Home sweet Hamra home

CENTRAL District general manager Kris Grant believes the naming of SANFL grounds will be more prevalent after his club announced a new naming rights deal with Hamra Homes.

After finance company NAP relinquished its sponsorship, Grant revealed the club's home ground would be known as the Hamra Homes Oval for five years.

The name change comes after Norwood unveiled Coopers Stadium as its new name for The Parade this season. Added to West Adelaide's existing agreement with Broadspectrum, it appears the trend is spreading. "With Westies, Norwood and us, I would imagine other clubs would be looking to do the same," Grant said. "Having the extra sponsorship (for naming rights) helps in improving all of the facilities at the Hamra Homes Oval."

Negotiations between the Bulldogs and Glenelg are continuing over the services of talented wingman Troy Butcher. The Tigers have set a transfer fee and now Grant will consult with his finance committee to see if a deal can be made.

Get with the times Punky. Most of the AFL ovals have got a naming sponsor.

Good work by centrals to get another company for the naming rights after NAP moved out.

hamra homes oval sounds interesting it is good to see the doggies using their brains and making some money. Hopefully they use it to upgrade the dunnies and make Hamra Homes Oval a safe and wonderful place to visit. to many people it was and still is Elizabeth.

What would make Ham Oval a great place to visit is if the city of Playford upgraded the Elizabeth train station. Perhaps upgrade the lighting and security, and the lighting between the station and the ground, it may look a bit more welcoming for the night fixtures.

What's in a name anyway?

Unless it's a classic like Gary Frangalas.
