Good idea to have temporary stands erected out at Napier Park for Sat BUT you wouldnt get them down the 3rd base line as it would block the road - and the rooms would presumably block some vision of the plate if there was a stand down the 1st base line.
There's room for a few of us (2 maybe 3 of us) on the roof of the visitors dugout, ideally it then collapses and has to be rebuilt !!!!
Some word out there that Doncasters Council (Manningham ?) are building a you beaut ground out the back of the quarry over there and that this and Prestons ground would be 'showpiece' grounds although I am not sure if the Council is still on board with this idea with or without other funding in light of the economic downturn issues ??
Go Vic's too by the way - win it in 2 please so that Sunday isnt a complete embarrassment !!!!!

i wonder if the local council know of the plan to charge people to enter a public park?  Local football club's charge people entry to public reserves for finals, why shouldn't a baseball organisation be allowed to do the same? |

Barb, you gotta love those dog delays. Especially on a cold windy day! lol. Other clubs have torn labrums waiting to happen too. First thing id do is deal with the pen. The rest aint that bad. Get a bully down 1st base line, fix the 3rd base one, and Malvern would be hosting a few events like this. I like playing there, if i'm swinging it. It would win the award: Most potential, in my book.

It is unfortunate but Waverley is a bit of a joke spectator wise, great for the nations supporters in their enclosure but nothing for anyone else, good bar, great sh.t stirring, love it but the only ground that should have money spent, serious money, to become a show case in the CBD is MALVERN, it is a no brainer and I'm sure Barb and the clan would make sure the bar and canteen stays at the great standard it currently is.
Dig in the dugouts, seating down left field line and on the hill, just sensational, a real amphitheater feel to it, we can dream I guess!!

local football clubs are premitted to do this and are fenced fo to allow it. Our council has the following clause... "Permission for closing off and restricting access to Council sporting grounds for the purpose of charging spectators to watch sporting matches must be obtained in writing from Council. Consent will only normally be granted for finals or semi final matches." Not that our facilities are good enough to have final's held on them. |
