[edit] The Ground
The Preston City Oval is an Australian rules football stadium in Cramer Street in Preston, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne. It has a main grandstand and the ground is capable of holding around 5,000 spectators.
The ground is the traditional home of the Preston Football Club in the Victorian Football League, and remains one of its two primary home grounds in the club's current incarnation as the Northern Blues. It is also the home of the Northern Knights TAC Cup side and the Preston Bullants Junior Football Club. It was also the venue for the Victorian Women's Football League Grand Final in 2007, where a new VWFL crowd record was set.
In summer the ground is used by the Preston Cricket Club, who play in the VSDCA as their home ground. The PCC uses the ground for their 1st and 2nd XI as well as the Under 15 RM Hatch Team.
[edit] Redevelopment
In the summer of 2009/10 the ground was redeveloped. Drought tolerant cooch grass has been in the summer so that the ground was ready for football season.
