There is nothing wrong with the ground; it is actually almost perfect. It is a result of a stupid decision by the Council to ban ALL football matches until April. The most idiotic deciision I have ever heard.

all MPNFL matches will be starting late this year...as Dolphin said the councils made this decision...I'm told that to make up the time lost due to the late start, they will play on weekends that were previously set aside for things like inter league matches. Wondering if Bendigo's ground has got the ok to play matches there?

Frankston Park is ready now, but the Council is in noddy land. Fram what I hear, Bendigo won't be ready for [b]at least [/b]8 weeks.

Well if that's the case, hopefully the AFL Victoria come out in the next week or two and say this. As it stands they have a number of VFL and TAC Cup matches scheduled at the ground in the next 2 months which would need amending.

Went past Werribees ground on Saturday it looked like it had been top dressed and was sandy and very dry.

I understand that Frankstons next two practice matches have been ground reversed. Will play Port @ Port this weekend, and Bedigo @ Frankston Park on the final wekend

So is Port OK to use? I assume the cricket has finished there and the wicket area isnt like a rock?
