1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Now. I was contacted earlier this week by a concerned

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: member of the Nightcliff Dragon's footy club after the school

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: that they train as had been vandalized again, meaning the

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: training grounds really couldn't be accessed. I've seen some photos

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: and some footage of the damage at Sanderson Middle School,

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: and I'm told that this is not a one off incident.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: It's something that the school and.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: The club are regularly dealing with.

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Now joining me on the line is the Nightcliff Dragon's

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: junior coordinator.

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: His name is Lloyd Robertson. Good morning to you.

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: Lloyd, Good morning Katie. How are you good?

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Mate? First off, commiserations of course, with Queensland losing last night.

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: I understand you are a Queensland supporter like me.

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, certainly locking the wounds this morning down in

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: Blue Territory here and I'm keeping that one under my hat.

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: I bet you are. I bet you are, Lloyd, mate.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: When I saw the photos and the damage to the

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: school and the oval, I actually didn't realize that that

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: area had become the main training ground for you guys

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: since the last of Richardson Park.

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: How long have you been training there?

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: We've been at Sanderson in particular since early twenty eighteen.

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: I think we commenced there. We were at several locations

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: before that. We've been a Nightcliff Middle School before that,

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: and that was we got kicked out of there because

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: they were going to turn it into a cricket and

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: to a cricket facility, but that never eventuated. And we're

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: at a couple of other locations before that as well.

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: After Riche closed down on the clubs in twenty twelve, yeah,

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: well and twenty eighteen, yeah.

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: Right, So it has been for quite some time.

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: This is obviously where you juniors and you've seen your

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: teams train, is it.

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: Correct, Katie. We don't spread ourselves across town across other

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: grounds like other sports and clubs do. Everyone trains from

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: the little follows from six years old right through to

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: our seniors. So Thursday nights is our busiest night. If

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: you were to go down there on a Thursday night,

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: there's over two hundred kids training on that paddock and

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: we use the top field and the bottom field and

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 3: the seniors following after that, so we use every single

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: inch of the ground available.

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: So, Mate, when something like this happens and when damage

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: like this is done, It has a massive impact on

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the club and everybody that trains well.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: It does, and not just because of the space we

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: need lock where even though it is a pretty big

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: area s Anderson Middle stool where there's a lot of us,

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: we try to keep ourselves together on similar nights so

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: we're all together as a club to keep that together.

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: So it breaks it up, makes it hard to space.

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: But the biggest Cascente and Katie is the safety of

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: it too. The recent damage from the weekend. Their proper

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: ankle breakers that have been ripped into that ground now,

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 3: so the risk is real that someone's going to get hurt.

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: And it's not a one off. This happens every couple

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: of weeks, two to three times a month, you know.

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Bloody hell, Lloyd like talk us through that damage to

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: those out there listening this morning that you know that

61
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: have got no idea what's happened? What does it appear

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: has happened there at Sanderson Middle School of the Oval.

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: What happens is hone's in cars, so you know whoever

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: they are in vehicles because you can access the field.

65
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: There's no fencing, there's no ballards. You can just drive

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: straight onto there, onto both fields top and bottom, and

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: it's more evident during the wet season when the ground's

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: a bit softer, they just get on there and do

69
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: circle working vehicles and chew it all up and completely

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: reckon on us. So it's happening all too often. It's

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: been going on ever since we've been there. We're not

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: going to stop it unless there's a little bit of

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: a infrastructure added to the place to prevent it from happening. Katie,

74
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: and that's who've been working on since for about three

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: years now. I'm only one person. There's been several of

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: us within the club that have been working on this

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: on and off together with Sanderson, and we're just going

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: round and round in circles and it's gotten to a

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: point now where we just can't get traction anymore. And

80
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: here we are talking to you about it to try

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: and get a bit of public attention to it that

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: what it deserves. Well, you know, I.

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Love football, but you know I you know, I'm incredibly

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: passionate about kids playing.

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Sport as well.

