There were farcical scenes outside the ground, as some fans missed up to 20-25 mins of the first half. <br /><br />I find it crazy how the FFV allows Bulleen to have a synthetic playing surface rather than natural grass. <br /><br />If Bulleen were interested in investing in their infrastructure, they could have a really nice facility there. I think the grandstand has seen better days.<br /><br />PS - who is David Barro that has the honour of having a stadium named after him? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
