The best and worst grounds to play footy on

[Jimmy_041]

Felch I had Ivan as a coach at school, we didn't take school footy overly seriously I don't think Ivan liked that.

Haha, i can imagine !!! Ivan was pretty full on. He made one of his sides go for a several km run after a game one day because he thought they played so badly. He always looked highly stressed, used to throw the magnet board often !

We were stuffing around so much one game and losing by about 5 goal he spat it threw the board and said coach yourselves. We picked it up moved everyone where they should have been and won by about 3. He didn't seem to like that either.

I've saw that happen at school as well

IMO the worst ground FITZROY, Best well there is a few but cant go past my home ground sorry

Don't think anyone from BL can complain about small ovals!

I'll be biased and say I love our oval. Kilburn also has a great set-up.

Don't mind Payneham, Campbelltown and Pooraka either. Can't comment on Kenilworth, never played there.

kenilworth is the biggest and windest oval ive played it.. dont like it

Kenilworth is the 2nd biggest ground in SA (Square metres) behind Hamra Homes Oval. Not too windy, keep it low and you will be fine. Just ask the opposition over the past 3 years they seem to do it well

Are you sure???????????it is a rubbish oval though.... Mt Everest..
BL is quite possibly the worst oval in the comp...... that cricket pitch is a shocker

yes we have a small oval but the worst oval i dont think so.. most grounds have a cricket pitch on there oval..

i seriously think you have some thing against BL, to bag us in most threads Ive read..

a turf cricket pitch, not a hard wicket pitch covered with sand. big difference

Both have their pros and cons.

Since when have we ever been a division below Haven HH3 ??? Same div, but never lower.

Woulda been 04 or 05...North Haven were Div 4 and Portland were Div 5.

Portland have never been in Div 5..........Div 4 is the lowest they have been...............unless you count the days when they were Ethelton or Albies United.

IMO turf pitch at the start of the year is terrible, so hard and when it rains its a big giant mud pit.. prefer a hard wicket pitch over a turf one anyday.. everyone is going to be different about there ovals.. he said we have the worst oval in saafl, highly doubt it

[Browny25]

BL is far from the best oval (ugly surroundings, soccer / footy lines everywhere, average visitors changerooms) but it certainly isnt the worst! the actual surface isnt too bad, and goal post are in good condition / height. I hate going to grounds where the goal posts arent straight and are smaller than average...

The middle cricket pitch is standard, most grounds are cricket ovals in summer.

[LaughingKookaburra]

North Pines for me takes the cake. Definatly think theres many worse than Fitzroy.

[unknown source]

Golden Grove have a nice oval havent been there for a couple years but the facilities werent the best though..

[Turbo]

Aldinga is a good oval, as is Noarlunga.

Happy Valley, and Flagstaff Hill are the worst

[Turbo]

BEST: millicent, sth gambier, yankalilla, langhorne creek, noarlunga, robe,

WORST:hamilton, myponga, cove, myponga, kalangadoo, myponga

Cove worst? You been on the receiving end of some beltings?

Hectorville's oval was good on the weekend.. bit slippery on the turf pitch in the middle though
