2020 NEW FM Northern League 1 thread

[Onyatoes]

Old news they were intending on using it for NL1 senior games but nothing happening this year.

NL have been designated 4 games at Edden in 2020. From May. It would have been more but the ground is closed until end April whilst Council fix a bug and Jaffas will play elsewhere until then. I saw the NL President after The Matilda's game. No mergers but their plan is big investment in Edden with Jaffas and Council and Northern and Alder will be their Youth and training venue whilst hosting their other Senior games and WPL in 2020. 2021 full time for Men and WPL and the switch will be flicked on NPL. He said Edden is their original home from when they won 1st Div in 74 and 75. New Lambton is going home........a ground is the only gap this club had.

Can’t see Jaffa’s being very happy about sharing their ground with NL - not one bit. NNSW must be changing their position on Clubs and grounds.
The Edden facilities are looking very tired and in need of some upgrade though. Not a lot of noticeable development there in recent times?
