Ok, we are playing this weekend on the back fields. We will be training from there on too.
There are massive piles of dirt sitting on the tennis courts close to the fields, with sections of the fence next to the little grassed car park next to the field pulled down. Not sure if relevant, but there is also a massive pile of mulch sitting in the grassed car park.

Announcement at Club Tuggerah last year implied they would be finished before Christmas. I'm pretty sure they were talking about starting construction of the other facilities by now.
Anyway, these things always drag on a bit, but I would have thought the training fields would have a been a huge priority.

A $300,000 three-way funding arrangement to support Central Coast Mariners is in jeopardy.
Gosford Council has indicated it is unwilling to continue with the arrangement and if it does not change its mind the remaining two sponsors, Wyong Council and the Department of Industry and Investment, may also withdraw.
The matter was raised at last weeks meeting of Wyong Council where a formal decision was taken to continue with the funding arrangement, provided the other two agree.
General manager Michael Whittaker said in a report to the council that while no formal position from either Gosford Council or the department had been declared, discussions had indicated Gosford was unwilling to continue the sponsorship.
Mr Whittaker said it was a surprising decision considering most home games at Bluetongue Stadium attracted an average of 11,000 people with the majority of visitors staying overnight within Gosford City and that up to 500 direct and indirect jobs were associated with the home games.
The Mariners were the coasts only team able to showcase the Central Coast to a local, national and worldwide audience.
It has been said that prior to the establishment of the Mariners, the Central Coast, as a region, lacked an identity and a community pride, Mr Whittaker said in his report.
Council sponsorship and support of the Mariners has created a unique opportunity to market the Central Coast as a desirable location to both live and work.
He urged Wyong Council not to be discouraged but to lead the way in declaring its financial support for the new season.
His recommendation was accepted unanimously.

Hmm...It seems ridiculous to me that Gosford Council would withdraw sponsorship of the only local national sporting team. A team that for a large part of the year puts the name of the Central Coast in the mainstream media. Lets change the name of the team to the Wyongshire Mariners. But, and I can't be precise on the details, perhaps someone in Gosford has a bitter memory of the way they were ripped off for a similiar amount of money during the abject Asian Champions League campaign? Perhaps some chickens are coming home to roost?

No mate, they are absolutely potless.
