I'd suggest the need for ground preservation is just about gone. The council shutting everything down is the other major problem.
The council in Lake mac do not shut down grounds, they leave it up the clubs, Newy council do the blanket shut downs.

Its not always about ground preservation, i think safety plays a big part in all of this also, if you have never had to call games off before its just not that simple.

We have 3 catch ups and each time games were called the thoughts were:
1: to wet with puddles = 40/60 it could dry out hopefully, depends on future forecast.
2: rip the ground up 50/50 wont be good later on, but that's life sometimes, give it a roll.
3: slippery surface = this is the hardest one, seen to many broken and twisted parts over the years due to this one.
