The main issue is the day, Friday night isn't good for anybody. I'm sure the crowd would be much better on a Saturday, which in turn would be better for the host club.

Personally, I don't mind that it's in the Valley, Top 2 teams are from up that way. I would have asked if Bellbird wanted to host it, we played there last weekend. Pitch would be as good as any in Zone League, it also helps out financially a Zone League club. Bellbird have always put on a good match day.

For mine, Sunday is Zone league 1 grand final day. Both ZL2 and ZL3 could easily be played at different venues on the Saturday. Just scatter First grade kickoff times.
Zl3 First grade kickoff at 1
Zl2 First grade kickoff at 4.30
