Anyone else notice the Camberwell City Oval in that mobile phone ad where they're all naked and a clothed streaker runs onto the ground? Just though it was cool to see the ground. Nothing more, nothing less.
Happy new year all, go Stangas 2006!

It's actually called the Camberwell Sports Ground now and Camberwell Magpies play there as well.
Old Scotch in the VAFA use it as a home ground too, but could be wrong.
:D
great to see the old Camberwell oval, many a happy and sad day there in the 60's ,70's. One of the only few VFA grounds with two stands,matter of fact I think the only one other than Port Melb.
go zebs. :)
Speaking of Grandstands at old VFA grounds how would you rate them ?
Port Melbourne- Norm Goss Stand is an old fashioned stand with plenty of noise coming from it.
Williamstown- The Floyd Pavillion is also a beauty.
Coburg- unfortunately was party burnt but still an old gem.
Northcote- still has its 1930s charm
Yarraville- not out of place in the 1950s
Bendigo- great old grandstand but very poor playing surface, especially on wet days.
North Ballarat- average looking but social club inside is first class
Springvale- old looking stand that give Newcomen Road plenty of character
Will add more shortly

Personally, I think it's not too bad.
The Grandstand is fantastice, but when was it "extended"?

It's crap, but does add character to the ground. I wouldn't sit in it unless it was raining heavily. Bloody wooden poles everywhere, plus the TV cameraman standing on that part in the middle which pokes out but happens to be right in the way of everyone trying to watch.
Frankston is a ground where you should get down on the fence, and experience the atmosphere. Or if you are brave stand on the terrace over the other side.
Finally seen the ad with Camberwell Footy Ground, er Sports Ground.
It doesn't move me. It seems much greener than I remember it.
The Team of the Century and Life Members plaque was visible. though.
It is a pity I couldn't read my name on it.
