Must be high qaulity cricket up there

315 is 315 wherever you make it dick.

My name is not dick btw.... although strangely enough I have been called that name plenty of times.

The knock must have lost some credibility when you read that opposition players filled in from the other side and that the oval was divided into two grounds.
Can I ask how many 12 year old kids played in the game?

Great to see Rangers coming out to train at Ravendale, I wonder if its a sign of
things to come.
Maybe one day we could have night game there
PS

PLCC gave approval Monday night for a turf wicket to be installed at Ravendale #1 Oval

One has to wonder if the appropriate homework has been done eags. Cricket has very little volounteer support (as seen recently at your Pt Adel match) and does not have a lot of incoming revenue $. They are just getting by supporting centenary, and that pitch is questionable on most occasions, let alone having to support another one.
I know one full time sports administrator who works for the council that is totally against the idea. He is well aware that the PLCA can not sustain a turf pitch at the venue. It does not have the funds or volounteer support.
Just beacuse a few councellors want to utilise the toilets/bar/canteen that means thousands of dollars loss per year to the taxpayer.
Bad mistake IMHO but what hasn't been out that way?
Maybe the taxpayers might have their say on more money being spent out there. I think we will hear more on this one. I invite your thoughts on the issue.
Was this in Burfitt's vision?

Out of interest, who maintains the pitch at Centenary?

[coyote ugly]

Can only hope some of the other clubs follow suit Kocksy maybe then Centenary would be back to its best

Other clubs have their own grounds to maintain already though. I think considering your club trains there twice a week and uses it as a home ground $10k is about right.

But well done LSFC all the same....

Thankyou to all those working for reduced rates and goods donated/cost price at headqaurters. A true community effort at p[resent and the tiling looks great at the moment.
It is not to late to get your name on the grandstand. $200 is all it takes and your name will be there forever. If you love centrenary it is a small outlay for what you can show your kids and grandkids that you cared.
Once again thankyou and dig deep.

I think the PLCA do, due to the PLCC pulling all funds a couple of years ago. A curator (retired gentleman) paid by the PLCA gets $250 per week. Eags would know more than me

This is just the first step. There's no guarantee that we'll be playing turf cricket there in the next few years. However, without council support we couldn't begin the process.

At this stage we believe the council won't be contributing cash towards the project. It will be funded by the PLCA and grants will be sought to cover the cost of the project. I would envisage most of the work will be done by locals under the guidance of Les Burdett.

The PLCA owns enough machinery to maintain two ovals. The main ongoing additional costs would be curator wages, which the PLCA should be able to cover.

In all I think it's a great step for the PLCA - the more turf cricket we can play the better off we are. Double headers and Ravendale on a Saturday afternoon/night would be a great result!

[coyote ugly]

We already have one pitch on the best country oval in Australia that you all moan about that sides can't score over 100 on it. Why create another problem?
I have some insight to the PLCA cash flow and cant imagine where this extrra $4,000 per year is going to come from to pay someone else to curate the other oval?
Why not put turf at Poole as part of the redevlopment there?

[OnSong]

I know in Whyalla, the pitch is prepared by the clubs, each take it in turns to prepare it for both Saturday and Sunday games.
Generally, someone with a bit of pitch knowledge (currently I think it's Greg Fiebig) helps "oversee" the process each week.
The decks can vary from time to time, but they tend to be reasonably consistent.
That could free up some cash for the PLCA or is that a ridiculous suggestion?

PS: Best country oval in Australia is a bit of a big call.

I got told by the president that putting the covers on on a friday night is too much of a hassle for these guys. Can't imagine them prepairing a pitch . It would be way out of their league.

Why not rip up Centenary and put a hard wicket in there then?
