    So whilst it has been strongly advised for a number of weeks now that Hunter residents do not visit Sydney the Jets team’s have been continually travelling down there to play matches?
    I am sure there may be protocols in place but would have thought that it would be a time for a rethink. Anyone have any insights into what the current situation is?

    No different to the Mariners who also play in Sydney. Rethink to what? It’s too late for them to do anything else but try and struggle through an already disrupted season as best they can, as is everyone else.

    Are you serious.
    Rethink playing in SYDNEY and pull out of the competition for the rest of 2020.

    Don’t think there’s much difference playing in Sydney, than playing in Newcastle, to going to a shopping centre.
    You’re only as safe as the people that you are around.
    I get screened everyday I go to work. I could easily lie about any symptoms if I wanted to. But they trust me to answer honestly. Same as you trust that people that may be symptomatic will isolate and get tested, or not play sports.

    I’m assuming/hoping there’s been a release and lots of memos passed onto people about sitting out and isolating if they are unwell.

    Are you assuming it was picked up in Sydney or do you know something nobody else does? Last thing I read was “under investigation”

    They are not sure where the kid got it and I don’t know anything.
    Just not sure it’s an acceptable risk for people to be frequenting areas that the general public has been asked/warned not to go to just for a kids game of football.
    I see an article has popped up in the Herald posing this very question and that McKinna & Co are weighing it up but community consensus seems these teams should cease travel to Sydney considering transmission rates are escalating.

    I think it’s a cop out. Shouldn’t the community be more worried about shopping centres, pubs and clubs seeing as how that is where the overwhelming majority of cases are contracted. I haven’t heard of a case being contracted at a football ground but I’ll stand corrected if you know of one.
    Anyway the statement says they aren’t playing for the next 2 weeks so hopefully things settle down by then or everyone might be cancelled

    I don’t know BS, this is what I do know.
    Hunter New England Health issued a warning on 21st July which said ‘Don’t travel to Sydney unless it’s essential’
    Kids football games are not essential.
    No one knows if there are long term effects of contracting the virus regardless of your age.
    Just reported in Herald that this kid has had 140 close contacts, so basically would say we are now ****ed and cases will be popping up everywhere.

    You are crazy if you think parents and kids travelling to Sydney to play football in and around hot spots and the Sydney teams coming up here every 2nd week is ok. This needs to stop till the cases slow down, it's just football they are and anyone else going into relatively uncontrolled areas of Sydney are putting their families health at risk let alone the whole town. Pubs, shopping centres, workplaces etc are somewhat controlled environments, 99% of football fields are run by volunteers and are at best semi controlled environments most just have token Sanitiser out etc its easy to see how they can be breeding grounds. It's just not worth it right now.

    I’m sick to death of people trying to blame kids sport. Do you note how it’s adults socialising that’s the main issue here. Not sport. Shopping centres and pubs ARE NOT controlled environments. You are deluded if you think that. The whole of NSW NPL is still playing and have been for weeks. All the NPL players that have to quarantine now are not doing so because they play football they are having to do so because they went to the pub for hours!!!!

    Adults socialising is killing the kids season of football, not the other way around.

    Completely agree, a lot of community transfer occurs through surfaces. Transmission through spectating and playing sport has been almost non existent.

    We wait to see what NNSW and EJets do with the new community sport order today , from my interpretation Coffs and Taree will no longer be able to compete in the NPL youth and Jets kids can not play in the Sydney NPL!
    Interesting few days ahead

    Yet tomorrow, anyone from Sydney could drive to those areas and have a beer with their mates in a pub or club there.
    The rules make no sense.

    Slot the Jets back into the local comp instead of North Coast or Mid Nth Coast. No points to either side but he kids play.

    The COVID-19 policies, which start Wednesday, forced NNSWF to remove North Coast and Mid Coast from the NPL youth, Mid Coast from the Women's Premier League, Northern Inland from Northern League One youth and Northern Inland and Mid Coast from SAP competitions.

    NNSWF said no matches would be played against those teams while the policy was in place. However, no decision had been made on how games played against the sides, or those missed, would be treated
