SA Footy

Seaton definitely, think about it ...if you kicked a ball at the changeroom end and it kept travelling, it would hit aami stadium. That's west!

Lindblom definitely north south.

I've just never had any issues seeing the footy at Seaton, felt like I've spent more time looking into the sun at Pooraka. I would've thought Linblom runs parallel with Montague Road?

If the sun is out pag you'd probably be yelling at the runner for some sunscreen.

I'm lost lol

Lindblom definitely runs North South while Seaton runs North-East South-West.

Compass please.

I havent been to Seaton for a few years - can someone remind me where on Marbles map the goalposts would now be?

Bottom left and top right of your screen....

In the middle of winter the sun is much further north, so you are more likely to get sun in your eyes while standing at the southern end of a North South ground than you are standing at the eastern end of a East West ground. This is certainly the case at Lindblom Park and Rowe Park which both run North-South. The worst layout is NNW - SSE, which is how Etihad Stadium is laid out and why there are arguments over whether they should close the roof on a sunny day.

you sure? i dont doubt you know your oval better than me but my built in compass tells me its more likely east to west..

Houghton perhaps a NE-SW like Seaton?

Seaton is SW/NE.

It's the worst ground in the world to bat on when your strength is through cover/mid-off.

Y'all realise that Cardinal Directions are measured in degrees right? Ovals are not oriented just one way or another...

OMG.

The vernacular everyone is using "North, South, East and West" are known as Carindal directions - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_direction

The directional names are also routinely and very conveniently associated with the degrees of rotation in the unit circle:

North (N): 0° = 360°
East (E): 90°
South (S): 180°
West (W): 270°

In other words, you're all being imprecise with both your language and measurements.
