Anyone got any updates on the GF after Plovergate.
I know it’s moved to Macquarie Field but I heard rumours that the game was locked out or something similar as in full.
Then the new 1 in 2 rule came in so thought it would’ve changed.
Some very entertaining and close games today in all of the GF’s. Plenty of goals to keep everyone happy.
Anyone heard of the plan for the U/13’s next year. Is it going to be a hub day or are they going to be played on the same day as the rest of the teams and every other game will be pushed back. So 1st grade would be a 5pm kick off or something like that?
What was the deal with this?
And since when was the grand final ticketed to be purchased beforehand? And why?I know it’s moved to Macquarie Field but I heard rumours that the game was locked out or something similar as in full.
Then the new 1 in 2 rule came in so thought it would’ve changed.
Plovers were nesting and attacking players on field, had to change venue.
Covid restrictions on number of spectators same as every other sport in 2020.
[QUOTE=Goatscheese;242296]Fair enough but I haven't seen tickets required for prepurchase before hand at these other sports at a similar level.[/QUOTE)
Had to prebuy tickets for Newcastle Rugby League Grand Finals at Maitland last weekend.
It was indeed.
In 14's Merewether had their first win over FMNC for the season, FMNC have won the previous 3 GF in 14's I believe, always a great team.
Olympic gave Merewether a scare in 17's, two late goals to Merewether made it look better than it was.
I missed the Res game, but surprised Olympic lost, they have been the best team all year. However the core of that team have been the best 17's team for the last two years and have failed to win a GF.
1st grade - both teams had periods of dominance, and either "could" have won, but Olympic got the job done.
Given everything that has happened this year, a really good outcome for Women's football.
Current plan is to have all 5 games on the same day in 2021
Just speaking to my niece who plays in the Football Queensland WNPL U15's.
They've just found out in their wisdom in the lead up to the Womens World Cup next year the have made their age groups U14's, U16's and the next one is U23's. How many girls are they going to lose after U16's - it's no wonder AFL is kicking on with their girls numbers.
