We f***ing begged NF to support our proposal in the email even though it would have seen us play matches on 16/08, 20/08, 21/08, 24/08, 27/08, and 28/08. We were happy to take on this hectic schedule in order to ensure that games were played and the finals series would be unaffected. We stated that we didn’t want to be at the mercy of more inclement weather. However NF didn’t support us in this.
Westlakes refused to play on 21/08 despite them having no game that weekend and despite being given plenty of notice, due to “not being able to field teams on a Sunday” and they were backed by NF and Macquarie. We proposed another date to which Westlakes refused and then NF plus Macquarie made us chose a date proposed by Westlakes.
If NF had supported our initial proposal we would have had all our games completed by last Sunday, however they didn’t, and here we are. But please don’t blame us for everything when you have absolutely zero clue regarding what has been going on behind the scenes.
