Due to the bias voting why not make it so can vote for 2 grounds?
For me Richmond Oval- great BBQ, fishbowl bar.
And a tossup between Glenelg and Alberton so I ll go with Glenelg cause closer to home and I can walk there. Like Alberton as cheap drinks at bowling club.

I'll own up to voting for my own team's ground.
Reasons were pure nostalgia, so much of my life has happened at Unley. I also like the surroundings, know all the haunts and like all the supporters bunched up together as it adds to the atmosphere. Other grounds also have a good atmosphere but I'd be lying if I said the familiarity of my own home ground doesn't outweigh any of those other factors.

2nd favourite would be the Parade owing to that atmosphere thing and its position, it is pretty easy to get to, and in the old days I used to enjoy it when the bus went past that old guy's house that was completely decked out in Norwood colours. He'd often stand in his front yard and wave and carry on as the bus filled with footy supporters rolled past, and of course half the bus would boo and abuse the old guy and the other half would cheer him on.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

They wheeled him out in his wheelchair to toss the coin for the last night match between Norwood and South at the Parade and the crowd definatly appreciated seeing him there!

And he was there in Rundle Mall when they had the SANFL Grand Final Parade and presentation of the players from Centrals and Glenelg.

5AA were broadcasting live under the canopy and Sid was spotted in his chair by Stud and Russel Ebert who gave him a special mention on air.
