You talking about as a parent?
I coach a few of the rep sides, struggled to get in try outs/training sessions. I reckon I sent out over 40 emails this term postponing trials, training or calling off PSSA. People will be getting sick of me but its this bloody rain.
Yeah. Primary school PSSA. I coach/manage the 2 teams and we got Rd 1 and Rd 3 in. Lost a couple of training mornings too. Problem is, the cricket ground we play on is also a soccer ground. When it rains, the council close it at 3pm and review 24 hours later. So not only our after school / weekend soccer training on Thursday gets cancelled at 3pm, I also know the same oval will still be shut the next morning and sure enough, PSSA is then cancelled. It's driving everyone nuts. Played first soccer game in a month last weekend, and that was an inter club trial because half the other fields are closed and the association cancelled them all.
Not only that, I have been to two NRL games this years, vs Tigers and Roosters, and it bucketed down both times. Not that I care, but when it's night time, and cooler, the kids needs rain coats, hoodies, all the shit the carry with them and then collect all the club promo stuff at the turnstiles, it gets annoying. Here's hoping the Dogs game is dry.
So when all these people say Sydney is spoilt, it's to NSW centric, don't support the game, too lazy, too this, too that...it really bloody annoys me. No one in their right mind will sit there in rain.
