that new ZL3 team made up of juniors and AA players that is going well in their 1st year. My cousin has a son in their development teams and they dominate 10s and 11s Newcastle rep and Emerging Jets squads apparently. I am with you, I hope they all get it up and going.

Cardiff were happy to get our game out of the way on Tues night and should be ok for Sun v Dudley as there ground is usually great for wet weather.
