Hey all,
This is a bit of a new one but as a former GPS player back in '01, as well as a coach from '19-'23 I'd like to rank each main oval. Criteria for my rankings include - Grass Quality, Grandstands, Fertilizer, Canteen Options, Away Seating, Fertilizer Choice, Scoreboards and finally overall ATMOSPHERE.

1st - Give me OLD BOYS - TGS
2nd - Give me ROSS - NC
3rd - Give me..... IGS MAIN OVAL - BRASSALL
4th -Give me TENNYSON - GT
5th- Give me OLD BOYS - TSS
6th - Give me MISKIN - BBC
7th - Give me NO. 1 OVAL - BGS
8th - Give me FURSDEN - BSHS
I'm not sure about the IGS rating and I would move both TSS and BBC in to 3rd and 4th sliding IGS and GT down and i would agree TGS has quality grass and canteen options but I'm not sure if the atmosphere of a full grandstand at Ross can be beaten especially as an away team at TGS has to sit on a grass hill

There is no way you think Brassall is that good. I’d have it down in the bottom 3 with bshs and bgs

Great list. Love the categories used. Had a little chuckle to myself though because IGS being at three means it relies heavily on Grass Quality (which is top notch) and scoreboard because apart from that everything else is below par.
 
Opinions on the forward pack for GT this weekend (according to Rugby Xplorer)

I’m still surprised GT aren’t utilising Charlie Grieves especially in Brisbane Grammar Round. Cousins with the Great Xavier Stiles (GT), and nephew to wallaby great Nick Stiles (GT) footy courses through this kids veins.

Thanks for the opinon,
As i always say, my take is always just an opion. Mabye it was just back in '01 but Brassall used to be one of the most exciting places to play for me. I remember the scent in the air of the post game catering lingering throughout my days there.

How special would a round 9 NC vs BSHS final on ross be fellas? Just the idea gets my heart racing
Would be special but I don't believe BSHS will make it undefeated until then and if it's on Ross would need to bring a few super rugby players to win a big game on Ross, its basically impossible.

Ross oval has to be No.1. Holds thousands and the sound from the grandstand reverberates greatly. IGS main oval would be second from the bottom for me, although the fields are beautiful the crowds are some of the worst, if not the worst in the comp. TSS has a great oval and crowd so i would give them 2nd place. Toowoomba is a nice field again, however the crowd sits too far away from the field, making the atmosphere subpar. BGS is appropriately placed, and i COMPLETELY AGREE with the BSHS pick. No atmosphere and a quite soft and uneven field

Look, we can talk down on BBC for their arrogance or loss to BSHS etc. But we simply can't just overlook them. From the likes of Jack Randall (QLD u16s) or front rower Oscar Donovan, this team is certainly still a strong side.
Thank Harry.
Lot's of not well known great player's on that BBC side could get a few surprises in the next couple of weeks
