You don't need artificial pitches, a foot of topsoil will fix most if not all of the problems. Pelican oval flooded all the time, not any more. This was done years ago by a bunch of fathers of players

Some Synthetic would be a good help.

Granted it's been one of the worst years for storms in living memory, but plastic grass is an environmental danger. The microplastics in the runoff all end up in the lake, and eventually in the food system. I think they may eventually be banned anyway
lol
Council looking for ideas for the new Creek Road development precinct.
Of course it would be a prime spot for a well run Wallsend club to play in some new fantastic facilities but of course we all won't band together so I look forward to all the new rugby, AFL, hockey and pickleball courts that are about to get built.
Exactly right
NAWA had a field on Creek rd back in the late 90s. Bill Pots field. It was 120m long and 90m wide. It even had a concrete cricket pitch. Football in winter cricket in summer. Fun fact one of those cricket teams turned into Cooks Hill United FC
It was mid 90s
Fking NAWA. The worst name in football history. Decent bunch of lads in there though. Newcastle & Wallsend Asoc??
If clubs weren?t greedy facilities could be improved by shared agreements.
Just change your name and move associations and you can get given a ground just like crabs did.
The ground was previously booked by Hamilton azzurri so they had the inside knowledge on its availability, hardly special treatment.
It is when multiple other clubs have to go through the application process by council.
Every club is supposed to with Newcastle Council. Unless the rules are bent like in this case.
Would be interested to hear what's the big story here scoop?
There isn't one
A new ground is being built on Raymond Terrace Rd at Chisholm.
No scoop just facts. Crabs have been told they will be at Jesmond.
How do the Crabs get a ground so easily but Croatia have seemingly struggled. I would of thought they were the front of the line before Crabs
i dont know but would Croatia want Heaton park. its pretty dodge.
