2024 Zone League 1

[Lofty]

We also had games Tuesday scheduled to play, but the rain was just too much throughout the day. Ground was then booked for Wednesday night.

The forecast is looking better though. It does seem that clubs are now doing their bit by offering to swap the hosting rights (Cardiff now hosting Olympic and Uni prepared to host WB according to socials).
I would assume that clubs with catch up games to play have them scheduled all of the next weeks.
Hopefully a good run of weather will get teams close to being up to date.

When Newcastle City and Lake Macquarie Councils close virtually all grounds city wide, how are you suggesting games are to be played?

Newcastle only close during the week, up to the hirers to decide if they want to play on the weekend, however, if the ground is too damaged the council will charge them the cost of repairs.

Lake Macquarie grounds are decided by the Oval Boards of each field, the Ovals Boards are usually made up of people from the club using the field. If only one club plays at a ground and it is closed, then that club has decided not to play that week.

Yep and Newcastle still sending emails to clubs about getting infringement notices for damages.

Any grounds in doubt or games being moved. I imagine Hexham and Islington are the 2 in most danger of another washout

[Toaf]

Islington games already been moved to Evans park

Swamp games also moved to Speeds Point

Easy done when club people work at Northern but it?s booked out for anyone else trying.

It’s the turf pitch. I guess if they didn’t organise something they would have gotten hammered for that too.

I know what pitch it is.
Grounds available to some depending on who you are.

If Azzurri didn?t play they would be 6 behind. Maybe seen as a priority
