I thought you said that yo re-read the article Pluggs? Can you show us the part where it says there will be no footy at the Junction Oval?

Ummmm...? SCG, MCG, GABBA, Adelaide Oval, Bellreive, Manuka, York Park, the NT grounds, Kardinia Park...?
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(?)
plugger66 wrote:What cricketers now only train or play for 6 months?
The vast, vast majority I would have thought.
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.
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.

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.
Again Pluggs, I thought you re-read that article(?)
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.
So I'm glad to see that you are starting to come 'round.
