Ummmm...? SCG, MCG, GABBA, Adelaide Oval, Bellreive, Manuka, York Park, the NT grounds, Kardinia Park...?plugger66 wrote: Dave you need to stop thinking in the 60's. What AFL grounds now have cricket pitches?
And whilst not (yet) an AFL ground, Pluggs... footy games are still played on the Junction Oval.
I haven't heard that the pitch there is minefield to bat on(?)
The vast, vast majority I would have thought.plugger66 wrote:What cricketers now only train or play for 6 months?
And if you are talking about playing (as distinct from training) in Melbs', then I would say, all of them.
(Ok, the Sri Lankans at Silverton excepted. )
Well, there's the one you and Mart watch Sandy games at... TBBO.plugger66 wrote:What footy grounds have mainly standing room?
On Saturday at Vic Park, I noticed many, many people, and of all ages, happily watching the footy... standing.
And as recently as last decade... Kardinia Park.
Again Pluggs, I thought you re-read that article(?)plugger66 wrote:Geelomg and the governement have spent many millions on making the ground bugger all bigger attendance wise but confortable for all the crowd. Time for forget that silly dream unless you can come up with logic for spending 200 million on a ground that will play 2 games a year because it would only ever hold 15k at the most.
It said quite clearly that once completed (possibly as soon as 2016) the capacity would be 40,000.
Humans are running this place less and less all the time. It's called the modern world Pluggs. We aren't in the 60's any more.plugger66 wrote:It will not happen whilst humans run this place.
So I'm glad to see that you are starting to come 'round.
Dave I keep asking for logic and you keep disappointing me. If OM's are moving and CV are taking over the ground logic says there will be no footy there. Please use common sense. Where in the article does it suggest the Saints will ever use the JO as their ground. Everything points to the opposite. All district cricketers train at least 9 months a year and all Victorian cricketers train 10 months a year so they will be training whilst we are playing at the ground. The answer is no because we arent playing there and it is CV ground. And yes OM play there at the moment but also at the moment it isnt a shield ground and the Victorians still train at the G. This will now be the home of CV so all the training will be done at the ground, inside and out. Great example re the grounds. 1000 people at a VFL game. VFL games used to attract many more than that but with people becoming spoilt bt AFL stadiums crowds have dropped off. For god sake Dave give a real examples, not stuff that makes me look right. I thought you were trying to make a point for playing AFL footy at the ground but all you seem to be doing is making points in my favour. And I have no idea what article you are talking about but the Caro article mentions no attendance at all. Is this another of your fantasyland articles.
