With Crossley gone from Craigmore now, you'd think it's Hibbett's to lose.

They're a ripping bunch of blokes, and played the game in the right spirit. They put on a top-notch barbie after stumps, and invited us all to partake, and even offered to put on a barbie at our next trip up there.
We can't wait.

Top little hidden gem there hey FC? I haven’t played there myself but ventured out there a few times and enjoyed their hospitality.
Congrats on your clubs first Grade 1 win, I thought it might come against the enigmatic Eastern Park.

They may have different sub-committee's but they all fall under the one umbrella.

Those who are on the sporting club board perhaps need to be held to account though, it was always going to be a struggle losing senior football over the winter - they needed to tighten the purse strings and operate smarter - opening most days of the week and paying staff to be working those days is just dumb. You're never going to get the recurring patronage to make it sustainable.
Sell the pokies, reduce the sporting club opening hours significantly, perhaps even see if you can remove your FTE staff and get volunteers to work the bar whilst open, get your members to support the club more and that debt wont take long to disappear.

Yep, many contributing factors, they have paid staff for as long as I have remembered, hence their inflated drinks prices which leads to players generally having a few on the hill after games, I always went in for one or two but I'd have a few with the players that didn't go in first straight after the game.
At the end of the day I'm sure cricket will see the season out and the council allow them to use the oval, the cricket club is so strong that they would find a way to continue as their own identity, cricket doesn't cost the earth to run and they have some great people out there to make it work regardless of having access to the clubrooms
But hey, it's just heresay at the moment.
