I suppose on that logic that we should include ovals. How many clubs now shouldn't be in division 1? And just to be clear Bridgewater have 3, yes 3 ovals including in my opinion the jewel in the HFL crown at Callington.
Sorry but I'm not sure why you would say that the standard of facilities you can afford should be a requirement for division 1.
Cracka, I agree that no 1 team yet should be claiming supremacy.
I wonder how much difference a large oval would make NB v Bridgee and what about Hancock? Surely a big impact with him back in.
There's plenty of games to go and it has been enjoyable seeing so many good teams go at it knowing that as you say any 1 of them could win on the day.
Our facilities at worst were still better than bridgewaters. Was there on Anzac Day, strange setup indeed[/quote]
I agree but the question is should that be a qualification for division 1?[/quote]
I really can't understand why some people talk so highly about the Callington oval... sure its big, and dry when the hills oval are wet.... but the facilities are awful. Back in my playing days the oval surface was littered with 3 corner jacks. I remember pulling them out of my knees after games. Footy is a winter sport so expect a bit of mud.
