Tsk tsk, also racist, they're all Anglo names - no Jai'breon Stadium, Ronelle Oval, Lebron Park... !

Frank's middle name is Luciano and on weekends Basil is Michelle😛

How are you tracking out in the middle of cane toad country these days?

So, number 4 is Cumberland Oval before the Eels fans burned it down.My understanding is that they set alight wooden spoons to get the fire started.

Just fine. Running the work footy tipping and make sure I include a little Manly awesomeness trivia to educate the two-headed ones. The koalas, roos and possums are all well too.

Haha good to hear. Important to spread the word far and wide.
I am currently working on Panther territory (previously Knights) and walk around fearlessly with Sea Eagles beanie or umbrella or tie - amazing how many Manly fans are out here!

So we now have 1-4 after @Woodsie correctly identified #2 as the Sports Ground which also doubled as a dirt track speedway until 1955.

1 - Kogarah Oval
2 - Sydney Sports Ground
3 - Orana park
4 - Cumberland Oval

What ground is picture #5?

I sent the pic to my mother (ex-pom), she reckons its Springfield park in Wigan.

Oh, this one?

Yep, you got it. That's Central Park in the 1940's.

Next 5!!!!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Ok, a couple of these should be simple.......I'll give little hints for each.

#1 - Do you really need a hint for this?

#2 - Head slightly north and Bradman's test average was 192

#3 - Close to home, but who's home?

#4 The Kangaroos last non-test loss in England was here.

#5 - A Reilly good home ground

 

[Bearfax]

No 3 looks a little like Manly Oval but its not.

 

[The Who]

5. Castleford?

 

[Harvies elbow]

1 yes I need a hint and 2 looks like carlaw park but doesn't fit the description.
No idea the rest.
