EB oval is coming along. Sand is down, and next will be the soil.
Soil or turf. FTG ground has been redone and it has been turfed. It’s looking great

Will you be using it at all this year?
No may not even be ready to go at start of cricket season but going to be terrific when it’s done.

All going to plan, the Footy Club gets to use it in the second half of the season. At the moment, all games bar Mulgrave are being played away after the agreement of the opposition clubs. The Mulgrave game will be played at the Box Hill VFL ground. At season's end, the club rooms get pulled down. In the interim, the old club rooms on the north oval are going to be brought up to standard. The Cricket Club will be using them first, followed by the footy club. Now, what the "standard" is will be interesting.
Practice Match News: EB won and lost today. A few more players have signed on, and a few were turned away due to their salary demands.

If soil is not down yet there is no way on earth the ground is being used this season, let alone halfway through the year.
Genuinely hope I’m wrong!

The Vermont oval was finished early/mid Feb and was played on mid April. If the turf is on by mid April, hopefully it should be ready for play by June 21st.

The contamination was cleared ahead of schedule. The sand was put down ahead of schedule. The holdup now is in the lap of the gods with the rain. Like many, once I see the soil being trucked in, I will be a lot happier.

Vermont oval finished early/mid Feb in the warmer months,mid April and all ready the temperatures are a lot lower but hopefully you guys can get on at some stage later in the season.Struggle to understand why you do not use the north oval as I presume you are training on it.

Apparently because the old rooms are going to be renovated, so they are ready for next year when the clubrooms are pulled down and then a new pavilion is built. As for the grass, fingers crossed, anyway I have been doing a lot mowing over the past couple of weeks. Looking forward to the game at Box Hill. But who really knows with Whitehorse. I am convinced they are deliberately either vague, misleading or don't tell you the real situation, so they can't be held accountable.

So when you say clubrooms pulled down you mean the ones on the south oval?Will make it difficult for training if I am correct.Long term when all this is completed will be great for EB and even a future Premier EFNL grand finals ground.As for Box Hill not a great fan of it (to big) but a far better option then what you have now.As they say short term pain for long term gain.

Yes, south oval rooms will be demolished at the end of the season. The renovated rooms on the north oval have to be ready for the start of the cricket season. Training won't be too bad, they may train on the north oval and use the rooms. On match day it will be played on the south oval and move between there and the rooms on the north oval. I loved playing cricket on the Box Hill oval.

Big issue is if there is rain around the time it starts to be played on, it will get ripped to shreds.

Surely if they were able to get on the south oval training would remain on the north oval and even matches other then seniors could play on north oval.
