    That's ridiculous. Obviously won't be in any state for our clash on the 24th. Hope some alternative can be arranged as I'm looking forward to the Simba he crowd festival atmosphere.

    Pretty disappointing not having dressing sheds especially not being able to shower after playing in conditions like the weekend

    Ahh right, wasn't aware it was TAFE owned.

    Still pretty disappointing to be told this is your home ground, then have something like this happen to it.

    You'd think common sense would shine through here, but clearly they have thick skulls.

    Conditions and ground where not the best for football and neither was the passing from tenambit. First goal was a pen given away by me for a moment thought I'd be saying good luck to my back up keeper but got away with a yellow.
    RAAF had alot of the ball but I only had two saves and a few smothers in the first half I can remember.
    Second half was different. Raaf Started getting a few more shots off forcing me into a good save which I then followed up by dropping the corner to the opposition striker who slotted for a two nil lead. They were good without being great. And we couldn't keep the ball long enough to build enough pressure.
    Yeah it was disappointing they did the best they could for us with what they had. Did get jealous when they set up a gazebo for there bench and we were left to sit in the rain.

    Lydon Oval, Dudley only has 3 teams playing on it every 2nd week. Just sayin. Simba may have a better chance of playing there for their homes games then we did.

    Yeah it was. The TAFE is yet to seriously think of the field as a sporting ground.

    All grounds and facilities need to be looked at and reviewed. This being for junior and senior clubs.

    Obviously councils are the owners, thus they are responsible. Big issue as soccer/football is such a big participation sport. Councils are crying poor, so they tend to turn a blind eye.

    Warners bay sheds are a disgrace, no fault to warners bay. LMCC should have done work there a decade ago. They probably would say they have spent money on lights and ground.

    As for the RAAF, they need to provide more for visiting teams. It appeared there was a home shed. Maybe they could get some money from government to build a shed. Afterall, the government are spending billions on the new 58 strike fighters, many of which will be based at williamtown.

    RAAF based sports teams generally always struggle touch with facilities compared to previous decades as the bases see these as non core recreational facilities nowdays. Few bases any longer have defence based sports sides because so few people live "on base" any longer, they actually tend to encourage members to become part of their local community as opposed to having base heavy sides. It is a pity the team could not have approached or been invited to use Medowie's facilities with them being so close.

    I do know LMCC have a system to Schedule all their parks which I am assuming also plays a part in capital works planning etc but the biggest factor is planning. Clubs becoming proactive and meeting Councils and getting upgrades on their upcoming works lists because as long as someone is they have no need to go looking for ground amenities to upgrade because they already have lists 5 years long.

    They would have to go somewhere else for night games. The lighting at the ground didn't look as tho it would be any good if needed to be used.
