On the HV song, there is a section of the club very unhappy with it...I personally dont see the big deal, but they are very passionate about it
There is no 'section' of the club very unhappy with it, there may be a few individuals. The motion was raised by one person as is their right and the motion was heavily defeated. It's a non issue and was dealt with under the constitution. I know people love to make mountains out of molehills where HVFC is concerned, but this is exactly that, a molehill. In the words of Led Zeppelin....'The Song Remains The Same'. At the game on Saturday, I cannot even recall a conversation about the meeting that was held on the Wednesday.
As for the finals venue, for all the work that would have to be done, it would be a massive distraction for the club whilst playing in finals and the area would be very difficult to police due to the number of potential entry areas. Not that hard to sneak into any ground if you really wanted to. Stilol think the SFL needs to review the way this is done as it is a very odd thing to remove home ground advantage to a higher finished team, but I guess it's jujst one of the quirks of the competition.
