Hope he is all right.... Some of the late challenges you see in this comp that go unpunished are pretty ordinary...(Not knowing if this challenge received a sanction or not though)Quote:

Swansea Cardiff
1-3
4-2
1-1 1sts
First grade even first half.
Second half Swansea pushed hard and after Cardiff had 2 goal line clearances put away one. Cardiff lost a bloke to a very poor linesman. Ten men.
Near the end Cardiff managed to
put away a good finish.
Fair game over all.
Funny though Swansea linesman went awol with 20 to go haha.
Uni V New Lambt
1st 1-1
res 1-1
3rd 4-3
Uni much more suited to a full sized well decked pitch.
Milfield v Bero
1st 1-6
res 3-0
3rd 0-1
from SP
Mayf up 1-0 then great equaliser 1-1. Mayf missed a sitter then the flood gates opened.
It was good match out at Uni today. Both teams has their periods of dominance, so a draw is probably a fair result. new Lambton had a penalty saved though, so will probably be thinking they could have jagged the 3 points.Quote:

I stopped in quickly and saw a bit of the second half but it was just too cold to stay the whole time. I didn't see any goals but it looked really even contest. Barnsley had more possession but suburbs counter pretty quick.Quote:

I reckon Uni / Cardiff / Mayfield in some sort of order !
Bero untouchable at the moment.... but if someone can get a win over them it will be interesting to see their reaction, (especially if it happens close to the end of the season).
I have been reading alot about ground conditions and such and have decided to do a bit of digging about to see everyones general thoughts on council facilities.
I'm interested to see what everyone thinks of the grounds in this division.
Sort of like what the A-league does, is anyone interested in listing from best to worst ground in the comp?
Much appreciated guys.
Cheers
1 Uni - Obviously.Quote:

3 Mayfield - Played early in the year, not sure on condition now. Good width, flat, not too long :)
4 Barnsley - Nice and flat, good width. Not much bobble. Had sand lines from new drainage. (expected).
5 New Lambton/Swansea
6 New Lambton/Swansea
7 Suns - Cricket Pitch. (Loses point for Cricket pitch)
8 Cardiff - Cricket pitch. Good size, bobbles, not much grass.
9 Garden Suburb - No grass, bobbles.
10 Beresfield - tiny, not level, bobbles, little to no grass.
You got be kidding bero's is the best field in the comp wish I could play there every weekQuote:

2 - Dudley - Good all weather, reasonable grass, good size, but a long way to go to get to Uni's standard.
3 - Swansea - Good all weather, reasonable grass, good size.
4 - Mayfield - Good until its been wet, good grass (unless its been wet a while), and then it gets boggy / slippery.
5 - Barnsley - Not bad...not good...bobbles....
6 - Cardiff - Grass...sometimes non existent, bobbles, cricket pitch
7 - Suns - Have not played there this year but previously...diabolical.
8 - Garden Suburb - Have not played there this season but previously... see above
9 - Alder Park - it scrapes in before Beresfield because at least there's width....but the rest is not note worthy
10 - Beresfield - It surely cant get any worse.....may as well toss a coin...(and this is after having a win their this season)
I know where this will head, :argument:Quote:

Unfortunately, the grass is a summer grass and right on queue, the grass died off down the centre of the pitch just as the season started. It had no traffic in the build up to the season, so usage wasn't the issue. Its better than previous years, but not by much. Some people thought it was council cutting the grass too short that caused the die off, but its the same grass as my back yard, which died at the same time. I think we just need a change of grass but cant get onto that until we get irrigation sorted.
I can't believe Barnsley is been rated so high. Thou I'm yet to play on some of the other grounds
You should be rating grounds at season start not now as all the clubs have different work loads.
Also bare in mind that councils will pretty much always say they have lack off funds which means unless the ground is dangerous the only upgrades are from the club itself or grants.
Nnswf can sit there and say all they want about needing fields upgraded but they aren't in control of those grounds.
(Won't go into the FA funding system here)
1.Uni
2.Suburbs
Swansea
Barnsley
Dudley
3 Mayfield
4 Suns
5 Cardiff
6 Bero
New Lambton
They have a very large ground right beside their main pitch........with some leveling and maintenance it would be a crap load better than the field they play on.... Unfortunately with the club facilities / kitchen etc facing the current field its easy to see why they wouldn't change..but maybe there are other factors as well ?Quote:

I think now is a good time to rate the fields....we have had half a season or so....all fields have been played on equally (except possibly Uni who have played night games on a different field...not sure if other clubs did this ?)Quote:

As you posted...... its about the dollars (or lack there of) available. I reckon all clubs do their best, but as a Uni player, we hear the comments from club players when they come to a pitch that's in top nic..... (In saying that Uni spent all of its pre-season training on an oval that has a cricket pitch in the middle, was rarely mowed, was uneven, patchy grass, bumpy etc etc).
Really ? That's interesting...Never played out there but is it the same club ? Do they have the facilities required for ID premier league requirements ?Quote:

The main ground at Suburbs wasn't played or trained on at all in the offseason.
Our ZPL team trained and had trials on our top ground, that at the time was more akin to playing on lumpy concrete with big potholes. Lance Yorke was looking so good that we really babied it to ensure it was good for the season.
Unfortunately as everyone knows, the grass didn't last long.
Is this just a cry for everyone to tell you how good the Uni ground is? :wanker:Quote:

I don't think there is that much of a difference between the majority of grounds between ZL3 & ZPL, change rooms however are an entire different argument... I'm all for a bit of team bonding but having to get changed with another 11-14 guys in a broom closet can get a little bit, "oops i thought that was mine i was grabbing", if you get my drift?
Can we have a list of who sells the best burgers at each canteen this season? I had an absolute cracker of a chicken burger at Mayfield when we played them, and i love the ones at home too. Haven't been to Suns yet, can't wait for the after game feed.
Completely different clubs mate.Quote:

Maybe you need to read and digest what someone is saying before you post replies. I too will take the time to place a lovely little moticon...just for you :wanker:
