The Lakes FC

Due to rain we may have to close our fields. This is due to drainage and assessing the risk of damage. 

At times, Training and Games can be played, even in rain, unless there are dangerous conditions, such as lightning or hail. 

Our Field status will be announced on our website, as well as our Facebook Page. 

A call is made as early as possible, and all steps are taken to try and allow football to be played!

MID – WEEK & FRIDAY NIGHT CANCELLATIONS

When closing fields from wet weather, clubs must contact Football Brisbane (FB) no later than 2:00pm on the afternoon of the match. The HOME club is responsible for deciding if matches are to proceed.

If any matches are called off, the HOME club is required to EMAIL Football Brisbane (competitions@footballbrisbane.com.au) with this advice (NOT telephone messages).

If the situation arises where conditions deteriorate after 2:00pm, clubs are to text the Wet Weather number (can be found on the Salesforce Community Portal) to discuss the options – do NOT send an email.

If matches have not been postponed by 5:00pm, it is then the Referee’s decision, on arrival, as to whether matches are to go ahead.

Matches postponed will be listed in either the “JUNIOR GROUND CLOSURES” section and/or the “SENIOR GROUND CLOSURES” section (under “Wet Weather”) on the Football Brisbane website (clubs will NOT be advised by SMS unless there are late postponements).

SATURDAY & SUNDAY CANCELLATIONS

The HOME club is responsible for deciding if matches are to proceed. If any matches are called off, the HOME club is required to text Football Brisbane on the Wet Weather number no less than three (3) hours prior to the kick off time, of the first scheduled match of the day.

If the situation arises where conditions deteriorate after these times, clubs are to text the Wet Weather Number (can be found on the Salesforce Community Portal) to discuss the options – do NOT send an email.

If matches have not been postponed after following the above procedure, it is then the Referee’s (this includes club referees) decision, on arrival, as to whether matches are to go ahead.  Should the Referee postpone matches, the HOME club must notify (by text) the Wet Weather Number (can be found on the Salesforce Community Portal).
