I think keeping a squad is the key to all teams (promoted or relegated)Originally Posted by Chef
It was a shame in 2011 - i think Eags held such a sway over the squad they would follow him any where.... probably different now based on the fact most of the team has been through it before. ....
Speaking of grounds how would everyone rate in order? Obviously some may not have an idea with one round to play as I've never played at rathmines before so I'll leave it out:
Nelson bay
Charlie (cricket pitch ruins it)
Stocko
Warners bay (when dry and mowed)
Cookers (mid year)
Morry (cricket pitch ruins it)
Bero
Kotara (only seen wet)
Jeso (heaton)
Nelson bay
Charlie (cricket pitch ruins it)
Morry (There is no Cricket pitch - no cricket for 3 + years on this ground - League is the real issue)
Warners bay (when dry and mowed)
Stocko - wind is the issue here
Bero
Cookers (Most uneven ground in the comp - how do they play NEWFM on this)
Kotara (only seen wet)
Jeso (heaton)
What happened to Steve Eagleton.
Is he still around the traps?
Last I heard, he was coaching a womens team, South of here..
Nelson bay
Charlie (if it had no cricket pitch)
Warners bay (high side pitch)
The following are all rubbish
Bero
Morry
Kotara
West lakes
Stocko
Cookers
Jeso
More money def needs to be pumped into improving our pitches.
From top to bottom.
Athletics field you want to play on in first half of the year. Whilst it has good grass cover the undulations aren't too bad, once that grass goes she's pretty ordinary
Must be said I also took into account the general facilities and viewing that adds to the whole day out
That is poor for mine. If they had of left before the season the team could have been regraded more suitably. can understand if 1 or 2 were offered to play in a much better league else where.
Well it'll be Ladies Day when you visit Rathmines Wilso so if you like food platters and champers you'll love our facilities.
As for grounds....
Nelson Bay superb
Cookers ( played there rd 2 ground was good and facilities superb)
Stockton wasn't there personally but heard good things.
Warner's Bay good field couldn't fit an U6 team in their sheds though.
Kotara South not bad pitch but goalposts didn't look very rectangular......
Beresfield pitch did all sorts when a ball was passed.
Morisset we played at juniors at night which was fine the other place is a footy field and a swamp!
Jesmond and Charlestown both ruined by a cricket pitch in the middle!!
as ICEBURG10 mentioned. Cookers facilities are superb. Changerooms etc are EPL standard compared to most npl clubs. GET that pitch level!
Ladies day ey iceberg.. I'm sure Rolo would love that he's more of a prowler then I am. Known womaniser 😂 can't wait
As one of only 2 guys that started and finished first grade it was a tough year....
Any results from Jesmond v Charlestown?
Those green tiles tho...
Heard jeso won in firsts but would be nice to update ressies as it's still crucial
Green tiles? Colourblind?
Lime green?
Black and blue?
White and gold?
More meant if your fellas bring their better halves they'll have a good day as well.
But I'll be sure to tell the Cougars that Rolo will be on the prowl!
Tiles on the walls in the changeroom are a canary yellow my friend..may want those eyes checked out!
it had to be bright colours otherwise would be drab against all that grey concrete.
