Bulldogs Trivia

[C.E.Lovett]

Footscray were originally on the Market Reserve in Barkley Street near Geelong Road and wanted to move to the Botanical Gardens Reserve but the cricket club, that had tenure there would not allow it. They previously were granted limited access in 1880 but were not allowed to play football there.

The Botanical Gardens Reserve was also known as the Western Reserve and there are still trees from those gardens present in the vicinity.

When the club joined the VFA in 1886 it amalgamated with the cricket club and played its first match there later in the year.

C.E. Lovett (Charlie) was instrumental in getting the club and the ground secured.

Re Footscray moving to the Western Oval.

Can you please quote your source for this!

As far as I was aware the Footscray Council granted permission to the club to move to the Botanial or Western Reserve in 1879 but it appears as though they didn't move there until 1880 and didn't play a game there until 1886.

The cricket club occupied the small pavilion and the councils orders were no football matches to be played. The ground was unsuitable for football in any case with too many trees and no external fence. All this had to be fixed early 1886 when entering the VFA.

Eppelstun did wear No.46 in his first (and maybe second) season, other than that, No.12 right through until he went to North for a season. Unfortunately did a great job on Robert Flower at Western Oval one day for three quarters, then Flower bobbed up in the last quarter and kick 2 or 3 to win the game .

McGuire or Munster??
