House Bros have ceased their naming rights sponsorship of Unley Oval so it will now be known as:

Commander Centre Oval

Are House Bros still a club sponsor or have they taken their bat and ball ...?

IIRC, there was some excitement at the AGM last year.

Gee that rolls off the tongue well :roll: Don't think I have ever called a SANFL venue by anything other than it's original name...Then again I still say Footy Park and Footscray :oops: :oops:

Maybe it's named after all the commands you give your dog while walking there.

Dont be too embarrassed mate, as a couple of the lads above mentioned it's a necessary evil for most these days .. The alternative of not having the $$ this generates is a much worse thought.
