Absolutely 100% in agreeance with you. North Hobart Oval has something about it, that Bellerive lacks - Soul.mightymagpie1999 said:i think the worst was the decision to take VFL football away from North Hobart Oval. Sure bellerive Oval may have better facilities for footy however North Hobart oval had that great feel about it when you used to turn up on a saturday with the sunshining the old grandstands in the backround and the memories from old games gone by.It was a traditional home and it meant somthing to Tasmania unlike bellerive.
They've spent a fortune on Bellerive, it's a very smart looking corporate ground, but it just lacks something.
I've watched about three games of footy at the ground since all the new stands and pavilions were built and it's like being in a prison.
I think the team would win a lot more on North Hobart than Bellerive, facilities are light years better at Bellerive yes, but it isn't really needed for VFL footy.
Imagine the atmosphere of 12,000+ at North Hobart, hell I'd even go and have look, just to rekindle memories of the past when I'd stand amongst huge crowds there.
Shame to see North Hobart underutilised.