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: So what upsets me about this is not only the

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: fact that it has a big impact on the school

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and indeed sport, but what it means is you know,

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: those two hundred people that are getting out there and

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: getting active on a Thursday and other times of the

91
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: week aren't able to do so.

92
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: And why should good.

93
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Kids of the Northern Territory who are out there playing

94
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: their foot eat getting involved in sport. It might be

95
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: in a situation where they can't bloody play because some

96
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: wombat's decided to do circle work on the oval.

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, You're exactly right, Katie. And that's all

98
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: we're trying to do is get the kids off the

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: streets and into sports. And that's what they're doing and

100
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: where bus and now gots down there making that a

101
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: reality for them and all the mums and dad love

102
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: it and we just need a safe space for the

103
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: for the kids to run around. Mate.

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is the thing.

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: So tell me where are you at with the discussions

106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: and what exactly like what have had the club and

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: the school approached, you know, whether it's the council, the government,

108
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: who have you approached and what are you asking for?

109
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: There's several matters that we are trying to work towards

110
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: at s Anderson. So the long term vision is to

111
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: is to end up with a facility where we can

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: host a senior rugby league match on that ground to

113
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: have our own home ground. So that's the endgame. But

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: those things take time, which we understand. But on the

115
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: road there's the pathway to that, Katie. We need the

116
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 3: place made safe for a start, and then we need

117
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: some sort of facility where there's like a change room

118
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: or whatnot, and so we can sell a burger and

119
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: make our own money as a club. Sanderson are all

120
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: on board with this. The principle there's a top blow

121
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: and he wants this to happen. The business manager there

122
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: wants to happen. I caught up with Kate Warden in

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: person earlier in the year, at early March, I think

124
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: it was, and I've emailed her about She seemed to

125
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: be aware of the matter, but not really across the

126
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: details either, and she did say that she was going

127
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: to take that to a meeting with the education department.

128
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: I think that happened, but it's just been pretty quiet

129
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: ever since, Katie, and it's just seemed to be losing

130
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: traction again.

131
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: How much would that all cost, do you know?

132
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: Cost?

133
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

134
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: Not undercent surely yet. We just had it surveyed the

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: other day at the club we paid for a surveyor

136
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: to peg it out the show where the ballards have

137
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: got to go. So we've done some background work on

138
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: that oil. So no, the school have had an assessment

139
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: done on the irrigation because the irrigation is not working

140
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: really well at all. It's pretty noticeable if you drive

141
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: past this from here you can see how patchy it is.

142
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: And that's the second half of the problem, so that

143
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 3: the bottom half of the field is so hard and dry,

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: it's quite unusual. Now you're sending kids home with gravel

145
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: orrash on their legs up. So you've had an assessment

146
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 3: done on that, senus and have and they're just awaiting

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: that report to come back. And once they got the report,

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: well then we can move into some pricing and stuff

149
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: like that and the facilities up for.

150
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: So from like what I can gather, you know, there's

151
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: I suppose there's a couple of moving parts here. Like

152
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: longer term you want that facility to obviously, you know,

153
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: you want to be able to have a kiosk there

154
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: and some and a change room so that you can,

155
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, so that it can be your club ground.

156
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: But in the short term, essentially what you want is

157
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: irrigation and some ballards. It doesn't sound like it's that

158
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: much to ask.

159
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: No, No, we just need the ground ward and we

160
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: need the ballards around it to make it safe. Honestly,

161
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: it needs to happen in the short term we can

162
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 3: remain healthy as a club.

163
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Like Honestly, to me, that sounds like common sense. It

164
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: actually sounds ridiculous that we're not in a situation where

165
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: that's already happening.

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: It's a bloody score ground.

167
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: The frustration is real, and yeah, there's there's some fatigues

168
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: starting to set in on this within the club and

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: it's like we're to next so it's just hitting rickcalls Katie. Yeah,

170
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: is why we're talking today.

