I only live 5 min from old Waverley ground, that's the stupid thing for as well as Melb has infrastructure there were no train to and from the ground just buses..
Bun fight going on now, developer promised all land owners the powerlines would be put under ground within I think 10 years Been 10 years and now they relize how much it's going to cost em, trying to back out from the committment.It was a great ground before they tore down part of the stands and put in apartments. Made an arseload of money though
Went to a game there back in the day and got pissed on by filth supporters.Victoria Park in Collingwood/Abbotsford is still a nice ground. Has its own train station and everything.
When I lived in Melbourne, the suburban grounds were starting to be dismantled.
If you have the MCG as your home ground, you're doing great. If you get Ethihad, you're being ripped off.
AFL jumped the gun a bit, now they're talking about Eddie McGuire Stadium, uprading Punt Road, or turning Carltons spiritual home into a boutique stadium.
They should have kept Waverly us a fully functioning stadium.

There is an online petition with almost 1800 sigs on it already.
For those who are interested in it.

it's way of fans making their point, as a fan it makes me feel good that I've had my say
Hopefully they take notice.
As a season ticket holder, I have paid for 12 home games at Southern Cross Stadium
If they shift games am I going to get a refund on those game ? or free tickets to the bigger ground (with transport and parking)
There would be a few questions from members etc that would have to be answered if they go through with it.
Reading a statement from LG sounds like he'll fight it for this year anyway.
Hoping the right decision is made
