IT’S a bit of a shock to realise that I won my first championship almost half my lifetime ago. I was barely 20 when Sydney Olympic won the NSL in 2002 and I think I took it for granted a little bit. I just thought: This is normal and this happens all the time.
Then of course you start to realise how difficult it is just to get to the grand final, let alone win it. So six years later, as a relatively senior pro at Newcastle Jets, I made sure that I enjoyed every moment when we qualified to face the Mariners in 2008.
The Government have added Royal Ascot and the second Test of England s series against New Zealand at Edgbaston to their list of pilot events where bigger crowds will be allowed than are currently permitted under stage three of the post-lockdown roadmap.
Next month s Test between England and New Zealand will welcome around 18,000 fans each day after being selected as the first of the government s latest test events.
Currently, outdoor venues are only permitted to be at 25% capacity, or 10,000 spectators, but the stadium will be 70% full for the match against the Black Caps when it takes place between 10-14 June.
The game will be played 11 days before Freedom Day when government hopes to lift all social distancing on June 21.
