With gear costing roughly $250 depending on supplier etc. How do clubs justify the possible extra $200-$400 more they might be charging. For a lot of families it would be near double if not triple coming from interfistrict clubs.

    My son played 13 C- Grade this year and is thinking about trialling for NewFM 15s in 2018, but if the cost is anything like I've heard one club charging ($650) We will be having a long think about value for money for whatever club he trials at.
    I would assume it will be above $500.. A few A grade Interdistrict clubs are charging $450-$500

    Will be good to see the passion back in the club, something that has been lacking of late with results etc


    with the rego fees etc, im not too sure on this, would expect most to be around 600 within the senior set ups these days,majority of clubs will allow payment plans to accommodate those who need financial assistance.

    Not council workers, contractors from Sydney. They are also doing Waratah and some other grounds before Christmas.

    The TAFE field that Simba uses is being done at the moment as well.

    Saw that the on Tuesday.
    Still won't help cockheads from circuses driving trucks over it in the wet.
    Pray that is never allowed to happen again, on ANY local football field.

    New Lambton Football Club is paying for all work carried out on Alder Park. The majority of the park is being drained and irrigated, and the old cricket pitch is being removed. Topdressing and re-seeding will follow.
    Fencing will also be installed to the perimeter of the pitch and seating is to be installed, as required for the NewFM competition.

    Note the 3 light posts in line with the little shed (disregard that shorter post to left). Are they going to move that middle post which is recently new?

    No. The field position is moving further north and being rotated to fit mostly inside the athletics track, and this will also provide the best lighting.

    Any late news out there?

    Have seen a few clubs posting about preseason etc, when can we expect trial games to start against clubs... have mates as coaches at a few clubs who could be interested

    Jesmond FC has been promoted from ZL1 to ZPL after a strong 2016 season.

    We have access to Heaton Park and portable posts, no lines until after cricket finishes though. If any coaches out there would like a kick in February, 3 grades potentially of a Sunday then let me know, midweek over 2 nights a possibility too. Want two trials prior to FFA Cup weekend of Feb 25/26.

    We would do our best to ensure a competitive, clean fixture but you would have to be ok with posts, no formal lines. Even better, happy to travel to a club wishing to host us.

    For those that aren't active members on here to send a message, phone number is 0412 449 333.
