not really that sure about south melbourne or junction to see the pies, was a bit young and we just followed the pies every saturday. fitzroy was at the junction at some stage so am pretty sure i went there to see the pies.
can remember Glenferrie in 1970, Peter McKenna got his jumper torn off him and it was an absolute mud bath. hard to tell which team was which.

Waverley Park (1970-1999) = 126 - The carpark....

Great memories...
The waverley car park after sitting in the cold / wet for 3 hrs you then had to endure another 1 without moving.

Lakeside Oval (1897-1980) = 71 - They used to play and televise a reserves game every Sunday for a while... i wasn't at the infamous game when that bloke went mad.

John Bourke. Tripped the player, pushed the umpire and then got stuck into the guy in the crowd.
Slugs commentary... 'I think you gotta take the boy off'

Will have to be a real veteran, like Robroy or Maggie Greg who would have been to Fitzroy Richmond and Glenferrie.

I saw the Pies at Glenferrie Oval, but not at Punt Road or Brunswick Street.

Edit: Hawthorn played at Glenferrie until 1973; Richmond at Punt Road until 1964; and Fitzroy at Brunswick Street until 1966.

That car park (shudder).

I worked on the redevelopment of Waverley Park years ago, when Hawthorn moved there and Mirvac developed the housing estate. Money was being spent on public artwork and one of the suggestions was a car half buried in mud! Not sure if it got up, but footy fans would get the joke.

I’ve been to 11 for Pies games, all in Victoria except for one. Some I remember more than most. And for some reason Moorabbin sticks in my mind (and the mud in the outer might have stuck to my feet).

Returned to quite a few - and to other grounds - in recent years to watch our VFL boys.

Love the old footy grounds (rose coloured glasses?), despite the hard wooden seats, poor sight lines, smelly toilets and yes - the mud.

11 for me too. Never at Victoria Park sadly, but weirdly enough despite living in the eastern suburbs the first game my dad ever took me to was at the Western Oval.
 
Been to 16 of them:

  1. Victoria Park (1897-1999)
  2. MCG (1897-Present)
  3. Waverley Park (1970-1999) = Arctic Park.. Brrrrr
  4. Princes Park (1897-2000) = Magro flattens Jezza.
  5. Marvel Stadium (2000-Present)
  6. Junction Oval (1897-1983) = Kevin Murray.
  7. Windy Hill (1922-1988) = bespectacled Geoff Blethyn, baby bombers.
  8. Western Oval (1925-1994) = K Templeton, Doug Hawkins
  9. Arden Street (1926-1982) = Blight, Greig, Krakouer Bros, Galloping Gasometer..
  10. Football Park (1992-2013) = Adelaide's equivalent of Waverley - cold, lifeless sterile ground
  11. SCG (1903, 1952, 1981-Present) =
  12. Subiaco Oval (1987-2017) = Never saw a Pies game there..
  13. Moorabbin Oval (1965-1991) = MUD!
  14. Stadium Australia (2003-2014) = Pies played well there..
  15. Metricon Stadium (1987-1992; 2011-Present) = 11 (formerly known as Carrara Oval)
  16. Adelaide Oval (2014-Present)

It is still possible for me to see games at Kardinia park, Gabba, Optus and Giants stadiums.. That will make it 20....

Not fair! I didnt count the seconds/reserves/VFA in my 11 grounds - only the seniors (former VFL now AFL).

I demand a recount.:p

Seems you do a lot of bleating about recounts, or is that just my imagination.
PS: You can do your own re-count of your post btw.

More than me, i have literally no memory of this game happening.
Can only guess it wasn't on ch7 and i was sleeping off a hectic night out in Brisbane or Gold Coast.

Article on news.com website today says our game in Tassie will be the 31st ground Collingwood have played at, but doesn't name them.
Like to see if we can name them and anyone been to any of the stranger ones.
Ones I've seen the pies at:
1 Victoria park 2 MCG 3 Etihad 4 Kardinia park 5 VFL park 6 Princes park 7 Windy hill 8 Moorabbin 9 Western oval 10 Arden street 11 Junction oval 12 Cararra/Metricon 13 Gabba
Others:
14 SCG 15 Olympic stadium 16 Canberra 17 Football park 18 Adelaide oval 19 Subiaco 20 Perth stadium 21 WACA 22 Punt road 23 Glenferrie oval 24 Brunswick street 25 Corio oval
Then it gets hard.
North played a season at Coburg or something?
