Meanwhile, in world news...
Who said soccer was the world game? World Cup time for Rules, I reckon:
Stefan Becomes a Real Footy Ground - At Last! April 27, 2004
The first official game of Aussie Rules at Stefan Boldklub was between a Danish National team and the visiting North London Lions on September 5, 1992. It's only taken almost 12 years but one of DAFL's oldest hunting grounds comes of age this week with proper (semi-)permanent posts.
They are wooden flagpoles, the goals standing seven metres high and the point posts five metres. They are removeable, much like Farum's original posts were. They will have their baptism next week against Farum. We have also been allowed to extend the ground, unfortunately it can't be made any broader due to trees on one side and drain covers on the other. As such we have settled for 142 metres long and 92 metres wide, which is about 20 metres longer and a couple of metres wider than previously. We have also been trying to fill the worst of the holes on the ground and sow grass, but it seriously needs to be rolled which the local council (kommune) have promised to do, but who knows when...
Can't do much about the goose shit. It appears destined to remain part of the charm of the venue.
I've played on some goat paddocks, but I've never had much of a problem with goose shit.
