I don't have a problem with Magic Park for GF's - it is the best venue to handle big crowds from a spectators point of view.
Weston is also a good viewing ground for the WPL (although a long way to travel!)
But please, Edgeworth for the NewFM GF???
Ground is sh1t.
Parking is sh1t.
Canteen is sh1t.
Viewing is sh1t (unless of course your in the NNSWF VIP box).
So all the clubs that are applying for NPL next season from newfm don't have a ground good enough to host a grand final, laughable, just another stitch up by nnswf to keep Millsy happy
Weren't they supposed to host the newfm grand final last year and pulled the pin on hosting it days before and Lakes ended up hosting it. Yet they award it to Millsy again. UnbelievableOriginally Posted by ForeverRed
Correct
Thought it was moved to Weston after some rain if I remember right???
Correct
Last year Edgeworth field was not up to scratch so NNSW Football pulled the NewFM GF the week before.
They then gave it to Lakes to play at Macquarie Field until they realised the GF clashed with road closures at Speers Point for some running festival.
Then it was moved to Weston.
Why isn't it being played at a newfm ground ?
because money is sucked out of NewFm not into it.
Lyall peacock > jack McLaughlin ...get off your arses NNSW and go look at toronto, good facilities, training out back, griund fine, car parking etc etc and they a newfm team NOT in the semis .... What a joke
I would be quite content if they were all played at Magic Park
NPL Zone New FM the lot
Being the Jets NYL W League pre season fixtures are already there. Edgy used it for the FFA Cup
Maximising the use of this facility could see government handouts flow to be able to turn it into something better than it already is
Rather that than spreading games across the region where the hosts are just using the windfall to balance the books with their player payments.
If Northern had planned their white elephant better they could have played all Grand Finals at the one venue but instead they built two fields with no viewing and no room for expansion.
The reason NNSWFF allocate the games to the NPL clubs is they are supposed to be the best facilities in the region and are allocated this way. That is why Magic is for the premier grade, Edgeworth for NewFM and Weston for WPL as that is their ranking of competitions.
Ceetainly not a decision made on the quality of the playing surface, as Weston's is shite at the moment!
Notice in my post it said "supposed" to be
Amen
OK
What makes you think the White Elephant is finished and what gives you the impression that it has no room for expansion?

Unless they are going to take over Lake Macquarie's ground they cannot move that way. There is a carpark near a grass field and unless they are going to buy Speers Point Park where are they going to get the land. The site is restrictive and should have had a bit of forethought to obtain Lake Macquarie's home ground and develop it into the stadium it should be.
The only way they can expand is to go up and that is the same as what they have done. Pie in the Sky planning.
or they can get rid of a few of the playing fields and have a main one a a couple of other instead of the large number they have now. Or they could develop the first field as you drive in.
Why would NNSWF develop their own boutique stadium? It wouldnt compute in their business plan. Most likely expansion at LMRFF would be some type of executive plus dorm style accommodation with some type of retail or commercial space. Could turn it into a true international standard academy, throw in a basement lap pool, gym, recovery centre. NNSWF would be smarter to diversify their income streams so that the facilty and thus football can be be more financially viable in the long run and not be totally reliant on football patronage. Its no secret that if the Emerging Jets decided to hire a council ground or Newcastle Uni, NNSWF business plan would be rooted. No club uses the synthetics (full field ones) to play even their catch up games so why would NNSWF spend member money on a facility that would host 3 major games a year? Lakes would need to find a new field because they would not be able to afford northerns rates. And no club would support Nnswf subsidising any team regardless of historic usage to use the field.
I would support a NNSWF executive centre. 50+ twinshare rooms 50-70 bucks a night per person per night... not bad coinage, do the math. Football is a business, the more you can diversify to minimise risk the better. Nothing would make me happier than a CHS rugby league carnival being hosted around the Lake and they have booked every room out, money in the true football's pockets!
