Report
One of the best football families in the country. Many victory celebrations at this venue. Recently upgraded Bar overlooking the Oval. Personally I've experienced sharing the biggest prize in SANFL football with the players, fellow members and supporters on 8 occasions in my lifetime 1975, 1978, 1982, 1984, 1997, 2012, 2013, 2014. Before my existence there have been 22 other seasons the people of the NFC have enjoyed the ultimate prize The Stanley H Lewis Trophy

Disappointed that no notice was given to members that they can not bring cans of drink into the Norwood stadium anymore and the to find out that they sell cans of alcohol in side the stadium is absolutely disgusting they should be ashamed of themselves

I've been a proud supporter of the Norwood Football Club back when my grandfather Byrne was a Senior Committee Member of the Club in the 80's and I'd watch my Uncle Cole play.

Was a first time attendee to the stadium and watching Australian football was also a first.
Had a great time and would happily attend more games or events here.
