Dee's training next week is causing a Breast cancer fundraising game for Cranbourne footy club to be shifted this weekend.. no lights therefore night time and the function is off.

this is crap - just fucken fix it Dee's!

I believe that the MFC is also holding a fund raiser before their scheduled training session. If the Cranbourne Eagles are inconvenienced perhaps some compensation can be paid or an alternative day for their fund raiser could be organised. It doesn't seem to be either clubs fault on appearances just a shame that the ground has had heavy rainfall recently. 

I have sent an email to the club asking if there is something they an do to help. V

I missed this post completely: good on you blokes for contacting the club about it, pretty big guy vs little guy material.

Council decision - highly likely we had nothing to do with it. 

 The tabloid press is trying to paint our football club as a cold and callous corporation, ignorant of the community it represents.

It is not as if the club has forced the battlers of Cranbourne to move their Charity Dinner just so we can train .

But if they cause us any more issues they should be crushed,have their clubhouse leveled and any trace of their existence wiped from the pages of history.

They've gone from market gardeners to movers and shakers.

Upstarts.

First paragraph:

But the council says the surface is not fit for football and the match would have been moved, regardless of whether Melbourne was training.

no Journalism........ just  WTF !! 

Exactly. Everything you need to know is in the second sentence of the article. The rest is dross - apart from the repetition of the point made in the second sentence repeated two-thirds of the way down, just in case a reader missed the key point the first time.

Spot on as mentioned above.

Also there's no reason the dinner/fundraiser etc can't proceed.  They move the matches to Oval 2 during the day and the dinner/fundraiser takes place at the completion of the matches instead of before hand like what was initially planned.
