2013 NBN State League Thread

Fair enough. If that is your view good luck to you. Personally I do not have a problem of having a one off event played out of a better venue, for the fans that turn up to such an event. I do not know the capacity of Darling STreet, but I dare say it would not be the 5K that no2 holds.

Realistic number of supporters who would attend the day would not be even close to 5k. Over the entire day you would be lucky to have 500 to 1,000 people come and go through the gates and lucky to have 300 stay for 1st grade.

Maybe not, the only advantage of having it at a venue such as no 2 would be for spectator compfort and better off field facilties, compared with Darling street.

OK officially De-Champ is smoking more than gum leaves...

Insinuating that No.2 holds 5k makes me laugh, like really hard on the floor, rolling around. Are we seriously thinking that 5k people will turn up? Better move it to Hunter Stadium!

Thank you Zico. You probably have exaggerated your figures to be honest.

The only advantage to having the festival of football at No.2 is spectator comfort and off field facilities. Ok so now we have a reason why we should take the game there. Once again plenty of seating at Darling Street and im sure that Olympic could build a descent toilet block if they put their minds to it. And what about promoting all those Union sponsors around the ground? Real good move i say...

Bottom line is i do not give too shits on what clubs spend on faciltys or which clubs pay or ncc pay.
My problem is LEARN from how shit football is to watch from shared facilitys with different codes.

I do not know waht youa re on about. The 5K figure is from the union people themselves. I never said that 5K would turn up, read my post again, where does it say 5K will turn up.
By the way the way Rosebuds did not receive 45K, you cant' seem to add up, if they did and it wa split three ways the Tinkler lunch would have had to make a profit of $135,000, which is inpossible. wow at 300 or so people who turned up, after taking out freebies etc, but we won't count them, that is $450 per ticket. Even if 600 turned up wow that is $225 per ticket. It seems you are the one with zero credibility.

Start talking this Shite in the NEWFM thread, Last time i checked Adamstown were not in NBN.
By the way NO2 = SHIT FOOTBALL

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

There is no way possible Adamstown has spent $60k on the pitch at Adamstown Oval. There is no way at all. You are telling porkies again. You have no credibility as far as i am concerned. Prove me wrong!

Ground drainage was only done a couple years back and was fully funded once again by NCC. I mean you could top soil and fertilise the ground for 60k but only if you were prepared to fill the ground with enough soil to have it bursting over the fence.

And you are right the about the Grandstand and exactly the point i was making. Everything at that ground was funded by NCC. Where is the contribution from Adamstown to "their" facility. While every other State League team invests hard earned cash to their facility, Adamstowns facility gets NCC gold ribbon funding. It is fairly obvious that they are well connected and rewarded. They even got funding for the murals painted around the facility while some venues roofs rust away like that at Olympics dressing sheds. What Adamstown have not done is contribute to the facility primarily because it is always fully funded by NCC, or by themselves to themselves via the old Adamstown Oval Grounds Committee.

And for the record i was told by one of the Adamstown committee members that the Tinkler lunch was indeed split a number of ways and that you guys did receive $45k. So the Magician is correct on this one.

Like i have confirmed i HAVE A MASSIVE ISSUE WITH OLYMPIC USING NO.2 ("the home of Union"). Shall i say it again just to have you write back that i have an issue with it? I have only stated it thirty times that i have an issue with it. But i have an Answer for you. Why doesnt Olympic have their Festival of Football at ADAMSTOWN OVAL? Wow, a win win situation...

Why dont you answer at least a couple of the questions being put to you instead of regurgitating more dribble without fact or basis.

Here is a couple you can start with:
1. How will a festival of football be good for the code?
2. How exactly did Adamstown spend 60k on their facility/pitch?

I'm not exactly sure of the full amount that Adamstown have spent on Adamstown Oval, however as our club ground shares with them at that facility and I do know they have undertaken a great deal of work there, particularly their training ground out the back. In terms of the pitch itself (and surrounds), in the last couple of years our club (New Lambton Eagles) have spent around $2500 on the lights and also provided concreting and financial support for the new 'beer shed' (which we went halves with Adamstown in). I would assume with these endeavours that Adamstown have matched our financial input, and am aware that they have spent a lot more on the element of the facilities designed for their sole use.

This ^^....or maybe start a No.2 thread where you two can rant

[namwob99]

Or maybe swap phone numbers and ring each other!!

Should Adamstown be promoted, before the champagne is popped the New Lambton Eagles committee will be receiving the call to find another ground I can guarantee you that, and you (Eagles) will have zero support from NCC, it's premier competition commitment states that first division clubs have the right to exclusivity over their playing fields. I would be seeking further assurances of future use before committing to projects.


Who uses the training ground out the back?

[The Magician]

Any news or rumblings on Charity Shield? Dates? Teams/ Solo Cup or WPL before?

[EH9]

Here is a couple you can start with:
1. How will a festival of football be good for the code?

Perhaps we look at it a different way...... would it be bad for football? No. The idea of that many games on one day at a Rugby ground is silly, I will 100% agree with you on that but it wouldn't do our game any harm.

[EH9]

Charity shield will be on the Sunday before the competition starts between your club and Olympic.

The Eagles are well aware of that possibility and we meet regularly with the council to discuss the future. We have undertaken a number of actions in regards to the ground out of goodwill, and have an understanding that long term tenure isnt guaranteed.

And the training ground is used by the Rosebuds is my understanding.

[The Magician]

The Sunday before the season starts is Easter Sunday, i think its highly unlikely NNSWF would make the fixture on this day and make clubs play on a public/holy holiday.

so is your beef with using a very nice facility?

or is it you dont like "Rugby Union"? / seriously the way you guys are behaving is beyond farcical seriously... grow up... becareful what you say on here.. when discussing clubs and finances.. / get back to actually talking about the football geesh...

I have no problem with Union. I do however not like the idea that we are pushing to access a Union ground. Union is well connected and im sure NCC will quickly get some harsh words from the well connected Union people who contributed a large amount of money and in-kind services for the development of No.2. And once again a tidy venue at Darling Street, so does not make sense. Not to mention how bad the football is on a multi use field.

ANYHOW if Olympic want to use the facility, go your hardest. I can't see any positives for them, and as i have said they may find other codes knocking on NCC doors asking for access to Darling St oval. How would we all feel as a football community? I would be a gust as such a scenario... Lets not cut our nose off despite our face.

Farcical. NOT. But in the eye of the beholder. I do however enjoy the robust debate, and for like minded football supporters, forums like this will help grow our community, and maybe even help solve many of our codes issues.

Agreed we need to be careful when talking clubs and their finances, BUT for someone to get on here and say that a club spent 60k on a ground without explaining what they actually spent it on is too rich in my eyes, better off not saying it, right? At least at Edgy when they say they spent 10k* on retaining walls and 5k* on the ticket box you can see the progress. * = fictional figures for the purpose of explaining my point.

Football geesh will begin when the season starts, and this thread relates to all things football...
