It was a great game, and Leichhardt Oval was once a great ground to watch footy. With a fantastic crowd of close on 23k people the stage was set for a great atmosphere. It didn't end up like that unfortunately. The ground is incapable in its current state to accomodate a crowd of that size.
- there is only 2 toilets for all the corporate boxes to share. And I mean toilet bowls, not toilet blocks.
- the toilet blocks for general admission are too small to cope with the numbers.
- the seating or lack of it is also a concern. Like most I was forced to find a small patch of grass on the hill. We were quickly told to sit down. Problem was when you were sitting you couldn't see anything. When you stood to see a line break or a John Sutton high shot you were again shouted to sit down.
The ground is good for three game per season - that's it. It needs a massive overhaul.
Why the hell would they ever want to move games to Telstra Stadium?
