A home ground....

[Grimfang]

I wasn't aware until tonight that clubs were allowed to do this, but if the AFL financial equivalent of a dirtfarmer can make a decent effort to make TD look like a home ground (Team flags on the posts around TD, Banners over all the entry gates and huge posters of club champions hanging from the TD roof), is there anything stopping us from putting in some cash & effort to make it feel like a home ground?

Eight years on, it still feels like rent-a-dome when we play home games there. Maybe making it feel like home may inspire some of our less vocal supporters to arc up. Heaven knows we need it; I swear sometimes it's as quiet as a morgue during our games.

Best, most truthful statement i have heard in a long time.

Thing that always makes me wonder is why the dogs fans hang a doug hawkins wing sign on the city wing cant ever remember dougie playing at the rent-a-dome.

Yeah.
Those big banners of EJ, Doug, Grant etc. looked OK.

Kept thinking how good would it be to have The Doc, Stewie, Big Carl, Lowe, Bourke etc. gazing down at our home games.
The Dogs only had 5, we could come up with 30 or 40 past champions and ring the ground with them for home games ????

To be honest I have never felt like I have been to a "true home" game since we left Moorabbin.

These shared concrete all seating arenas just don't do it for me.
