Oak Park Football Club – dreams on offer
J.P Fawkner Reserve spreads itself out at the bottom of Francis Street. Home for two football grounds and a tennis centre, the reserve is bordered by Moonee Ponds Creek and the steep streets of Oak Park.
Oak Park - dreams on offer
The suburb of Oak Park sits on land acquired by John Pascoe Fawkner in 1839. Fawkner was born in England in 1792. He came to Australia aged 10 with his convict father, eventually settling in Tasmania where he found trouble as a convict sympathiser.
Unreasonable demands
No loss is tolerable. We hate losing with sorrow and anger. It is unreasonable to expect football fans to behave otherwise. Losses, no matter if they’re described as honourable, losses we need to have or upsets, are never needed.
Losing to the bottom side ranks as the worst kind of loss.
