Interesting choice of venue. From the enormous Campbelltown ground last year to the smallest one this year - but as long as the playing surface is up to standard it'd be a good choice.

Very interesting choice. Been there plenty of times but never ever considered it as an Aussie Rules venue for some reason.

It's a big oval but mainly used for league in winter ( by Newtown and Roosters Jersey Flegg) and junior soccer in summer.

It has a very big and old concrete grandstand that gives you a great view of the action and more than halfway round the ground is the hill section with some benches immediately behind the fences too.

It has enormous floodlights which could be used for night finals!

The Showgrounds are now Fox Studios and the Oval is gone.I remember going to a grand final there many years ago and there was a huge crowd.There were bookies in the grandstand.

Obviously that was pre swans before there introduction rooted the SFL.
