German Black Eagles squad named for test vs France

I know its not strictly on subject but does relate to German Footy. I just read the announcement on the Berlin Crocodiles website regarding the approval and funding for them to build their own Oval and Clubroom/ChangeRoom/Gym etc. on the old Templehof airfield.

If it all does go ahead, is this a World First as far as 'owning' an oval etc. is concerned?

Any other clubs/Leagues outside Australia that 'own' their own ground and 'clubroom'???

Hi Cam,

I'm sorry to say mate that the story I posted on the Crocs website was an April fools joke.. Apologies for the ruse.. having said that, i often wonder what it would take to get a dedicated AFL field with proper facilities.. and which country will be first to have the vision to make this happen.

G'day Dee

I did twigg that it was most probably a April Fool's joke but only after I had asked the question here and elsewhere. Pity that it wasn't fair dinkum.

Yes, it does beg the question, which international league will be the first to 'own' a dedicated ground/oval? I'm guessing but I suspect Nauru probably does already, if they do I reckon they are probably the only one outside Aussie.

If the number of players is the critical factor then USA and Great Britain would be leaders I guess. Denmark has been a very stable league for some time and is at present apearing to be undergoing a bit of a growth spurt but numbers still too low to afford such a move.

I guess a lease arrangement would be on the cards before actual ownership.

Makes ya ponder!

The clubs in the northern UK have use of this one, but don't think they actually own it:
