Central League Clubs Training Dates

Central League Clubs Training Dates

Just wondering when the Central League clubs are all starting their pre-season trainings...
if they haven't already.


And... are Gisborne still in the league?

Gisborne are gone.

WU start next Thursday 17th at McAlistair (sp?) 6 to 8, every Tuesday and Thursday after that. Newtown 1 is our home ground again so players can take advantage not just of the best surface in Wgtn but the best facilities off the field too. 1st team coach is Ross Durant. All new and ex players welcome. Advertisement ends.

Don't disagree, I was only really thinking about the local Wellington area.

Have to agree Wgtn United have the best facilities. That Melrose Park that some of their teams use is something pretty special! That pitch should be declared a hazard zone.

Miramar, Miramar Park 6.30 Mon and Wed.

Stop Out, First trailer on the left, Hutt Caravan Park, 11pm Thur till Sunday.

Have i missed something...why?

Yup, gotta love using Melrose Park as a training ground, including the artificial cricket pitch which runs straight through the centre of it.

Still, it does beat Nairn street where we used to train...only half the lights worked and it was either a dust bowl or a sewage reservoir, depending on what part of the season.

That's it for the off the topic post

thanks Smithy

No pitch can be as bad as Karori Park (swamp) $5mill and its still a dump!

There's a whole thread on worst ground somewhere lads.  Keep it in that one...

Wharfies training Monday 21st at Kaiwaharawhara (Hutt Rd opp Placemakers). 6.15pm.

Its more like Army Camp instead of Pre season training.. That englishman has got them training hard

Maybe you should make a comeback and join in...

Good Numbers, I hear, as well!

They're talking about Stop Out.

cheers

FYI. Stop Out's training sessions will be ninety minutes only. Simple reason "cos games are only ninety minutes". They'll be having three sessions a week.

or in injury time

every team will want to get Stop Out in the Cup now - just get ten men behind the ball and play for extra time.

Can anyone advise where Stop Out will play their Central League games this year as the raceway has been re sown and it would be a miracle if it was ready in time. I can see that they have that piece of grass in front of their club, but I understand it is full of rocks as the council didn't use the correct top soil when laying this area?

The old number 1 pitch will be out effectively for the season, as we don't want to get on it too soon and ruin it.  I understand that there is another few levels of 'good' topsoil to goonto it, before they sow seed.  It will then be big enough for 2 full size pitches.

Number 2 (in front of the clubrooms) has had lots of work done on it since they cocked up with the topsoil last time (3 years ago).  Having reffed junior games on it last year, I can honestly say we didn't find many stones, even after rain.  However an extra 150mm is being put on it in the next few weeks, we believe it will be up to Central League quality for the year.

The new changing rooms are right next to the clubrooms at the top of that pitch, and I can honestly say that the only water coming in is piped, not coming through the roof like the old Dulux stand changing rooms.

Incidentally, the Council had just gone for resource consent to prior to demolition of the last stage of the redevelopment, the ugly and wrecked Dudley Cottage .  Somehow it  was torched last Tuesday, and must have saved quite a bit on demolition fees.  Stop Out's committee all have watertight alibis
