My gripe was not with the opposition supporters or the way we played or the fact we lost it is the fact I believe the ground is sub-standard for matches to be fixtured at night time.


at ALL grounds there is some sort of perceived problems & all clubs are doing their best to upgrade but it can not be done overnight as for cold pies etc that is easy take it back & ask for a hot one, i think every ground has a uniqueness & character about them & enjoy going to them, if you want comfort & the like i'd suggest go to the theatre or the like, if i didn't like a place etc i wouldn't go back, just like i dont like the way afl is played (trying not to lose instead of trying to win) & that is why i will not be renewing my footy park membership as i dont like it so i wont go the same applies in your case
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

lights are fine a lot better than at Norwood, toilets need to be upgraded urgently, extra sits will come in handy, but all SANFL clubs need extra sitting,

Regarding the lights eaglehaslanded at lest they all work, ANZAC day this year at Thebarton the lights went on and most of them didn’t work!

Maybe u should have called this Extremely Disappointed with the Eagles Form

If you want to sit, go to Footy Park or stay at home (like most of your off-siders). Footy is for standing and cheering. Sitting is what girls do when they have a piss. Lights are fine, better than Norwood. Try watching an association game at Flinders Park or Seaton.

my two bobs worth.......centrals were the better side....congratulations to them......but I have to say I doubt I will go back to a night game there as I had real difficulty in seeing the game......in fact I probably won't go and see another night game at any suburban oval in the future.....for goodnesss sake play the games during the day so everyone can see!

thats all folks!

I went to all 23 we played last season, have been to 8 from 10 this season and could count on 2 hands how many games I've missed in the last 14 seasons but I don't get to many games. I was standing down northern end of hamra oval the other night no row of seats to be found not that I think that is the major issue with the venue.
