Do you think some of those kids are at risk of not finding their way through to senior level at Square though based on some of their surnames and the damage that’s been done the last 18 months?
Certainly hope not as there is some ripper kids coming through and I’d hate to see good square families leave.
Always thought the Backhaus oval and surrounds was a better long term option in regard to size, space etc.
The ideal outcome would be to relocate the Golden Square Bowls Club to a new bowls precinct at Bacchus Oval along with parkland / greenspace. Wade Street could then be properly redeveloped.
If Essendon provided the assistance required to get the bowls club to move, then they would have moved. The pure arrogance of the football club to expect the bowls club to fund the move themselves, with minimal financial contribution from the footy club, is what stopped that move.
Lots of factors windy Hill is close to plenty of houses, which would have been in uproar; bowls club and heritage parts of windy Hill made it hard. Far easier to build what they wanted at tulla
The sharp cup will be a sell outSquare President says the big drawing games like Broadford and Sandhurst might need a switch.
Obviously won’t be room to park the one car of Sandhurst fans and I can just picture the road train steaming across from Broadford for that marquee match up.
Sort of makes me understand how the Broadford idea got through.
The bowls and croquet club were both onboard with a move, pending the required support from the footy club - they wouldn’t come to the party. The Hangar is a great set up, the location not so much.
If somehow South get the point reductions that I've heard they're chasing then some serious questions would need to be answered. You'd imagine that any decision couldn't be made locally, although allegedly they were able to bypass the BFNL manager and go straight to Regional manager to plead their case.
Is Lanfranchi confirmed?
That’s just standard these days - more good players leave than join the league.
Based on precedent set a few years ago, South will probably have their points allocation reduced after missing finals, but the finalists will all stay the same.
From what I’m told he signed weeks ago.
There was always more noise from those looking to bleat about this comp than from those involved at Gisborne..
Exactly. I don't recall having any conversation with a Ballarat league follower this season that included the possibility of Gisborne switching, unless I brought it up.
