    Im positive the new Lord Mayor campaigned on not putting the basketball stadium there and that the fields would remain in use for soccer/cricket/school.Wonder if that will change anything.

    Newcastle Basketball doesn't care, they have lodged their development application through to the state government.

    Why does Newcastle football back this?

    Is there a trade off for them? Development for x amount of other fields?

    He has realised he doesn't actually have the numbers in council.

    The old guard is still running the place.

    Good luck getting anything done while some scores are being settled, there's some really petty individuals with their noses out of joint after this last election.

    Good times.

    Makes sense. The Red cancer still lingers. Not saying that any party has helped Newy in the last 50 yrs. State govt is the worst.

    Back to youth news. Heard a few players who had spots have been told they no longer have positions at several clubs due to "over-recruitment"

    Its a bit like real estate, you havent secured the property until you sign a contract. Always keep several irons in the fire peeps.

    It's more like jets and mariners released players after clubs offered 16 spots and collected deposits, so clubs scramble the excuses to kick a player out to make way for the jet.

    Correct & movements into the city from out of area which causes a chain reaction. Clubs look more to winning than about your kid.
    Nature of the beast. Just a heads up for parents who are entering the football environment.

    Some, but not all, reputation eventually catches up with you and as other clubs raise their programs they will be wondering why kids avoid them like the plague.

    There's one club in one particular age group I would tell everyone to avoid. They don't care and if you look hard enough you can see they churn almost an entire team in that age group every year.

    Yes, I try and teach people to have a sense of humour and to not take kids football so ****ing seriously.

    Looks like another failed attempt though.

    My resolve remains.



    cheers,

    See, you’d think this. Doesn’t seem to happen though.

    Every year the same clubs get mentioned for axing players, stealing other clubs player, replacing entire teams and dropping kids the moment a better player becomes available. Yet, parents and kids still want to play for these clubs and cry foul when it happens to them.


    Not all clubs.
    But some definitely have a reputation and some still have the reputation from 10-15+ years ago.

    Do the rules allow us to name clubs? I know of one club that just told 2 of their grand final winning side that they no longer have a spot, but it wasn't from Jets the players came in from, they took them from a Div 1 team.

    Its a bit like real estate, you havent secured the property until you sign a contract. Always keep several irons in the fire peeps.
    And even then, this particular club required deposits for spots paid before season end to secure their spot. Seems it isn't secure at all

    Why wouldn?t you be able to name a club? It?s just individuals you can?t name apparently but that?s only when it suits admin.

    No point. Most have done it. Some more than others over the time. You just have to remember it isn't against any laws just keep your eyes open.

    It's secure for the club not the player. Majority hold their convictions. Some coaches cut more than others.
    Its probably worse when Jets have their favourite parents greasing the coaches. That should be best of the best end of. Some good kids missing out but hey, there's no guarantees when you sign up. Just keep enjoying your footy where ever you are.
