A Kids Perspective on SANFL grounds

[johntheclaret]

Is there a grass area at Richmond my memory thinks its cement city.

There's grass growing through the cracks

Yeah, there's quite a bit that stretches around from the north eater pocket to the south western pocket.
Sometimes not very green depending on rain (like most grounds) but my kids have had quite a bit of fun playing there over the years, also had a bouncey castle most times in recent history.

I must be pissed everyone time i go there or just cant take my eyes of the football from watching the dogs pile on goal after goal.

He He I know a prominant poster on this site who was Born bulldog but left the litter soon after....

It does happen Tas.
Wouldn't be Tiger Supporter would it?

Not me DW.... born and bred in Elizabeth mate, live in Craigmore now, but the black and gold beanie mum got me when i was little, transfered to black and gold in my veins . However, I do have a tiny soft spot in me some where for the dogs, but only because of peer pressure from my very one eyed mates.

Oh dear, my three kids answers to this not real flash or are they. All agreed with the following

Prospect, great to watch footy, great for kids, great to watch dad come back from the Taj drunk

Other grounds, dad you only take us to adelaide, woodville, Thebarton and footy park grand final days when North are in it
we get stuck with mum, you come back from watching the footy with the grog squad drunk but then
always buy us McDonalds on the way home so we like going there


Think I had better change my habits

Where abouts in Craigmore TS? PM me if you don't wish to reveal.
For interests sake, I played my verryyyy first game of footy at Craigmore South PS.
My wife's parents live opposite, funny how life goes in funny directions eh?

BTW - TS I knew lots of bay supporters in Lizbeff growing up.

I think you mean "unrinsable" - certainly not "invincible".

With Miss Wedgie's comments re Prospect and Elizabeth Ovals, is she really saying that she likes Prospect because North supporters attend home games and she does not like Elizabeth because North supporters don't travel?
Cheers

She's saying she doesn't like hte majority of people at Elizabeth but does like the majority of people at Prospect.
I think North supporters are one of the best at travelling to Elizabeth we me being an exception as I miss a lot of games out there.

PMs remain in your Outbox until the recipient opens it, as soon as the recipient opens it (ie logs onto this site, sees they have a private message waiting and clicks on it), it then transfers to your sent items.

Handy way to know if someone's received your message or not.

Cheers for that Wedgie

My kids go to games where they can run around, play with the footy etc etc...
My daughters/son are too young to really explain, so from Dad's view.
1/ Glenelg, good grass areas especially by the scoreboard, toilets Ok by North/East end, close to home
2/ Woodville, a family favourite, good grass areas, good catering, good toilets, close to home
3/ Richmond, not bad grass area, Excellent BBQ, close to home
4/ Prospect, not bad grass area, catering OK, reasonably close to home
5/ Elizabeth, good grass, good facilities, a fair hike
6/ Noarlunga, as per Elizabeth
7/ Unley usually near the playground, too crowded, ok after the game for a kick (watch out for poop kids )
8/ Alberton, good facilities, no grass, close to home
9/ Norwood, beer which kids can't drink , cement city...
10/ Adelaide, good grass, expensive catering, good tiolets, loses heaps of points for the no footy policy in/on the oval.
11/ Thebarton, minimal grass, toilets a fair way out of the ground (east wing), catering poor. Close to home but !
12/ None of my kids have been to Footy Park, not a bad ground, close to home !!

Is there a grass area at Richmond my memory thinks its cement city.

At the top of the cement terracing on the outer side there is a huge grassed area that stretches right back to the fence.

[bay_girl23]

unley because of the wendys hot dog van

i'm not quite a child - but i think unley has the best catering!
