So the Mens Budget has to be 26k because I know that’s what the womens budget was and I honestly do think it’s time to give it up on the WNPL front the womens first grade we’re given little to no gear to use for training and they got the balls from the mens side for training which were torn and ripped up from a years use already
I feel sorry for the poor coach stepping in with a club that’s only interested on a bowling club and a mens team making the NPL
#FatKeeper you crack me up - you have about a poof-teenth of on-topic knowledge, and make up the rest as you go - because you have an axe to grind.
As part of the old coaching group at NLFC you would know that decision around balls was made between the two head coaches. Both squads had new balls - but the coach at the time said he wanted to take the seconds - why? You should ask him. Clubs instruction was clear.
Also, either you have no idea as to how a clubs finances work or you skipped a few math classes. The cost of getting a first grade player on the park is made up of two parts - rego and game/win payments.who do you think pays rego champ - the Rego Fairies?
Do the sums, a player budget is made of - 14 players at $1200 ($16,800) plus the cost of win /player payments. And seeing you are so knowledgeable about the workings of our club you will know that is closer to $40,000. Well by my maths anyway - but I am sure you something else to dredge up to counter common sense and the truth.
#Red - need to ask Council - the ground we had was pulled because a league club believed they were about go into a major growth period and they were the long standing tenant. This left a bunch of junior teams and the ZL boys either on Alder with WPL and League One. The only alternatives were Taro and Sandgate - which was then taken up by Azzuri. And not sure if any of your clubs would want that traffic on your own grounds.
NL was a big loser in the Council Strategic Sports Plan - with 1500 members, to have ground opportunities taken away was a mystery.
The TAFE ground was all we could find within close proximity - wasnÂ’t our preference - but council provided no real alternative. It was a horrible situation that followed and contributed to juniors reducing by 300 this year as well. Cannot play without available fields.
But hey, sounds like a few of you have a few rocks to throw - you must have ideas on how we can navigate through the issues - all ears if you want to PM me or even take a seat at the table on committee.

Just a dad who watched his daughter get flogged all year last year and now doesn’t have a club to play for and can’t get team mates because the ones that left are messaging girls not to go there because it’s a “toxic” environment and a bad club to play for
All I’m saying from behind the fence wasn’t looking good at all just feels like a cash grab for the mens side never seen a committee member once at the games but when I went to the boys game full committee hanging out having beers watching the men home and away
Yep - the “toxic” you speak of have been asked to leave and are no longer part of our club. Part of the clean out and refocus away from mercenaries.
Again showing little knowledge of the Club and who is on the committee. If you knew this, you would realise who is where on what weekend. A club exists of more than a committee.
Anyhow, enjoy the view ‘from behind the fence’ for a while longer.
Barry the truth will set you free brother, the lies and propaganda need to cease. FatKeeper is on the money. I spoke directly to someone that was subject to one of your earlier posts on this forum and their side of things really painted the club (Committee) in a very poor light and contrary to your continuing spin.
Time to get your house in order instead of constantly blaming others for the clear shortcomings of New Lambton FC Committee. The constant theme is that its always someone else's fault.
Unfortunately NL seems destined for another very poor season in First Grade and the very real possibility that they will not be part of the competition long term.
If you can't tell the truth you are better off abstaining from this forum as you are not doing yourself any favours.
Best of Luck.
A toxic culture in women’s football in Newcastle, seriously has been like this from the start of the WPL when a group of women caused no end of mayhem and demands at multiple clubs they shopped around at year on year now some of those clubs are back in the game amazing what incentives from the governing body does. As the say goes Money talks.
Wow, A group of men lecturing on women's sport, how original and patriarchal of you.
If men weren't in charge of women's anything for I don't know how long like a millennium before women were actually allowed input into their own lives; maybe it wouldn't have taken needing to rely on "money from men" to be successful in sport.
Women's sport is behind BECAUSE of you, women are spending decades trying to catch up from the position YOUR GENDER put us all in.
I've seen some posts on this forum but this sexist rant has to just about take the cake. If you don't like it stick to your own subject matter - like your mums basement.

Just as a side note to this innane comment, how many clubs in NSW / Newcastle do you think are putting their hands up for all that money allocated to women's football grants, now the women's World Cup is here. If you think all those "male" dominated clubs haven't seen that pool of money and have their hands out then you are delusional. Nothing wrong with women's football when there's some money in it for ya, I bet.
Love this response KITZ. Every word true, and that "mum's basement" line at the end. BIG LOL!!!
I really hope we can keep this group civil and keep any of the "men's game propping up the women's" rubbish out of here. It has no place at, and if you think it does re-read Kitz's post and consider history.

Wow is right - this is all very enlightening.
But - did everyone miss WB charging a JDL player $2000?
Regardless of all this sideline drivel - this cannot be left out in the open can it?
For me, there is no way to justify that amount. It also will have to be approved by NNSW, will be interesting to see what happens.
NNSW have put a rule in place which restricts what rego fees can cover. For example it cannot include a back pack or other un-necessary clothing, facility upgrade fees etc.The only possible way to justify that amount is if your coaches are really well paid, or you train at speers point all the time...
$2000 to play U9’s at Warners Bay!! Surely that’s not correct ?
Does it increase with age ?
Are those rules just for JDL? in NPL the boys have always got a tracksuit for winter and a bag, sometimes a drink bottle. I don't mind paying for it when they train so much it does help a heap to keep things organised.
I've never paid $2k for rego tho - Yet. I actually wouldn't mind if they did it as a break down - here's the minimum you can pay and what you will get (training strip / game strip, training time games etc mandatory) and then let parents tick boxes for whatever else gear they'd like - Even season entry to senior games if its not already a given.
I don't mind paying if I can see the value and that's the part I think clubs need to break down - if they don't explain where the money goes it becomes more questionable. I think lots of people understand clubs are run by volunteers and don't mind paying money to help out - If they can see the value add for it.
Money in it for those clubs because they have spent years establishing the infrastructure and providing/developing grounds so they can accommodate to a standard acceptable for such a tournament. Local women's teams are benefiting from all of this as well, but I'll let you decide if it was primarily from piggybacking off the efforts of men's clubs, or from hard earned efforts on their own to create those infrastructures.
Happy to support women's game, but if demands and expectations aren't being met, nothing to stop them setting up all the administration etc. and going it alone.
