Club outgoings should be near wot they get in rego fees. Sponsorship should b treated as a bonus not income. If clubs be paying wages and employing staff on decent $$$ they better b having a plan B. If not they best b ripping up contracts & telling paid staff they a amateur club. Back 2 basics. Spend wot $$$ u got on youth & seniors play for glory. Simples.Quote:

The clubs focus is about making money and winning as I said some clubs treat it like a business and football sometimes gets in the way of it.Quote:

Surely with NRL now saying their comp won’t start on July 1 as hoped and all comps under that now cancelled, NPL and other comps are out for this year? If so good luck to us getting our money back.Quote:

NNSWF furlough 16 staff. Wrong again Goatscheese. Your sources are as spot on as your football IQ.Quote:

Complete cancellation?
Complete cancellation if we are being honest
Where am I wrong? The refund for money paid hasn't been authorised (based on your own statement) and at the time of my post they were demanding that clubs still pay their fees, so I was correct there as well. Northern has only recently (over the past week) told clubs that they have dropped their demands for further installments until the season goes ahead and only after the NPL clubs sent a letter through the AAFC telling them they won't and 8 of the 11 NL1 clubs following suit.Quote:

Why can't the NPL play into September October November etc to complete the season??Quote:

This is what will happen MFKS, if we are able to get the comps up and running in June or July. Npl Competition will run until November or December, with decision on whether they play finals football or first past the post.Quote:

All clubs bar Valentine have full access to their ground without ground sharing. And Valentine could do all Sunday matches.
Will all depend on when or if the government gives the all clear to play, or if the corona is still to big a risk
Even easier solution is Valo could be forced to play al of their home games at home before the cricket season starts and play away in the back end of the seasonQuote:

Spelling I can’t fault. Grammar an 8/10. Yew Yew - this is the expected standard.Quote:

Valo will have a new ground next season after council development of whole complex, it’s really going to cut out most of the content on this forum with the continual incessant whining about them.Quote:

For the Morons of the group what I said is if Community Football is played in an extended format then there will be no issues with grounds as cricket will have adjusted their start times therefore grounds won't be used by cricket therefore there will be no issues with grounds. Cricket will will move their start dates, heard it hear 1st.Quote:

Have a mate on Central Coast and they already have that in writing for their council.Quote:

How else would community football get played if the season doesn't get extended, maybe I should have dumbed it down for you. And yes cricket will move, Harker Oval have cricket over league? please. Never said our next season would start as normal may take a few years to get back to what we know as normal.Quote:

Still 18 week season and 4 weeks for finals that is a 22 weeks so if the season can start in before Mid July the season will be completed before Christmas. Yes I know Youth NPL have more teams but teams out of the Hunter region may have to be losers in this shorten season.
No Cricket 9
Magic - Magic Park, Jaffas - Arthur Edden, Olympic - Darling St, Adamstown - Adamstown Oval, Weston - Weston Park, Edgeworth - Jack McLaughlin Oval , Azzurri - Lisle Carr Oval, Lake Macquarie - Macquarie Field, Maitland - Cook Square Park
Cricket 1 (Synthetic Saturday Only - Junior Cricket Saturday Morning and C&S competition is Saturday afternoon) Football can be played Sunday
Valentine - CB Complex
Yep Npl will work. Even Npl youth should get finished. Others wont.Quote:

These late rounds can also be used as scouting for next year.
You can dumb it down as much as you like, at the end of the day I honestly think that if we get a season in, it will be the second half of the year and if this is the case NPL and NPL youth will have access to their grounds and will get a season in..Quote:

How many clubs in NL1 share with cricket? Southy, Thornton come to mind - not sure about any others?
Kahibah, Singleton, New Lambton,Quote:

Yeah I agree ForeverRed. Should boost crowd attendance you would expect if this is the caseQuote:

I could be wrong though

Any form of youth competition will allow them to keep all that rego money and lets face it, the interest in northern NPL isn’t bringing in any substantial revenue
