    Looks bad for New Lambton but they had only been back training for a week while Adamstown never really stopped

    Didn’t stop and was doing 4 nights a week at one stage at least. One of the girls in the team I was involved with last year played her last game for us on a Saturday then went straight into training on the Sunday with them. No off season at all.

    Hope the TD knows what he is doing, going to burn out the players

    Charlestown take over Merewether as of next season. Wonder how long until Warner’s Bay are taken over. New Lambton will need to get their men’s team into the top grade soon to keep their program I’d say to keep in line with what is required to go to NPLW

    Add Adamstown to that, not aligned with an NPL club which seems to be NNSW's goal.

    Yes very true I keep forgetting that but I guess if/when they align they still stay the same and won’t change grounds and such.

    Merewether have been a vital reason why the NPLW has become so big, interesting to see what they think about it all? Surely the players don't mind the facilities, at the end of the day if it was a major problem then they wouldn't be playing there.

    Key personal are going over it and yes the only founder club left (We can't count Magic since they gave it up). But it isn't if the players like the facilities or not, Northern don't like them and wants to make it a WNPL and so they need to be playing at grounds that are NPL standard. It's the exact same reason why South Wallsend, Wallsend and Thornton have moved to NPL clubs.


    Warners Bay will be next, and New Lambton are wanting to keep the teams which is why they are trying to make Arthur Edden or Sportsground number 2 the ground the WPL plays out of. Adamstown already playing out of Adamstown number 1 so are safe.

    I think it is playing at NPL facilities not aligned with a NPL club.

    I thought Merewether had a big plan to do up their ground? Has something changed? Eibar is a town of 27,000 in Spain, they have a stadium of 8,000 and they play in LaLiga. Their stadium is dwarfed by all in LaLiga
    Surely Merewether should be able to continue in NPLW if they wish to?
    Over the next few years council, NNSW and the club could start improving facilities.

    Yes Newcastle Council has a plan to upgrade the ground, don't believe the upgrades still met the facilities required (such as a media box, changerooms that can fit 30 people etc.). In fact IIRC Merewether had tried to lobby the council for more and were seeking public support.

    While I may agree with you, NNSWF and FA don't see it that way, they have their own idea and that's what it is. NNSWF needs to ensure all their WPL teams reach the standard set by FA so that they can promote a WNPL in the federation and participate in the WNPL similar to how the NPL runs across all federations.

    Surely Merewether should be able to continue in NPLW if they wish to?
    Would appear not according to Northern. It's why New Lambton are trying to get on Sportsground #2 so they don't have to give up theirs and since Adamstown Juniors already play at an NPL ground they don't have to worry.

    But the end result of not allowing clubs to try and develop the facilities is ultimately we end up with the NPL and WPL becoming one and the same and there won’t be a chance of promotion/relegation from the comp (men’s or women’s), which is ironic given the number of NPL teams that want access to the A-league.

    I do see it as a kick in the guts to the clubs that worked their arses off to make the WPL, but northern will never get or understand that. The clubs benefiting now have not given a toss about women’s football until now when they see a dollar to be made.

    It's a disgraceful call, No Loyalty at all to Merewether. Why should the footballing public show any loyalty to these amateurs that are destroying our local game.

    Oh I agree and we have clubs like New Lambton that have the funds and want to upgrade being stopped by Council.

    And Northern isn't giving any leeway to other clubs to even been given promotion or relegation between NPL and NewFM because of this critieria bs whereby if a ground doesn't have a media box they don't get in.

    I do see it as a kick in the guts to the clubs that worked their arses off to make the WPL, but northern will never get or understand that. The clubs benefiting now have not given a toss about women’s football until now when they see a dollar to be made.
    Well indeed, Magic used to have a WPL side but they treated them poorly and got rid of them yet now they have one again.

    Are you going with them?


    Also I never understood why you called yourself Llamas when it is the Merewether Eagles.
