The issue is that some clubs (im sure you know which ones) would look to utilise this as loop holes and not play games if it was to thier advantage. My personal oppinion is that its just an over complicated season, you dont see the premier league and Championship swap leagues halfway through the season. happy for people to not agree, just my oppinion.
If your a parent and pay several thousands of dollars thinking you are getting X amount of games now they reduce it by 10 games do you get a partial refund?
Northern needed to get a set of balls and kick off all training at the facility 2-3 weeks ago and start scheduling games. Don?t wait for clubs to pick dates cause they all have a motive and becomes drawn out. The Federation should say X is playing Y at this date and time and if you don?t like it you can forfeit. That way the comp keeps moving.
Also how many days break do u/13 need between games I?d say if they play Monday they can go again Wednesday
Just play midweek and weekends when this slop passes over. We can fit the games in with a tiny bit of organisational common sense.
Yes i offered to help the peanuts being overpaid in the office. no, the NNSW morons didnt want free assistance.

I personally like the 2 phase system but yes the weather hasnt given anyone a chance in the past 2 years.People will complain that making the promotion/relegation based on a 2 or even 4 leg phase isnt a true indication either.Which ever way we look at it there isnt a perfect system and Im happy for them to keep this plan in place until they get a few years of sample data.I think everyone agrees though the end of phase 1 is the real problem,NNSW just needs to have an end date and a plan in place and get on with the 2nd half of the season.
Strongly agree.
Lack of referees and the 3 travelling clubs make this virtually impossible on short notice.
What if councils stopped being so precious about playing fields?
The only reason a game gets cancelled should be when the field is unplayable.
In Newcastle, a 5 minute shower is enough to cancel training sessions and games.
Go anywhere in Europe, football fields where junior teams play have very little grass on them sometimes: playing is the priority, grass will grow back.
Exactly. those weeks when fields were a bit "iffy" they couldve played, then when the real sh*t goes down it doesnt matter as much.
And you are probably the same person when little Johnny gets injured because of the state of the pitch you go complain to council 🤷*♂️
Hmm, can you elaborate please?
Where do you get that assumption? Why would I "probably" be that person?
And why the patronizing tone?
Little Johnny, really?
We're just having a discussion here.

Except playing early in the season when they are a bit iffy wrecks the grounds, takes out grass and means that it takes longer to recover later on in the season when we do get downpours meaning more games are missed than otherwise.
Are there any games scheduled for this weekend. You would think Northern would be driving this and rescheduling a whole round to this weekend
Yes there are, quick look on Squadi will show which games are scheduled.
heaps of washout games every night this week
Um, when there's downpours there's no games on so fields will still recover and have less catchups in short succession.
There's a few on here who do this infantile stuff.
Heard Northern have now said get all games in over next two weeks but not all will be able to be played so they are using PPG to determine Phase 2.
Northern are now doing what they should've done the first time and we still could've got 14 games in for Phase 2 and unless one team loses all their games and the other wins all theirs there is no change to the make up of the 3 leagues.
Would like to know why Northern decided to finish Phase 1 and not just follow their own competition rules, which clubs were complaining to them about it?
Phase 2 will be one round only.Teams will play each other once.
Northern should refund part of the clubs rego fees then. Less games played due to phase 2 reduction means less money they have to pay to council for ground hire and less payments for referees.
Will this happen or do they justify it by saying they had to use that money to pay for catch up games at Lake Mac synthetic.
