NEW AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL STORAGE UNITS ON OVAL

FOSS  talked to Aussie Rules organizers at the site on Saturday ...

• City paid for and installed storage units
• The units' original colour was blue but footballers wanted it painted brown to “fit in with the surroundings”
• The City would not install it at the north end of the oval
• “There will be no bar or washroom inside”
• The units are primarily for storage and to provide a changing area for the women
• They say that they have used and will continue to use a washroom in Humber College
• The City would not allow them to use the Power House for storage, changing or washroom access
• They say they are waiting on a promise from the City to install netting behind the goalposts to stop ball going in to “sensitive areas”
• The cricketers will no longer use the oval – now exclusively for the footballers
• The oval is the home of the Etobicoke Kangaroos and also the official home of the Ontario Aussie Rules Football Association
• Local, provincial, inter-provincial and international games will be played on the oval
• They do not anticipate use beyond Friday evenings, Saturdays and the occasional Sunday
• They say they have no plans at this time for a stadium, a bar, snack bar or restaurant
