The requirements put in place by council and federations make it really hard. Things like training restrictions,no canteen and change rooms,constant cleaning of toilets, limit on parents, the list goes on.

There isnt even a locked in start date or finish so unsure how many rounds there even is. NSW health have not even agreed to NnSW footballs return to football plan.

Alot of clubs would struggle to get help to make sure they meet requirements which would leave them facing liability if someone was to get sick.
I've heard Jesmond pulled out all their teams (I know they don't have a Zone team) because apparently they need a Covid Duty Officer to ensure social distancing and that this has to be the same person at every game on every day it can't be different people. No one was willing to give up every Friday night and the entire weekend to do it so they have pulled the plug.

Not sure if anyone can confirm if that is a requirement and if so if it has to be the same person for every game all weekend for the season?

How many clubs share fields with cricket?. The planned season ends mid October which is pretty close to cricket season I think
That's the other thing and the cricket associations have been telling councils they will not budge and start later or have shorter seasons. Not sure why council can't tell them to **** off and cricket get more sway than a sport that has more participants and users of their fields (so pay more).
