SAAFL Division 5 & D5R (2012)

[S Demon]

Campbelltown Oval
Div 5R - Adelaide Lutheran v North Haven (2nd Semi-Final)

Is Campbelltown a big/small oval? Does it get very muddy? I've never played footy there, only ever watched cricket at Campbelltown and it was a great surface, that was the middle of summer though.

It's a big oval. Will suit NH. Depends on how much rain we get during the week. Should be ok if the rain holds off. Drove past in on saturday and it it didn't look too bad (from the road anyway)

Not sure why your bothering as game won't be there
Maybe a little closer to town on prospect rd

[Footy Chick]

There are no ovals on Prospect Road.. there's only Kilburn which is on Lionel Avenue and Prospect Oval which is Willcox Avenue (or thereabouts )

Played the in lasts years GF held there. Its a good ground to play on also its a decent size but its a final as long as your pumped for a big one it wont matter what ground it is

Doesn't take much rain to turn into a dung heap, it has been the boggiest ground I've ever played on in the past, my boot kept coming off and there were hardly any kicks that travelled more than 25 metres.
The whole oval was like it.

Why wouldnt the game be played at Campbelltown Oval for?

I believe ROCS have requested that their C Grade play there on Saturday

[The Chump is here...]

Blair Athol Reserve (Kilburn)

B Grade 12:15
Adelaide Lutheran V North Haven

A Grade 14:15
Adelaide Lutherna V Kenilworth

A good sized oval, normally holds up pretty well around the ground, but the middle can get pretty slippery with rain. With the weather this week I would expect it to be in pretty good condition come Saturday. B Grade game should be a cracker. Luthies in the A's (if dry) will win quite comfortably 60+ for mine.

it was put down as a triple header with the C grade game at 10.15am.

Why are they charging people to go and watch the game at Kilburn for?

So they make some money.

Finals make up approx 10% of the SAAFL income and as a result this has been one of the reason why cost to clubs have not risen in over the last 7 years - or at least thats what someone told me

Entry fee's are good, they are a deterrent for dickheads to just rock up and be dickheads.

I agree with you there LM but I do think prices are a little excessive. $8 to watch the D7 Elimination Final on the weekend did turn away a couple of our regulars who come to watch each weekend for something to do. Funny thing is most of the dickheads who rock up to finals and be dickheads come from clubs who have already finished their seasons not from clubs participating in the game

I agree that grand finals should be charged but not neutral finals.

Has it downside I guess, I just notice the difference in spectators in the country leagues where people are less inclined to make idiots of themselves because they spent money to get in opposed to the Saturday afternoon at the local oval with a few mates and a full esky.
