Home of the Hampton Rovers Football Club since 1963, David Street
Reserve was officially renamed Boss James Reserve in 2002 in memory of the club's
founder. Boss James Reserve boasts some of the best facilities in the VAFA. The
latest major redevelopment at the ground took place over the summer of 2001/02. Work
included tripling the size of the social rooms with great views over the ground,
new men's and ladies toilets, new fully equipped gym connected to the home rooms
as well as renovated and larger away rooms. Other facilities include a fully
licensed bar (renovated in 2007), canteen, large home rooms including newly
renovated shower facilities and a medical room. Boss James Reserve itself is a large
ground with a grass embankment surrounding it. 4 light towers with 2 lights on
each illuminate the ground suitable for training and junior matches. The ground
is serviced by 2 car parks, both of which are sealed and lit. Additional parking
on match days is available on the embankment surrounding the ground, as well as
in the side streets. See the below map for a plan of Boss James Reserve.
