Re: Whitten oval upgrades

Today the lights were erected for the VFL squad and women team night training, hopefully night games will come into the equation.
I believe Score board is next year.
Any other improvements we would like to see.

Taking a long tome just to get this going? I thjopught we had some funding from Vic Government.

That's Hobson's bay mate. God gave us in the west our very own bay in Williamstown.

Whitten oval isn't really affected by the breeze from Willy. I've played footy on both grounds and Willy is by the coldest.

That cool breeze is a godsend for sport in summer - it makes those 40C days bearable playing cricket or baseball at the Fearon or Greenwich reserves.

I think you will find this wasn't a part of it ..this has only become an issue since the VFL team started, I would say we have to apply to the council like all clubs do every year.
We would be paying half I would imagine and that's why the scoreboard plan was culled for the lights but next year I would say scoreboard will be next.

Yes summer time near the bay is slightly better.

Actually this year it seems the weather at whitten oval has been a lot kinder than the rest of the west.
Been driving to games and its raining. Walk into the ground and the sun has popped out.

It's not the sun, it's just Bontempelli arriving for training.
