Question: Why the hell the JDF, the JFF and

[Karl]

the government do not partner to give us good NPL fields?

[Mosiah]

JDF?! What is their background?

[DweetSweet]

Why should an armed force be tasked to build soccer fields The question that you should ask is why cant NPL clubs create and maintain competition-level playing surfaces and facilities in an economically sustainable way.

You only have to look at Jamaica's golf courses and its greens to know that the expertise, resources and technology is available in Jamaica to create and maintain excellent playing sources, at a price of course. And that JDF does not have that expertise. One look at the JDF's own football fields will tell you that.

Puleeeze.....

[DweetSweet]

Sorry, let me try that again.....

Thought the JDF engineering unit only lazed about?!
...and the army may just need practise building such as fields...being allied to its needed ability to build surfaces for its heavy equipment, airforce and 'men'?

Wonder why other banches of armed forces can build their own sports complexes...including their playing fields?

[Mosiah]

Most countries armies do not have to double as police officers. Is either dem nah do nutten or dem a fight real war.

[Assasin]

There is a big disconnect. Two mini stadium build in remote areas and nah use and we have NPL teams who want stadiums and pitch.

Welcome to Jamrock.

Having played several of Jamaica's golf courses, I would disagree.
White Witch and Tryall are both world-class courses.

Superclubs Runaway Bay and Sandals (Upton, Ocho Rios) are better-than average. Sandals probably gets more rain, because it is located on the opposite side of the mountains.

Caymanas Golf Club is OK. Constant Spring is only good for a quick round if I were staying in New Kingston. If I were staying in Portmore, Constant Spring would be a waste of money.

Ironshore would be better off as a goat farm.

I have not played Three Palms, Half Moon, Negril Hills, or Manchester.

why dont mo the contractor solicit is services.. we do live in a capitalist society.. you pay me to build the fields I will build it..

[Karl]

How many teams in the NPL? ...how many use government - local or central government - owned fields?

How many fields would it be for the government to build and provide end of season maintenance? Cost? ...could a part of the in season in-take be used to defray cost of the upkeeps? Would the rewards (results achieved including improved peformances at NPL levels, national levels, sale of more players to outside of the country sources, etc. ) for government & citizens be worthwhile?

[Mosiah]

Mo the Contractor - hmmm...has a nice ring to it!
