What are the best Football Stadiums in Australia for a national second division?

With a bit of renovation, Marconi would be great

or else there is also Lambert Park (APIA). Lily Homes Stadium (Blacktown), Belmore (Olympic) and of course WIN stadium (Wolves)

Dolphin Oval, 

Most the stadiums used in the QLD Cup (RL comp) would be great. The stadiums on the Sunshine Coast, Redcliffe & Mackay would be the standouts. Others like Ipswich, Rockhampton and Cairns have plans to upgrade but are waiting on funding.
Perry Park and Langlands Park would both be great locations if they got some upgrades.

Kogarah is a fantastic second division stadium. Plenty of hill mixed with good quality seating areas. Super easy to access by public transport 

I love Sydney United's ground. There's still a hill behind one goal and maybe around half one side.

A crowd of anything over 6k there looks great. 

As mentioned above, Marconi stadium is also great, however it looked even better in NSL days now that one full side has been ripped down and replaced by a hill. 

Sth Melb ground is pretty good except for the running track around it. Deff the standard for A2 clubs.

Melb Knights, South Melb and Heidelberg have the bases covered for Victoria.

We all slag the fuck out of stadiums that aren't suitable for football, myself included. Then you have people putting South Melbourne's stadium as one of the top stadiums for second division. I just don't get it. 

Haven’t been there, but the 5000 seater in Adelaide sometimes used for W League games looks nice on telly at least 

If it's the stadium I'm thinking of it is Marden Sports Complex and if so I totally agree. It is perfect for the second division in my opinion, however at 6k capacity I think it falls short of the minimum requirement from FFA which I believe was 10k.

LOL

Something something at-mos-fear and "looks good on telly"...

AFL rivals and a tenth filled Suncorp definitely doesn't. 

Sorry champ. Try harder or at least get your other multi to shout louder so you dont feel so lonely in your echo-chamber.

And that would make South Melbourne's stadium one of the top stadiums for second division how?

this so much. I get that its a home ground and all for SMFC but it looks like a pretty shit place to watch football.

Having been to games there both before and after the reconstruction, the trade off in getting new modern facilities makes it pretty even despite the running track. Any games with a big enough crowd demand for people to want to be behind the goals would probably be at AAMI Park anyway.

Lakeside Stadium is weird. It might have a running track these days but like the old Olympic Park, it is still miles better viewing than any AFL oval. Essentially it's good enough for football whilst not being great.

Why does football always have to settle for this !!! 

Because Eddie McGuire wanted Collingwood to have the Olympic Park site for their training ground.

Suncorp Stadium

Because 8,000 spectators sitting/standing in either grandstand have a great view? 

The distance between the pitch and stands are miles further away at marvel, kardinia park etc. In fact the view hasnt changed that much from the grandstands pre redevolpment. The issue is behind the goals but thats not going to be a problem unless the crowd exceeds about 8,000. 

Olympic Park was also great from the 2 main stands.

I may be totally wrong on this but didn't Lakeside Stadium used to have smaller stands behind the goals? I reckon bringing those back would go a long ways to making the stadium feel more enclosed.

Open terrace to start with, they installed those crappy wooden seats from waverley park a few years later. Post nsl before redevolpment everyone was choosing to sit in the main stand..winter football made sure of that.

The view might be great, the obvious problem is the distance from the sides. As for the ends that's another bigger problem considering how far away from the action they are. 

All I'm saying is that Lakside stadium simply shouldn't be considered as one of the top football stadiums in a second division competition. 

Surely as a football lover yourself you can put your bias views to the side and admit that your stadium shouldn't be considered one of the best for football. 

I can't believe anyone would seriously defend this shit stadium.
