I never did mind VFL Park.
Plenty of memories going there - mostly good ones.
I always drove to Waverly - took public transport
once. My mates and I had a spot where we'd free park just off Springvale Rd. From there it was about a 20 min walk to and from the ground, but hey - we were young and that never did bother us. A 20 min. walk was much better than 30-60 minutes (crowd size depending) getting out of the carpark.
It was a hassle to get there, but I lived by the Hurstbridge line, so compared with the G, all grounds were a hassle to get to for me.
I think that, right there, was always the main problem with VFL Park: it was not - and never would be - as good a ground to see a footy game at as the MCG. Or PP for that matter! (But only a Carlton supporter would say
that.

)
