Some of the banter coming from that East's grandstand makes the Glue Factory and Butchery sound like Sunday service.

For overall i like Easts. Atmosphere is great at Easts. Spectators are right in your face and whenever away team has a lineout right infront of the grades they always give it to them. Pretty good watching too if you're in the higher seats.
Turf wise i'd say UQ but like someone said its maintained fulltime. Bit far back from the action.
GPS second. Very fast track shame it faces the sun and the seating is a bit far back and not on great enough slant to provide good watching.
And on the other scale i'd rate souths as the most unfriendly ground to watch rugby.

Begs the question, who did the design layout and consulting? Built by the big gun builder in town. You'd expect a much better outcome.
They are restricted by the trees onsite which are heritage listed.

Fair enough. But maybe a little less clubhouse might have been more prudent? Just casting my mind back through hazy memory, but there used to be 2 fields there I think. The new field was re-orientated, I'm surprised they couldn't still find enough room for a decent sized and equally impressive club house and a better outcome for the field.
In any case I guess they just have to find the best solution for what they have now.
It's a better predicament to be in than Souths who have no recourse to change anything.

Yeah, only ever one field up the top. Field had a different orientation and the clubhouse was in a different position.
One of the other issues they had getting the development through was car parking. Extra car parks go hand in hand with development approvals and the main reason why the clubhouse is so tight with the field. The old clubhouse was at the far end of what now is a car park.

Bang on - just the one always restricted by southern fig trees. They’ve done a cracking job just the grass - suns suffice groundsman in question

Bond at home to shade Brothers and keep them out of the 4. I hope!
UQ’s last dance v Wests - how strong is that Bulldogs team? Wests by 9+
Souths should look after GPS but both teams missing key players. GPS by 3
Easts will dust Norths but in second gear

Very keen to hear frank and honest ratings of hamburgers around the various grounds. Sorry Wests definitely the worst ( expensive & minimal) Souths or GPS probably the best ?
