AA Bailey Reserve
Clarence Gardens, Australia
The name on the fixture card does not match the name on the street sign. At AA Bailey Reserve in Clarence Gardens, the soccer oval is frequently designated as "Lady Burra Stadium" in match programmes and club calendars, though this appears to be a specific naming for the pitch rather than an official title for the entire ground. The venue itself is owned and managed by the City of Mitcham council.
History here is measured by the clubs that have called it home rather than by trophies. Cumberland United FC has played on this ground since at least the 1940s. The schedule is diverse: the oval hosts National Premier Leagues South Australia matches, but it has also seen National Rugby Championship fixtures, including a 2019 clash between Melbourne Rising and NSW Country Eagles.
Questions about the exact year of opening have gone unanswered. Capacity figures remain a matter of debate; lists vary between 1,000 and 3,000, and no single official figure from the council or club reconciles these discrepancies. The nearest record of interest is the 2018 Emerging States Championship final, where the Adelaide Black Falcons claimed the inaugural title.
