It won't be the two pitches thing (yet).  We've had weeks this year where the Pace and Masters have both gobe to Fraser becuse Naenae is full.

Yeah and all our artificial midweek games being away means it isn't for us. 

They have been slightly better in posting the draw for them in advance. 2 out of 4 times they were a couple of weeks I'm advance. 

This week however it was 5 days in advance so I have to try get out of work. This has happened one other time also. 

I hope people don't take this as me having a whinge! It's just constructive feedback, and generating discussion about how it's going with other grades.

Div 11 has had at least 3 game weeks on the turf, although itsbusually split in half, 4 teamns play midweek on the turf the other four play on saturday. The major inconvienience for me is that both our games have been on a monday - which is the night we play indoor, causing erscheduling of those games to a Sunday! The impact of tyhese midweek games has been huge. I'm happy playing on the turf and the novelty of polaying a night game is fine, but not playing on a saturday sucks - and when it clashes with all the other football related things it hurts even more.

I think the general consensus (even looking way back in this thread) is that one or two is fine,as you say it even has good novelty value. But some teams have had between 3 and 5 which is a bit too much.

With Wgtn united and olympic who share Newtown park, you would want to be on the turfs compared with thier secondary fields. Marist and Tawa are in the same boat with thier secondary fields.

Or in the case of Marist, even their primary field.

Negative, a paddock suits their style (first team).

Yep we weren't good enough. Three goals on the break and camping in your half, kinda Kilbirnie Park style football.
