2015 Zone Premier League thread

[Phoenix12]

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.

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.
Could be a few catch ups backed up!

Swansea is one of the better grounds actually....it's built on sand ?...hence the grass type is always a bit average, plenty of cover but not the nice grass variety that some other grounds have......But the drainage is quite good.

I checked Suburbs today.

We called off tonights games and the juniors tomorrow. Depending on tomorrows weather it should be good for Sundays games but we will check it again tomorrow afternoon.
