[1] Brockton Oval has been visited by cricket players such as Donald Bradman, Fred Trueman and Geoffrey Boycott.

That year, Edward Stamp—a British businessman in the timber industry—cleared away part of the site in order to build a sawmill.

However, he was forced to abandon his plans after realising the strong currents from the harbour impeded the construction of log booms.

[7] Geoffrey Boycott also played at the grounds in September 1964 and echoed Bradman's sentiments and praise of the Oval.

[8] Most recently the ground hosted two matches in July 2012 when MCC visited Canada.
