Sun was out today and was windy. As long as it does not rain between now and tomorrow surely they will be alright?

Clearly we need more synthetic pitches.

Grange is smashed due to Hockey!!!! the main pitch is cabernet in one area, other than that it sees no traffic all week.

I don't think they're concerned about playing on wet pitches, just concerned at rocking up at a venue to be told it's unplayable.

I drove past twice today. There didn't look like training tonight and earlier in the day I had noticed a lot of your fencing had blown over.

Bosa games look to be right on track.
The English approach to ideas is not to kill them, but to let them die of neglect.

Theres a difference between a wet pitch and a pitch that is unsafe to play on. No one is against playing in the rain or on a wet pitch.

Double header at Uni (Prems) on Sat. Pitches holding up OK. This day or two of sun will help.

Anyone interested, Reserves play Macedonia from 12:30, First Team play Ghan from 2:45.

Both games at Adelaide Parklands, Park 10, eastern end of McKinnon Pde. Google maps search for Warnpangga - Park 10 for exact location. BBQ will be cranking for the first team.
Because everyone needs one.

Restrictions usually don't start until an hour or two before the game. Then you still have 2 hours. Considering the footy starts 7ish, you'll be fine. Just double check the event boards as you drive in.
