oh yeah. I forgot the audience here are mainly lowbrow union slackers.
Ill leave the intelligent business acumen at the door next time. Time to block some roads because theres no AC in the crib hut
We need more than 18 games in this comp. Do 27
I've heard Singleton want home field advantage to give them the best chance of making play-offs and despite rain forecast tomorrow and Saturday at Singleton Northern are going to let them do it despite Northern's desire to ensure all games are played this weekend. If I was at Thornton I'd be asking to host at home as well to give them a better chance of beating Wallsend.
Disgrace if true
Surely with all the work Northern put in to map out the 2 division they aren?t going to throw that out the window. It will actually be an exciting day at the complex
Ok, if it gets called off Southy get 3 forfeited pts for stupidity.
Surely this isn?t happening, Northern make one of their smartest decisions in decades then this, nah sorry Singo see you at headquarters
Seems they may have back tracked ? You have NPL clubs advertising matches at their own ground
To be fair, Singo or whoever should have first right to play the game at home.
But NNSWRFF is there as a backup and games will go ahead regardless of weather, one way or another.
Roles reversed, perhaps Southy would be pissed if they had a home game to save their season moved to a neutral venue.
I’m assuming this rain will make most grounds unplayable anyway.
The weather is the whole issue not who SHOULD play at home. Northern are trying to ensure games get played.
BTW you should play anyone anywhere if you think youre good enough. Tired of these infant excuses
No, Brem is correct here. Singo should have the first right to play at home if they are able to. As should anyone regardless of 5 mins or 60 mins drive.
If (& maybe when) the weather is an issue the neutral ground at LMFF should be the option as a back-up.
Not sure what's infant here with this?
Hey, I don’t really care, if I have any horse in this race it’s Southy and I’d be a little hurt to see them relegated.
Having time set aside at LMRFF is a great initiative to ensure all games are played.
I’m just saying, I think all home teams should have the right to host their games if they want to and their ground is playable. It’s the home and away season, but it’s like a finals game for most of these teams and it could definitely add/enhance the quality of these games.
When I played, I loved playing on good pitches, and agree in those instances usually better football wins.
I understand the weather is the issue, even if clubs are forced to make a decision on ground playability earlier than usual. As I said, I think in most instances the choice would be taken away with the rain we have had and will get. There would be nothing worse than having a game called off mid way through due to unsafe playing conditions.
No infant excuses, just offering an opinion, without name calling.
I think the Wallsend will get the job done against Thornton. That will put extra pressure on Southy to make sure they beat Singo. A very exciting round 18.
I see they advertised all games shown live on YouTube. Guessing they aren?t sending a camera to Singo. The federation may of actually stumbled on a really good idea the neutral will hang and watch a game or 2 and the buzz will be high around the complex. Singo might just have to get on board
All other clubs should be pissed that they haven't been given the opportunity to see if they can play at home. I'm sure West Wallsend and Thornton would rather host.
Northern made the call made it fair for all clubs and now because one club doesn't want that and have told Northern, they get what they want?
And if the forecasted downfall happens 45mins before kick off? The game won't be able to be played, mid-week game would be coming through.
Aim is to get all games played this weekend for finals, this isn't round 3 where you can play later.
That some clubs get right to host and others aren't afforded it, puts the integrity of the competition in doubt.
Thornton would like to host the game and be afforded the opportunity to host to give them the best chance of winning.
I mean I did say ALL home clubs.
And how does “integrity” work when clubs are losing home games? You can argue Thornton and Singleton have possible promotion riding on the game.(again, not affiliated with any club that benefits from having a home game)
It’s a bit of a non event. And as I said originally, it’s a great idea and initiative from Northern to ensure games get on.
I’m just saying clubs should be able to say “our ground is fine, we will play at home and forfeit if it’s washed out”. If a club wants to take that risk, power to them.
All clubs have lost a home game (last week was all at Speers Point too). To then allow one club the first call to host but not others is why.
West Wallsend for finals as well.You can argue Thornton and Singleton have possible promotion riding on the game.(again, not affiliated with any club that benefits from having a home game)
If they said you have to forfeit if the game gets washed out is one thing, but Northern aren't going to say that.I?m just saying clubs should be able to say ?our ground is fine, we will play at home and forfeit if it?s washed out?. If a club wants to take that risk, power to them.
I will watch. Not going to Singo though
