So, IF you win the the first leg away and the 2nd leg is at your home ground and it is too wet to play you probably wouldn't be looking very hard for another ground? Or does the association take care of ground change?Originally Posted by leftrightout
Jesmond will be working VERY hard to be playing this weekend I'd imagine.
And, I hope they've brewed some more for the keg.
Correct. See this is why I'll never coach. Players would be running around not knowing wtf to do!
Yeh mate. Heading up to Bero. I heard their coach is shithouse.
I'll tell Neal you said that!! 😜
King park still available
Will handle the wet weather forecasted
Rain is certainly on its way now. Would like to think host clubs in all comps have contigencys in place to ensure their games get on this weekend
I drove past Warners Bay this morning and they had cricket covers over the side of the field near the creek.
I believe they have GFs there this weekend.
Just to keep people posted re Sunday - the contingency if Jesmond Park is no good is King Park, Raymond Terrace, which holds water a lot better. Thanks to those involved for being accommodating.
Being proactive would be our preference rather than whatever the alternative is, which may be to try and rush games midweek or whatever.
In addition to keeping hierarchy informed we will try and keep updates on here too.
Surely you can find a better ground then Raymond terrace. Just saying
Just out of curiosity, how much does NNSW charge you to hire one of their all-weather grounds at Speers Point for a washout game (I assume they hire it out?)?
OK
What would your suggestion be?
I believe it's something like $160/hour. But you'd think they'd try and help out the local associations?!?
Seems logical to move games there in event of bad weather, surely they will make enough money from food in their shitty cafeteria to make up for it.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
A few years ago we couldn't play on the main field at Terrace so I think we were forced to play on King Park 3.
From what I can remember the pitch itself was one of the best pitches I've played on.
The distance is a pretty shitty factor but at the end of the day I'd prefer to get the match played anywhere rather than not at all....
How's the Athletics field looking for tomorrow?
you talk as if nnsw care about zone league clubs. The same northern that doesn't seem to care that half of the zone league teams in semis will miss out on the npl grand final.
With the electricity bill that was so well budgeted for at Football Five5, i don't think any team will ever get a discount/help in regards to that facility, hey. Just like how they're concerned about numbers that aren't showing up for 5aside but keep jacking up/not lowering prices to play it.
OK
Btw in my opinion the absolute ultimate field during bad weather is the sand field at Stockton. Rarely if ever gets rained out.
OK
We decided as it's the last game of the year we wouldn't call it off, it would be up to the refs. Should be fine unless it flogs down. What we've had so far shouldn't trouble it greatly
+1. It's a rough ground to slide tackle. Played a washout there as a 14 year old and was very excited to be playing in the rain, tried a slide tackle, bad bad bad bad idea.
