It's time for Mr Hook and his side kicks to get back to reality and change the grand final venue.
The season hasnt even started but I cant stand the thought of out competition being embarrassed again by staging the grand final at Etihad Stadium.
The VFL only need to consider 2 things.
1. Will we get more than 15,000 people? If the answer is No, then the grand final should be at Teac Oval.
2. If we can get over 15,000 the grand final should be at Visy Park which now has a max capacity of 25,000.
Both these suburban grounds have a great atmosphere and no matter where you view the game from you are very close to the action.
Etihad stadium is far too big and without 45,000 it has no atmosphere. None!!!! Just empty seats and the echo of a few kids banging on the fences. And lets be honest the VFL are not going to do any promotion or advertising to entice a big crowd.
**Keep in mind a VFL/VFA Grand final crowd has not exceeded 15,000 since the early 90's. What will change this year???
