Brookie Oval photo: you be the judge

[The Who]

This is a photo of Brookie taken today (19/2/19) two days after the rugby match. The photo was taken with an ageing I-phone and is not enhanced in any way. To my untrained eye the oval looks in very good condition. I can't understand why the match with the Sharks was transferred, unless it was for nefarious reasons.

It will be interesting to see how much work they (council) have done on it and what it looks like when the soccer boys (Sydney FC) play on it. It will be a big test on its condition especially when the ball needs to roll on a flat and smooth surface.

Are you sure you don't take photos for a real estate company?

 

[Peter C]

I suppose it all depends on how much the surface is shifting,.

 

[The Who]

Na. Not photoshopped. Not for a real estate brochure. I just wanted to see for myself if Brookie is as bad a surface as purported by some sections of the media.
Go see for yourself. The Oval is open to the public.

 

[The '47ers]

Definitely not Photoshopped, it's all natural. Proven by the fact it's the workers. True council worker in the wild photo, one on field bending over doing the work, a couple taking off for smoking on the buggy, one in a ute asleep and another aimlessly staring into a fictional abyss

Gee the hill looks dry, not that it matters.

 

[Simonmyers11]

its not what it appears like on top, rather the underlay. Its always been pretty bad. Needs a complete re haul, complete underlay and top surface regrown. Should really not be open to public during NRL season

How come the Council buggy is on the field yet we don't use a medicab for an injured player on the field due to the 'inaccessible ground' excuse 😎

Why in the world are they painting those Wooden seats white they all need replacing to become plastic fold up seats like the rest of the ground.
Even in this photo it looks like the council is doing the bare minimum in maintance.

It's only the layers of paint that hold the 'heritage' splinters together

Maybe we should all go and piss on it ?

Sacrilege !!

Sacrilege !!

I think you are right @Stuey Davis Socks . I apologize .

I think you are right @Stuey Davis Socks . I apologize .

Leave that for the new Parra Stadium Boz!

 

[OneEyedEagle]

I think the angle of the photo is deceiving but sure looks like the groundkeeper has done some great work.

Every year the Telecrap has diarrhea over the condition of OUR fortress brookie

I can't see why they couldn't have laid new turf during the offseason, that would have done wonders for the condition of the ground.

Still doesn't solve the condition of the stadium, seating and corporate boxes which are all atrocious.

Might go for a walk on the weekend down at Lottoland myself on the weekend

I'll be at that match. I'll let you know but I'm not expecting Wembley put it that way.

I understand Lottoland will soon be re-dubbed Dry Rot Land.
