I still say the 2 best grounds are Glenelg and Unley. Great atmosphere .
Brett, being a council park, it can't be helped that there are dog remains on Unley Oval on match day mornings. Not all owners of dogs do the right thing and collect them. This has resulted in the first people present at Unley Oval having to patrol the surface for these remains on match days. On occasion, this has been opposition officials and players.
Yes, I do go, and have been going for fifty years.
You are entitled to your opinions re Glenelg and Unley Ovals though, just stating some facts. It is not Sturt's fault that Unley Oval has the feel of being a temporary ground. After all, that is what it is - a council park for six days out of seven, a temporary football oval for one day of the week. As for Glenelg Oval, I agree - it is a tremendous location for football. IMHO, it rivals Richmond Oval as the best venue to watch football at. I find Norwood Oval to be an oval I don't feel comfortable at. The close proximity of the concrete wall to the playing surface always has me shuddering inside about the risk of injury to players. Possibly the fact that we rarely win there doesn't help either.
Cheers
