grounds to play on???? (forum games)

Post: # 506856Post saintdooley »

theres a few people thinking about having another saintsational game, this time on the 20th of Jan vs the Pies.

there was a lot of winging last time when we played on glenferrie, so its been suggested we move grounds, (although glenferrie is a bit greener because of the flooding the week before christmas.)

thinking about that paddock that the pies train on, because that is right next to all public transport, but when i drove past there today there were soccer goals up and no footy, but i would hope that would change by the 20th as the pies start back training about the 7th.

if people have any suggestions for a new home ground that would be awesome!
and is the 20th of Jan looking good for people?
thanks!

I think we should stick to Glenferrie.

In all honesty I don't think we can get another ground.

Moorabbin?

Surely the club would let you have the ground for a couple of hours, especially if people agreed to wear runners instead of footy boots ...

Balwyn might still have the goal posts up if anyone lives nearby and can be bothered checking ... it's normally in good condition ...


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

which oval at balwyn? Deepdene Park or Balwyn Oval?
and no, ive asked moorabbin before and they said that there would be no probs with it except we are in a drought and they are trying to keep the oval as green as possible, and that means only staff and players are allowed on :cry:

And would be a good move of the new board allowing its supporters to have a run on the hallowed turf.........

Don't believe the 'Ground Damage' story that keeps getting fed out... it's all about public liability... always has and always will be.

not to sure which one you are talking about......maybe the one next to the gym down the bottom of the hill a bit past Whitehorse rd?
if thats the one you are talking about, i dont know if the posts are up or down. and thats a bad location, because the closest train station is over 2k away.

Elgar Park (corner of Belmore and Elgar Rds in Box Hill) is in terrific condition apparently, and still has the footy goal posts up on the far oval ...

It's 2 mins from the Eastern Fwy and you can get a bus down Belmore Rd, but train/tram is a good 20-25 mins walk.
