I am amazed they haven?t put another lot of synthetic pitches in the Maitland area. I would think the Tarro fields would be a good venue. Only needs to be 5 training fields and 2 full size pitches.

Yehp, I think I confused myself with trying to figure out how much LMRFF make and how it could be viable for clubs/associations to invest in their own.

I think the ability to play the fast 5s would be the biggest contributing factor to the viability of such a project.
Or the operation of a ‘summer comp’ can help cover the costs of community clubs using the facilities during the winter.

We already have a facility for the “elite”. If clubs do go ahead with artificial, I think it needs to have community clubs/teams in mind.

I’m not sure there’s a model that satisfies everyone.

Whoever funds it will want to recover their outlay and that will lead to funded clubs/teams utilising it more than community teams. But it’s a step in the right direction.
