Williamstown at the Whitten Oval

[GVGjr]

With Williamstown playing their games at the Whitten Oval in 2009 due to the redevelopment of Burbank Oval it could be an exciting year for both clubs to really strengthen their commitment to each other.

As a regular Williamstown watcher, I'm looking forward to seeing some games back at the Whitten Oval.

I would love it a little more if they wore the red, white and blue for one game.

Not sure long time Williamstown supporters will share that view.

Whats happening at Burbank? Prime realestate site there. Be great to watch a few games at Whitten Oval.

I did't know that - I will have to make an effort to go down and watch them. Is there a fixture anywhere?

5m redevelopment means that they can't play there in 2009.

I just checked a website and it had Burbank oval still listed for the home games. I might need to check this a bit further.

I'm fairly certain that Williamstown will play their games at the Whitten Oval just for 2009 although I don't think it has been confirmed. Great chance for those keen to see a high standard game getting played at the WO.

So would you "love it" if the Dogs wore the blue & gold for a game as a square off?

so the supposed 1,500 population that was mentioned in another post is incorrect I take it

Why do you think that? This has only happened because of the redevelopment of Burbank Oval and playing some games there is only a short term deal. The venue won't be capable of housing the type of crowd volumes needed to host an NAB cup game like you were proposing.

Why do I think that? Not sure of the fixture however if Willi play Werribee at the Whitten Oval in 2009, they would get pretty close to the 1,500 population don't you think?

But not much more. 1,500 is actually a good figure. Of course the figure could be stretched a bit but not much more because they won't have the amenities.
To host a NAB game as you wanted would require about 10,000 I would have thought.

Willy and Werribee along with the Port game will be huge I can't wait to go home
