Looking at Southern Sharks website when i laid my eyes across these magic words......
Return to Gwawley ? for our last season on Gwawley Oval -is this the last time we're forced onto this dingy surface?We played there last year,pulling thick carpet up from the buried cricket pitch that would've caught an ankle.One of our boys came down from a contest a few years back,and because of the rough surface where he landed,he broke one ankle and fracture the other.With East Coast's new ground being built, and work starting on new facilities at Bensons Lane already, is it time the AFL started working with local councils to ensure safe playing fields?In this day and age, no team in whatever grade should have to play on covered cricket pitches,esp with the money being poured into footy in our state.There should be a dedicated footy ground in every region of Sydney-and thats just for a start.The only ones available now would be Kelso and Monarch?Am i right?
