im pretty sure it doesnt unless the whole sort of area where the lexus centre and olympic park is called gosch's paddock because on the news they show the pies practicing on the smaller oval over near the sheel on punt round and that has no fences so if thats not what your talking about we could play there

hmm?
after the bridge crossing over from the botanical gardens (i think its swan st) you continue down the road and on the left you have the vodafone and rod laver arenas and then the mcg and then richmond station
on the right its the lexus centre, olympic park, construction stadium, rugby pitch and gosches paddock which is at the next main intersection

Correct..its pretty much straight opposite the Shell servo in Punt Rd.
i think the transport access (Richmond Statioon) makes GP a clear winner?? anyone from all over melbourne can get to richmond station, and then its less then crossing the road to get to the ground...
quick question, say i wanted to drive, where wud i park? lol

" You don't lose a game, you just run out of time to score "
vg is out of the question. they are trying to keep the ground in perfect condition, what means no public. so i think the paddock is the way to go!

it has some green grass on it, mainly yellow, and still looks pretty hard!

its where collingwood acctually train and sometimes richmond...would be a pain getting kicked off halfway through a game so your gonna have to be honest and get one of the magpies to ask the club
exactly
How about we just stick with Glenferrie Oval, we know this is a goer
afterall we'll only be playing against black and white witches hats

Storm moved to Optus Oval at the start of last year.
It's just Collingwood that train there now.
It's the ground on the corner of Swan St and Punt Rd. Collingwood used to train on the ground next to Olympic Park but as that's no longer there they train at Gosch's Paddock.

the goal squarer there are pretty dry, i was thinking more on the line of Subiacco? but if not that i think we should stick with glenferrie as barks said because we know whats there and how it all works.
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
at the moment we are locked in for glenferrie oval on the 20th at 2pm.

I went past Glenferrie Oval this morning, the ground is looking fairly dead still, and the goal square at the Aquatic Centre end is looking more like the Sahara.
The grass is still very patchy, and hard under foot especially around the wings and 50m marks, there is no line markings either.
can we please have a vote, for who wants to play at Glenferrie Oval or Gosch's Paddock (pies training oval)
Gosch's is in perfect condition and we CAN play on it, it is an awesome oval!
Glenferrie has no grass, only weeds and sand/dirt with a hard surface!
i think you know which one i am voting for
so far the score board is:
Glenferrie - 0
Gosch's - 1
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
but if we play at the paddock there will be no after match bbq (because there is no bbq there), only drinks!
