I received an email a few months ago about which Oval had the biggest Goal Posts.
Lidcombe Oval or Guildford Oval
Unfortunately I have misplaced (lost) that email so if the gentleman who sent it would like to get in touch again that would be great.
Above is a picture of a misplaced (lost) email.
After much research I have found written proof that
Liddy Oval wins the title of Biggest (highest) goal posts in the known World.
Just look at the size of that crane.....
This story was part of a match program from 1971.
Wests Sydney vs Wests Newcastle.
John Raper was Capt/Coach of Wests Newcastle.
A very sad day at Lidcombe Oval.
These photos were taken in 2008.
This story appeared in the Sydney Morning Hearld June 1961
Reading between the lines.....
Lidcombe Oval goal posts are 70 feet high.....
Guildford Oval......60 feet high.....
New info discovered.
A new story about the Guildford Goal Posts.
Looks like Guildford Oval wins.
Note: If you have any photos of Lidcombe Oval or Guildford Oval please send them to me and I will add them to this story. Thank you.
