    Interesting idea, wonder why?
    Playing matches on same day could increase crowds and make sense. Not sure playing separate days at a neutral venue would do much to increase the status of games.
    Is it a “treat” to play on these grounds for the various clubs I wonder?
    Clubs would be throwing money away I believe not playing at home

    Yeah agreed.
    Making assumptions here, I’m sure some here are more in the know, but I assume they aren’t getting canteen sales, no or split admissions, maybe not a big deal for home supporters given its cooks hill and new lambton as home teams. So clubs lose out $$. NNSWF lose out money (hope it’s not clubs footing the bills).

    Just not sure what they are trying to achieve here other than branding it as a “double header” because they got a good deal to hire the ground for the whole weekend.

    Play some juniors in the morning, encourage their attendance to stay, get the Jets there in some Capacity, make a festival day about it, introduce some novelty to proceedings.

    Not being 100% neggy for the sake of it, but can anybody see any positives about this?

    My guess is it's just ground access - Cooks Hill and New Lambton both play at shared grounds, and summer season doesn't end until 31 March.

    Cooks Hill dont have a pitch in the middle? not sure about Alder Park, good pick up, but cant see that being a concern.

    Shared with athletics perhaps rather than cricket?

    We're almost certain to have our irrigation going in on Athfield in the New Year - hence the 'home' game Rnd 1 over the road, BYE, 3 away games then back at Athfield on May Day.
    Makes a change for the 8 outta 1st 10 rounds at home 2018, 6 straight at home last year and 6 outta 9 at home (inc BYE) this season gone.

    We have a good relationship with Athletics (NAFMI) on usage and maintenance levels and always try to work with, rather than against each other.
