Lake Oval edit

About your change from Lake Oval to Bob Jane Stadium, sorry for reverting the edit without actually checking your source. I don't actually have a copy of AFL 2002, however I do have 2004, '05, '07 and '09. In the AFL Record Season Guide 2009, pages 707 and 708 state the ground as Lake Oval, with South Melbourne in brackets to indicate the location of the ground. The fact that there is no way that it was called Bob Jane Stadium in 1897, and also reading the article Bob Jane Stadium is actually another new stadium built on the site of the old Lake Oval, I think my revert has a point. Feel free to reply. Gibbsyspin 03:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Would have been quite an accomplisment for Bob Jane to have a stadium in 1897 named after him when he wasn't born until 1929. Jevansen (talk) 05:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
