It would have been better to have a story on bero's strong start to ffa cup.
So if he did answer the phone, Azzuri v Weston and Maitland v Adamstown would have been at Beresfield ??? Please
I think i agree games should be at the smallest club for each particular game day where plausible. But i mean, if you're the primary contact and you expect a call that would be very beneficial to your club then you glue your phone to yourself/check email constantly. can empathise with nnsw locking in the grounds as soon as they receive an offer. Also even if he did answer right away nnsw wouldn't give it to them if they still had the other offers.
Who doesn't get emails on their phones these days?
Just to put some info out there....
We at Jesmond, as the home team I was told, were contacted and offered to host Belswans in our fixture. Although was indicated they needed to know fairly quickly, upon requesting we were given until the next day so we could check on ground availability and also liaise with squad.
Were happy with how we were treated especially as the littlest mob left in the competition.
I feel Beresfield have every right to question why they can't host the game. It took him less then an hour to return the phone call. That is in no way an excessive length of time for a return call.
The mode and timing of the contact is the problem here. If they want a relatively quick response, ring first and follow up with email confirmation. Don't leave it until less then an hour before 'deadline' to pick up the phone.
Alternatively , prior to the draw send an email out to all clubs left asking them that if they are drawn at home would they want to host the games.
You then take the clubs that said yes and proceed to draw that out a hat to come up with the fairest way to allocate the hosting clubs and thus remove people having a reason to debate the fairness of the whole hosting club deciding factors.
