STURT TO PLAY AT MT BARKER ?

[topsywaldron]

There is a good case for the Modbury football club currently based at the Ridgehaven Oval on Golden Grove rd to be the next team admitted to the SANFL to represent the local area.

If you give us Salisbury,Mt Barker and Morphett Vale as youth zones we might consider it.

[mal]

Still rather drive to Unley then Mount Barker
Im guessing thats most peoples preference as well ????

As MT79 mentioned sides who go bushwalking and give up home ovals
are the ones who are perched closer to bottom then top
WA = BERRI
SA = ENCOUNTER BAY
ST = MT BARKER ????

Never seems to be teams like CD/PA .....

AFL teams who give up home ovals to promote AND PROSPER etc are also sides who struggle
WB = SYDNEY
ML = BRISBANE
KA= GOLD COAST[WAS CANBERRA]
SK= HOBART[IN THE PAST]
HW= HOBART


STURT keep your Unley oval advantage and put a few leaflets in the Mt Barker area
to promote the club and sell a few more chook raffles

the only teams that play footy in the country or sell interstate games are those that are highly unsucessful over the last 20 yrs +

Hawthorn and North Melbourne have been highly unsucessful in the last 20+ years?????........
7 flags and 11 Grand Final appearances between them in the last 23 yearsis HIGHLY UNSUCESSFUL....utter utter garbage

How many of those premeirships and g/final appearances were achieved when they played thier
home games at interstate venues
Cant remember Leigh, Dermie or Dipper playing in Hobart
And the King or the Horse would not have played too often in Canberra if at all

Utter garbage utterly not ...

North Melbourne played one match at Manuka in 1998; and 3 in 2001. They have played 3 each year from then on.
They played 4 home matches at S.C.G in 1999 and 3 in 2000. They had 1 home match there in 2001 and 2002.

What has that got to do with your original statement as quoted????
I cant rememeber any Hawks home game in Hobart either MAL ??? wrong again!

[Dutchy]

The Duck played a few in Canberra, In fact all of the 99 premiership team have played many games there

[mal]

And the demise of the Kangaroo football club coincides with 2 things
Playing more footy in Canberra and increasing thier unnecessary travelling commitments
And eventually playing at Telstra DOOM

Merely defending MT79S logic in that clubs that sacrifice home state games to play home
games at interstate venues end up towards the bottom of the ladder.

YOUR QUOTE
I cant remeber any Hawks home game in Hobart either MAL ??/ wrong again

Look at the 2007 draw if your confused
7 games at the MCG
4 games in Hobart [ are they home games ????]

[redden whites]

BBZZZZZZZZ wrong again ,try Launceston buddy.

[mal]

You win on techicality
We will make it Launceston
Officially Aurora Staduim where they play 4 times in 2007
The place they play 4 times a year
The place they travel and extra 4 times a year
A place that is listed as thier home games
A place they have played at when they are at the bottom half of the premiership ladder
A place thats probably colder than Mt Barker

[johntheclaret]

i'd rather drive to elizabeth for a game than mt. barker because at least i can stop off at globe derby on the way home

Assuming you still have a car for thr return trip or a car with wheels

Demise?

Fair call. Play on

[Sojourner]

If a business like Bunnings decided that they wanted nine metropolitan stores in Adelaide, where would they locate the stores for the best outcome for sales?

Noarlunga, Salisbury and Port Adelaide would get a gig, yet where would the other seven be located? Would they choose the same locations as the other current SANFL grounds? What company similar to Bunnings would load their stores around the perimiter of Adelaide rather than having even distribution? Hardware chains are currently throwing massive amounts of investment into Goolwa, Victor Harbor and Mt Barker. Clearly they wouldent be doing it if they didnt think that those areas contained the best returns for new business. Businesses relocate for that reason, the SANFL needs to give the issue the same consideration.

[smac]

Businesses don't carry public hopes and passions like the SANFL soujourner - and 3 + 7 = 10, not 9 .

If the SANFL were establishing itself now, then your theory would be sound, but I reckon there would be a lot of crumpled tweed around if Sturt were to consider a move, as opposed to the 'camping trip' they currently propose.

[westcoastpanther]

City slickers have to get rid of the toll gate and the salt pans are too far mentality

Will never happen unfortunately...............fishbowls

[doggies4eva]

It will happen eventually -moving to where the population is. One of the sad things about footy is that it will only happen when clubs have no choice - look at Fitzroy and there are one or two Melbourne clubs too many who will eventually be forced to move. A sad indictment of a lack of administative talent in football clubs.
If you think happen to any of the current SANFL clubs (ignoring that WWT was forced to merge) click on the 2005/06 financial results of the clubs (under 2007 SANFL info at the top of the page) and see which clubs are in danger of extinction.

crumpled tweed - gold!
