Reading some of the comments was quite nostalgic. I spent many happy years at St Georges and by all accounts so did my husband. Although we did not know each other then. He was a Grey boy and I was a Holy Rosary girl. He went on to play rugby for Blues I think. But one way or another we spent many happy hours at St Georges park. I also know that his mom played cricket, and tennis there, and I took my babies there. Such a great tragedy that it is no longer safe to just stroll through the park. |

Surely non smokers can have the choice of all the stands and smokers can sit on the grass areas. The grass areas are in the open air so should not annoy non smokers. When we come to cricket we also want to see the game, not have to go outside to smoke. Even pubs and restaurants have smoking areas. My friends and I have not been to the last few games because of this. Many other locals I have met in the pubs agree they do not go now either. We watch on tv at home. Surely if you want the stadium to be full every game you will try to make everyone happy. | Editor's Reply : Take it up with Parliament if you don't like the laws of the land. I for one am relieved there is no smoking. It is a filthy habit. |

As a Grey Boy I worked the change rooms for all EP Home games and later as a High School Boy I worked the Scoreboard. I was there seated in the meembers stand on March 6, 1982 when that picture was taken that you showed and it just brought back so many memories. I had the priviledge of playing on the St. Georges pitch in two matches, and also when I was a UPE 1st Reserve Team Member got to train in the indoor nets with the likes of Philip Amm, Dave Callaghan, Adrian Birrel and Kepler Wessels. I was there when EP beat Transvaal in the classic 100th Anniversary Currie Cup Final. Served Dinner at the Banquet to greats like Graham Pollock and John Reid. I remember taking Mike Van Vuuren his Fanta Orange , sitting and talking in the players box with Kenny Watson and Ezra Mosely. I was coached by David Capel and Dave Callaghan, but most importantly St. Georges has a special place in my heart because it was there that my parents met watching a PE City Soccer game in 1968. St. Georges is the best Cricket ground in the world as far as I am concerned and I thank you for this aweome web site that alllows me to share this history with freinds over here who are becomming interested in Cricket. The World Cup has been tremendous to watch and I am praying that South Africa makes it through to the super 6 round as the 3rd team in pool B so that they can play Australia at St. Georges....what a game that will be. | Editor's Reply : This was the first email we received on the website, before the guestbook was started. I have posted it now as it's still interesting. It was sent on 2003/02/21. |

Couldn't get in contact with personal at SGP but my father ran into Simon B, a dear old friend and curator of the SGP cricket museum, who generously took time to show us the cricketing heritage held by SGP. It is both vast and historically significant. Simon has gone an amazing effort to preserve and share SA cricket heritage with the community. It would be great to see a permanent museum space set up, to display more of the significant pieces Simon has in his vast collection, where local and international fans can readily access the collection through tours at the ground or museum opening hours, and share in the long heritage South Africa has in the sport of cricket. |

A brilliant game! Watched many cricket matches there too, including some incredible night games! Also helped install new telephone system and train staff at St G's in early 90's. Have had some great parties at Crusaders... etc etc. Feel as if I grew up with the Park - thanks for all the great memories!Also, a big THANK YOU for helping to get Louis & Andy Milne in touch with Mum & Dad (Hugh & Ann) they posted a request on this guestbook for info - we had a brilliant reunion and now keep in touch regularly.Anyone remembering the Maxwell's from the good old days - we are all doing well, Ian & family still live in PE, Mum, Dad, my daughter Kaley, and myself live near Oxford in England.

But FYI: In the early 70's, as young kids (myself just +- 5), my 4 brothers and I, with my dad used to have the stadium cleaned on Sunday mornings. He worked for Window & Office cleaners then. We enjoyed the outing because we got to keep the money and toys that fell through the spaces in the wooden seats. Lots more to say too little space. | Editor's Reply : Sorry about that. Why don't you write a small piece for us about your experinces that we could include somewhere? |

I am English, she is a PE chick who moved over here years ago. We spend three weeks a year in South Africa. I love the city of Port Elizabeth and have become very fond of St Georges Ground - hence my interest in PECC. I am an aging fast bowler and a member of Surrey County Cricket Club. I enjoy using this web site and am always keen to see how PECC are doing. I will next be in PE the first 3 weeks in February 2006. Sadly I will miss the internationals by then but I'd like to know if PECC are due to play at St George in that time. The last time I was at St George I saw Ashwell Prince Smash Darren Gough over mid wicket for four as SA beat England with 5 balls left in the game. It was a good game - but could have been a different storey if Marcus Trescothick had not dropped Graeme Smith on 20 who went on to get a ton. That night I was one mute English man amoungst thousands of very vocal South Africans. I do wish PECC all the very best for this season and I hope to catch them when I'm over there. Keep up the good work on this web site.PS: fingers crossed The Proteas smash the Aus' |

I have fond memories of Kingsmead in the days past.
Cricket on a hot summers day
with cooler bags full of
Castle Lager!! As the day wore on the piles of empty cans got bigger.
Even if the local "hero" was occasionally "out for a duck"
so what?Happy memories!!!!
I am now interested in "Skinny Dipping" Functions and Camel Trekking.
Cheers all.Hou die blinkant bo!
