Unfair Oval Takeover or Reasonable Request? ♀️
Our soccer-loving friends stood their ground when a private school football team tried to claim the entire public oval for themselves. Despite accusations of being difficult and uncooperative, they remained steadfast in their belief that the public space should be shared. Even when the police were called, they were advised to simply share the oval. ♂️ So, is it fair for a private school to take over public facilities, or were the coaches simply trying to ensure their team had the best practice environment? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this showdown…
