    As for your point about Lakes have more inside parking. The reason they have this is they have nothing there other than a termite riddled grandstand in need of demolition. Lakes have been a joke of a club for the last 20 years other than the occasional year they have bought a team. The rest of the time they have been bottom end getting shit crowds and having shitty junior side. Also we don't need cars in the ground at the GF we need spectators. Magics capacity is more than big enough with no cars on site.

    The gripes on here about Central Coast Phoenix are justified but Lakes seem to escape the wrath for their shortcomings. (Probably cause no one cares enough to hate them)

    As for your points about the other clubs

    Azzurri - Too small no parking for 3-5k
    Southy - Not in a 2 sided chicken coop
    Olympic- Unless you let the crowds out on the other field where is 4k gonna fit in there??400 people there and it appears packed
    Weston have done **** all to their facility in 20 years. The reason you feel it has a Sunday arvo feel about it is Kurri is stuck in a time warp period
    Edgy- Have some stands for seating but they also have a 3 sided ground. WTF??
    Valo - You have too be ****ing kidding me. There ground is that shit they shouldn't be playing in the comp
    Westy - What facilities are there??
    Adamstown Another ground stuck in a time warp with piss poor management with the junior base and history they have that they can't get and stay in NBN level

    End of day the GF is at the best venue if it is at Wanderers. Also when you walk into Wanderers Oval you actually field you are at a football ground

    The rest of the clubs and their supporters should spend less time on here bitching about it here and go fix their clubs and grounds up so they can have decent facilities. As I have said before most of these grounds have barely changed in the last 20 years other than getting more wood rot from the termites

    what they make is benifet for the work they put in the facility throughout the years.
    Now edgy have it how many whinges will there be next about them..

    And please dont come back with a comment like, its because they host all these granfinals thats
    why they have the best faciltys,
    mate they had a good setup way before hosting the grandfinals.

    and yes i played for edgy when EDGY held the grandfinals years ago and also when magic hosted the first couple of grandfinals.
    as a player on big days like that i have to take my hat off to magic , they are blessed with the facilty,location,catering ground management etc. the best by FAR
    +1.

    This is laughable, nnswf have changed the fixture to Thursday 25 because the jets coaching staff are on holidays, good on nnswf for supporting local football, absolute disgrace

    This is a joke. NNSW need to have a good look at themselves.

    Also are the Jets youth apart of this points system that will be coming in? Surely with the amount of player turn over they will struggling to keep fielding a team within the points system.

    Of course it doesnt. I think there should be a coup league started on its own. Get away from Northern all together. They do nothing for the league anyways.

    Of course they don't, but ask HCCF and the other rebel leagues how easy it is to survive away from FFA and their umbrella organisations.

    Imagine if Lambton were to go rogue (not that they would), but I doubt NNSWF would allow the Juniors to still participate in the Interdistrict competitions and SSF. So there goes approx 18 competition teams alone from Lambton alone (u/12s up). So at an average of 15 teams from each club bar Jets, you're looking at approx 120 leagueless teams. Sure, the A-graders will be fine with most A grades from each age group going rogue, but how about the kids in the 13/F? They wouldn't want to get their arse kicked each week, so they would leave the club for a NNSWF club where they can play to their standard. This would mean less money for each club to develop their juniors, resulting in a lesser competition.

    Plus where would they get their referees from? I doubt many referees would join an organisation where they are at their highest rank already, when if they stay in NNSWF, they may some day be appointed to higher games (A-League etc).

    So you aren't just talking about moving the NBN teams out of NNSWF, you're talking about moving their Junior clubs too, and trying to organise those matches as well. Who would do that? From what I've seen, most NBN teams just care about themselves, no thought is given to the juniors. Plus I doubt NNSWF would look kindly on any club that did do such a thing.

    I really hope you weren't being seriously.

    Can assure you Lakes aren't in financial troubles, players were simply told to perform or they wouldn't be getting paid is what iv'e heard. Thus the recent improvement in results this must be true.

    some games scheduled midweek have been called out already, surely there hasn't been that much rain, Charlestown have even canceled games for thursday, crazy, it could be sunny for the next 2 days, clubs need to start playing otherwise who knows what could happen, no point having a prestine pitch if you don't play on it, c'mon, get the footy going

    How is it illegal? No player in the comp is on a contract.
