random question, they did this in the Gps forum a while back where they ranked all of the home grounds so im keen to hear everyone's thoughts, here is mine
1. Knox Main Oval - basically a stadium, has the best spectator view with the seating and rows with the castle in the background and the trainline running behind it, hard to pass
2. Hordern Oval (Cranbrook) - little can beat a harbour view with so many different spots to watch the game, you have the grandstand where the boys and some parents watch, the concrete wrapping the field, and then a birds eye view from up on the nice fancy building, let alone the great drainage, grass needs some work
3. Barker Main Oval - nice modern grandstand with concrete wrapping the stadium, although minimal seats to watch the game from, can feel quite like an empty bowl when not many there due to the high walls around the ground, good grass
4. Trinity Main (before reonvation) - had good seating at one end of the ground with a nice scoreboard at the other end, can't wait to see what this turns into when the renovation is finished
5. College Oval (Aloys) - probably the best grass in the CAS, the oval looks the nicest and feels the nicest to play on, however there is only one small grandstand with only metal bleachers for the boys to watch, feels a little like a random rectangle in the middle of nowwhere, big ups for the manual scoreboard
6. Queens Park (Wav) - what can I say, a public oval with a terrible grandstand, the grass is poor and can be shut at any moment by the council, however for a big game it can bring that 'death valley feel'
please let me know your own lists
