Central League Thread

yeah i saw that. i lol'd

Just had Wai United get together over a few beers and a bar b.  All players back for the coming season including Cowan.  Also nabbed George B form Olympic.  He must of been impressed with the facilities at the last game against Wai U!!  New home of Wairarapa United Central League Football.  Confirmed.

Should be an interesting season then.

tbh, It'll be interesting to see how Tawa cope without Withers, he is a very effective player not to mention a geriatric goal scoring freak lol

Tawa potentially the new United?

couldn't agree more as seen in the past nil all draws get you nowhere - finding striker could be key

where is yournew ground? on the old dog track at Solway?

Nah. Hullena Park. Actually the new old. Has been based there before.

what's been happening at Hullena in the last six or so years and why are they going back there?

... but with more cattle

Nothing has happened.  But obviously the Masterton Council aren't doing stuff all to promote Football in the region.  Heaps of s**t talked but no results.  Sports Bowl being turned into running track and conflicts with cricket.  Oval conflicts with cricket.  It's takes a small club with a big heart  to promote  it.  Ok there is going to be kickbacks for the Masterton Club.  Only Club in Wairarapa that privately owns its own ground and maintains it.  As a club, we would like to see the best level of football played at the best ground in the Wairarapa. A lot of hard work by Volunteers to secure this for the region.

Huleena is a good ground, but Wairarapa has had  more home grounds than  the number of jugs drank at the Kuripuni on a Saturday afternoon. A bit of stability could be a good thing, but I will give you the tip , don't have a couple of jugs at the Puni and go up in the grandstand at Huleena, you will get that sideways feeling.

If you can get away with only having 4 jugs at the tav on a saturday arvo, u are doing alright.  Home grounds have been Howard Booth (Carterton), Queen Elizabeth Park Oval (Masterton), Colin Pugh Sports Bowl (Masterton) and now Hullena Park.  Good to get back to where Wairarapa United started.  'HELL-ENA' can be a bit of a cruel ground to be at if you are the opposition/officials. Had some good results there at end of last year and some good crowds.

the Tav. home of the $3 absinth shot.

Hullena Park is placed between a College nearly closed, a cementry and a dump. All very appropriate as the ground is a hopeless dying dump. Bring back Wellington United.

My favourite part of Hullena Park is the gas-chamber style doors on the changing rooms. Cast iron affairs that could probably survive Armageddon.

is hullena pk the one on the road out to the coast just outside masterton? was excellent the one time we played there - long time ago though.

out next to Makoura College. actually quite a nice ground. holds up pretty well because usually only has two games max on it a weekend. much nicer ground than most that I have played on in Welly, especially in the depths of winter.

Steelo - As far as im aware most of the 1st team games are on saturdays.  If they were on sundays and you still played for the 2nds, you could definately be the reserve CL keeper. 

right, any other gossip, transfers etc that isnt a ground transfer?

George B to Rapa? Surely not...

Had know idea you were the coach and can make the selections this early. Second team got relegated did it not?

yes they did. how is he making selections?

Taki Yukiomi to Wairarapa ex Youngheart Manawatu. Have heard all players from last season have now signed up again plus Gearge B. Will be an interesting season.

Bloody computer can not spell, should be George B. Have also heard Wairarapa to shortly annouce the signing of another high profile player.

Who else is there?  Where on feild does Taki play?

Midfield or striker. All I know is that the other player is from overseas.

i heard pedro garcias was close on deciding to go to stop out $$$!! another disgruntled hutt player, sick of the jockstrap in charge there he already had heaps of players to stop out last yearbecause of his ways??
with ginger blackburn gone and a few other losses i think they will be mid table at best?
is patterson returning again he is the key there. petone number 1 hutt club now

Now? Always have been!

As a keeper I'm always interested to see who is where.

Wairarapa , Gillespie again I heard.

Lower Hutt AFC, McPeake I would think.
