We havent had a decent winter for a long time
Councils manage the grounds much better now than even 5 years ago. Gone are the days of councils just watering and cutting the oval.

Yes they do but lets wait until we have a wet winter before we laud them too much. Alot of their measures have been band-aid jobs, not solutions that address the core problems like soil type and grasses which are very costly to fix.
Dont get me wrong, Im no expert and what they have done is better than nothing and its good councils are starting to recognize the importance of good sporting facilities.
Its amazing what happens when 100% of the population can use them instead of 50%. Lot more votes in it for all forms of government

One of the worst grounds, and certainly top 3 worst change rooms on top.

Outside deck that overlooks the oval, the new electronic scoreboard on the opposite side and the hills that surround which gives a good vantage point where ever you choose to go.. home change rooms are quality too.
Downside is a crap BBQ and limited canteen (although the hotdogs and Athelstone Bakery pies are pretty good) and parking can be tricky at times.

The Williamstown Oval would be a strange one hey Daisy? very picturesque but I could imagine it would get messy on a cold day.

Its easily the worst oval in the comp with the 2nd worst facilities (behind South Gawler)
It doesnt get above 6 degrees even with the sun out, its generally a bog, council has installed better drainage in the last 2 years, see how that goes. Teams have been known to get stuck inside the ground if it gets real wet, doesnt take long for the river to become unpassable.

I reckon Camden oval might improve in the rankings when we finally get to play there.

I can't believe West Croydons away change rooms escape scrutiny, or do senior team just not used them?
