CCF CC CUP

[hasbeen]

Concerned and Follower are right about Pluim Park. The latest in this continuous debacle is the removal of any local comp U17 and U18 Friday night games, in the interests of 'saving Pluim for the Semis'. So we now see GOS v UMI (U17B) this Friday at Jubilee, Long Jetty, when by all rights it should be at Pluim. An even unfairer scenario now sees all Southern Peninsula teams (UMI, SEU, WOY etc ... ) having to travel to Wyong Shire grounds for virtually every game. The likes of Kanwal etc ... virtually don't play anywhere but their own ground. That's really fair. Of course the CCF trumpets the mantra of 'Gosford CC's fault' in all of this, so they can cop the easy way out instead of making Pluim more available, and the U17 and U18 comps fairer.      

To be fair did you see Pluim during last years semi finals and Finals series. It was a disgrace!!!

Come on .. disgrace is not a strong enough word ...

I'm still trying to remove the dirt from my eyes

My ruptured quad is now 90% so I can return to playing.. I wonder if they have replaced the blown lights on the back field and trimed the trees so that they do not block the lights that ARE working

 

[WELL INFORMED]

Concerned is 100% correct.  The Majority of the staff at CCF are focused purely on lightning.  The (High Performance Manager) HPM, Community manager and grounds man are all involved in lightning.  The Local Clubs are very much treated as second class.  The word on the street is that the HPM is down to the final 5 for the GM's position.  If that happens you can say goodbye to club football. 

The HPM also doesnt want to form any links with the mariners so they are getting involved with Gladesville.  Real foward thinking mob over there.

It is time the clubs voted out the current board and put some people in place that are a little forward thinking and have the best interests of all at heart.

You only have to look at the CCF website to see what a debacle the place is.  Wouldnt it be good to go to the CCF Website monday morning and see all the results, pointscores and the draw for the year etc.  Wont happen with the current mob

FOLLOWER, how hard did you look for the results? Friday and saturdays were put on the  CCF website saturday night and sundays I think were on there either late sunday night or monday some time. I think points scores were also there sometime monday as well  but you are correct on the "no draws" part of your comment though. To find results/point scores go to the competition section then click on winter competition and you should find them. A lot of the problems behind scores not getting published are the fact that teams/clubs fail to report  their scores accurately and on time.

You can't argue about Gosford Council having to bear some responsibility.

Gosford Council does not have one ground that has adequate lighting.

I wrote to council last year to voice my concern about this issue, the response was that Federal Government money had been allocated for such infrustructure and Council was looking into it.

If you have an Under 17 player waiting to play on a Gosford Council ground I wouldn't hold your breath.

Yeah fair call but have you seen the CCF website.  It is a joke.  Try and find info on it about the local comp.

Under Points tables is a diatribe from the end of last season about catch up games etc ... no 2009 tables ...

 

[Paolo]

I never said it was a good site or set up...but was proving how easy it is to find the info which is available

I notice the website today advertises the cc mariners v Lightning game, provides venue and time, can we have a date of this game, it would help get people to the ground, maybe.

Last night Terrigal lost 3-0 to a team entered from the Church competition.  It will be interesting to see how they go in their next round.