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Well, and like we are, we're in the leading to

172
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: an election. But also we've seen from the council at

173
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: different times and from the government in even in recent

174
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: months where there have been different ovals where they've actually

175
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: put those ballards in because it has been required due

176
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: to some issues with antisocial behavior and with stolen vehicles

177
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: and being driven on those ovals.

178
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: You know, to me, it's a real no brainer.

179
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about a school ground that's being used by

180
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: the school and also by a footy club for kids

181
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: and adults to be able to play on that ground.

182
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Like having irrigation seems common sense. And if there's billards

183
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: there to stop people driving onto that oval like it

184
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: beggars belief to me that that's not already in place.

185
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: I'm hearing you. Yeah, so I don't know. Hopefully we

186
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: can gain a little bit of traction and head in

187
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: that direction, Katie, Yeah it is. It is a nice

188
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: big area. It's a beautiful big ovals A. It's a

189
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: great little community. But the facility just needs some love

190
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: and the keeper is healthy.

191
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let us see what we can. You know,

192
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: we'll stay on to it. We'll ask Samir about it.

193
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: We'll ask the counsel about it. We'll also we might

194
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,239
Speaker 1: ask both or we might ask all of the candidates

195
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: as well, who are putting their hand up for that

196
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: electorate what they're prepared to do to try and make

197
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: that ground safer so that, you know, so that kids

198
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: are able to play their sport there and also adults.

199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, though you are, You've you

200
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: said right from the get go you're in New South

201
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Wales at the moment, you're actually there for very good reason.

202
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: You've just gotten off the players. I understand it traveling

203
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: with with some.

204
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Of the Northern Territory kids heading off. Is it for

205
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: the National Rugby League?

206
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: It's the National Rugby League. Yeah, so they call it

207
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: the Australian Secondary Schools National Rugby League Competition. So the

208
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: two categories for our territory in kids as the boys

209
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: is an under fifteens category and the girls is an

210
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: under sixteens category, and there's also an under eighteens that

211
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: they go away I think the following weekend or something. Yeah,

212
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: so absolue down last night and the kids are on

213
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: the plane at lunchtime today and they'll meet us down.

214
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, a big shout out to all those rugby

215
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: league players and the girls. Yep, they're on their way

216
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: down here to run up against some pretty tough opposition.

217
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: But they're going to come home much better kids for

218
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: it and the weak ahead.

219
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Such good experience for them, and I know it's hard

220
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: sometimes for the territory teams. You know, I'm guessing that

221
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: there's probably kids from from Katherine Alice Springs remote communities.

222
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: And they all get together.

223
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: They've got a couple of days to train together or

224
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: a day probably to train together and then get stuck

225
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: into it against other teams that have been training together

226
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: for months.

227
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: Oh it is. You know. Our kids are always up

228
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: against it, Katie. They don't play the amount of football

229
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: that they do on the Eastern Seaboard and not at

230
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: that level either, so it is tough for them. But

231
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: Territory kids are pretty tough team mate, so I think

232
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: they're up for it, and like I said before, they'll

233
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: be they'll come back much better for it.

234
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: All good stuff, Lloyd, great to speak to you this morning, mate.

235
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Please wish the kids best of luck from us.

236
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I hope that they do really well and I hope

237
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: they gained some great experience. But look, we'll try and

238
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: stay on to this situation as well with the Sanderson

239
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Middle School and with that Oval. Can you keep us

240
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: up to date as well if you do end up

241
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: hearing from the council or from the minister or anybody.

242
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,240

Speaker 1: like I want to say, right, you know really clearly

249
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: what this means to kids, being able to get out

250
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: there and do something positive out there playing football to

251
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: me is very important and if you're able to actually

252
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: do that in such.

253
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: A way where they're.

254
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: On those footy grounds and being able to use them

255
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: for positive they should not be punished because other people

256
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: are out doing the wrong thing in the ground's no

257
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: longer accessible.

258
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Exactly right, Yeah, thank.

259
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000
