Newcastle Football spent $1m on an office they didn't need. An artificial pitch at Stevenson Park would have been a better investment for community football. Northern spent a couple of $m on new offices and facilities that they could have done without. Another artificial pitch for Lake Mac clubs, perhaps a better spend?. Newcastle Council spend $5m on No 1 to host one Big Bash game per year and an AFL preseason game. Representative of two sports that have participation rates in single figures. Grounds are rubbish because those in charge let it happen. Clubs do their best but volunteers can only do so much. Shame on those tasked with leading the game, they should be pursuing the best interest of football with Local Government and spending member money properly.
