Sorry 'cheese, was a question rather than a statement. My assumption is they *have* solved it.Originally Posted by Goatscheese
My guess is that they are using the more modern synthetic which doesn't cause the same issues. I seriously didn't see any grazes on legs - so it must not be a problem anymore.
It is wonderful to see the work being undertaken at Valo’s CB. A lot of activity there.
Should be finished soon?
Field relocation after seasons end. Hopefully everything finished by the start of next season

Noticed new lighting has been installed at Harold Knight Oval (ex Charlestown Hotspurs home ground). Also read on the LMCC website that a new sports complex is being built on the site https://www.lakemac.com.au/Projects/...Sports-Complex
Does anyone know which sport/clubs will be utilising the new facilities?
That is a facility that Kahibah FC have been waiting a long time to be developed.
Lighting is something that has improved quite a bit in Newy. Synthetic pitches a disgrace.
Another year, more rain and more ground closures. The same suspects, Hexham park, marks oval, Evans park and Gregory park.
What's the top 5 worst grounds for wet weather in the area?
Evans Park No2, no drainage at all, No1 played Saturday.
No2 is the worst in the area.
Macquarie Field would have to be worst in my opinion. Rarely get on no matter how minimal rain has been.
BUMP. Olympic, Adamstown and Cooks Hill premier pitches looking in bad shape. Cue council, drainage overused.
Maybe the grounds have a bug 🐛 you being a chook maybe you can help them out?
have they turned into rhombus or parallelogram?
Sir, this is not Reddit.
If it was, take my upvote.
Harold Knight etc is progressing nicely. Fences up and pathways done, even dugouts built. Going to be a fantastic facility (if a little overdue in construction)
There?ll be more then one club using this his,
Another wet season
So many grounds not up to scratch - no investment from councils - Northern and Associations happy to take everyone?s fees and rego money but gutless to push councils or invest their own money.
LMRFF only reserved for top competitions and the rest have no chance.
The cycle continues.
Magic vs Maitland postponed tonight for the second time
Weather cycles in the last few years have changed and has caught everyone off guard. To get the amount of fields required up to scratch with good drainage will take alot of money and time. Councils only have money in their budgets to do drainage to a few grounds per year.
The solution is more artificial facilities. The facility at Speers Point is good, but the area needs more then 2 synthetic pitches.
There needs to be a facility that is open to everyone to hire.
