My only question in regards to the GF is how are the gate/canteen takings treated. IMO apart from $ to cover the costs to Atown on the day no profit should be sent their way. Assuming gate takings may go to northern also? Canteen profits should A. be given as prize money to promotion winner OR gf winner. B. spread evenly between the 2 final contenders or C. spread evenly between all teams in the competition.
As I said though I don't know how it actually is that's just my opinion.
We've had this discussion in the NPL/NBN thread for years.
The general response there: Best facility so they should be rewarded.

However, in reality, I think gate takings go to NNSW.
And canteen profits would go to Adamstown, since they are the ones catering. Suggestions were made that each club offers volunteers and split the spoils.


I think it is beneficial that these games be played at a top class venue. I remember the first time I played at Lakes as a junior and i was in Awe of the whole experience. I think players would have the same appreciation playing at one of these grounds.

However the issue of $$ is a big one. I agree, it doesn't seem fair for a NPL club to take advantage of NEWFM Grand Final day.

In my opinion. Host it at a good venue. Host club is compensated and profits capped. Extra profits shared among grand finalists or clubs who help on the day.
