On SENs VFL show tonight, Mark Stone floated the idea of a Regional Round, similar to concept District Cricket have used succesfully for some years.
The comments came about after the successful experiment of Werribee playing out at Reid Oval Warrnambool.
Would you follow your club to a rural game?
Where area in country Victoria should your club play?
Bendigo Bombers can play in Mildura
If Shepley Oval was up to VFL standard then there would be many grounds in regional Victoria that would be suitable...
However as already stated, we have Bendigo, Ballarat,Geelong and Tasmania on the fixtures...throw in Cranbourne now...it's sort of regional
I'll follow Sandy anywhere they play..
If the AFL can use several country grounds for practice matches they would be more than suitable for VFL matches.
The VCFL could also maybe have an inter league match as a curtain raiser.
I will send an email to Gannon and co and see what they reckon.
Have you received an e-mail back from Gannon or anyone at FV yet, VFA?
Looking forward to see what sort of response you got.
