Is Norwood Imploding?

No one doubts the State Govt's willingness to invest in the Northern suburbs, what's always interested me is how CDFC's self proclaimed symbiotic relationship with the same suburbs manifests itself?

They take a lot out of the community with the amount of poker machines they have and apart from running a footy club I wonder how they actually put back into the community?

Given their appalling home attendances through a sustained period of success it appears that whatever it is they're doing isn't working.

given Norwood's armchair ride with so many night games-more than anyone else's-it's no wonder Our crowds look down....but that will all change now.

No, this was what you said.

.


And I told you it had been resolved and how it had been resolved.

The simple fact that's not permeating through your murky consciousness is that we don't need the extra carparks until the members facility is built, the new ones at the school you're obsessing about are discretionary ones that provide greater benefit to out coterie groups.

Is there another CDFC fan who speaks UKFan's language and who can explain this to him?



If your happy with the Clear Continued stop gap measures for your members topsy. So am I .

Norwood fans the 15 years of happy clapping it's clubs underachievements continue.

Enjoy!!!

The oval has been named after the largest subdivision in South Australian history, so large that is a new suburb of approximately 4,500 new homes PLUS the largest Urban Renewal project in the state's history. Obviously this is FANTASTIC for the community, with more people moving into the area, bringing more infrastructure, which in turn means more jobs. CHA-CHING!!


PS Centurion - let frontfoot answer the questions himself :D



Like centurion said. you are so behind the 8 ball it's funny.
