There is absolutely fuck all there, not the easiest place to get there by public transport, not great car parking especially if something else is on at the other fields (and there is the main covid testing centre for the area there) and while it's a nice oval for footy it's not ideal for round ball football. I assume there will be some food of food/drink truck but who knows what. I imagine it will be pretty basic, wouldn't expect much to be honest We could be optimistic and hope they get a couple of funky ethnic food trucks down from Dandenong.

jw1739 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I've been there a few times as it's reasonably close to home, mainly for pre-season matches. Home of Bentleigh Greens, formed 1986 and which has its origins in the Greek Cypriot community. It's not that easy to get to (don't know about buses but Cheltenham Station is a long way away), and parking is fairly limited. Holds about 3,000, mostly standing. Club room is OK but facilities (e.g. toilets) are poor. Friendly atmosphere. It's an interesting change from Casey Fields and raises a few questions in my mind...

fensaddler Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Penny has just dropped. This of course means that Macca will serve his suspension for this game. Interested to see who plays and how we back up after a long break but with players potentially not back after COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
