Pre-season β€” no rounds played

You stand in the middle of the oval, ball scuffed in one hand, a clipboard in the other. The outfield needs a cut. The sightscreen leans like a drunk uncle.

Ahead of you the clubrooms sag under a rusted roof. Paint curls off the weatherboards. Half the boundary fence is missing palings, and the scoreboard still shows a match played three seasons ago.

You are the new club administrator. Season one starts in eleven weeks. Where do you begin?

You have 2 actions left β€” spend them here or on the task board.
