[6] Since the 2009 VFL season, Sandringham has had a reserves affiliation with Australian Football League (AFL) club St Kilda.
[8] The proposal failed after a meeting of club representatives on 17 February 1927 despite Sandringham Amateurs "unreservedly" favouring the concept, wih Black Rock unable to field a team, Hampton opposing the merger on the grounds of losing local identity and Sandringham District wanting at least three clubs involved.
[41] The oval has a single grandstand (the Neil Bencraft Grandstand), a south end named after Nick Sautner (the Sautner Goal), and an administration centre (the John Mennie Administration Centre)[42] – a social club and a capacity of 10,000.
A record crowd of 18,000 attended the venue's first Sunday VFA premiership game, held between Sandringham and Port Melbourne Football Club in April 1964.
The Zebras have an alignment agreement with Australian Football League (AFL) club St Kilda which has been in place since 2009.
[45] St Kilda announced in December 2013 that the alignment would be continued until the end of the 2015 VFL season, with a plan for both clubs would go their separate ways in 2016.
[46][47] This led to Sandringham establishing a partnership with Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) club Hampton Rovers.
