SA Footy

coming home from work last week & again today south are training on wigley reserve at glenelg (next to the buffalo or for my vintage next to lennies) i didn't think they played cricket at noarlunga so i'm curious as to why there & not at home or at a venue closer to the club ?

Another Merger !

Closer to a decent pub.
Probably closer to where most of the players live, surely with the money South fork out Noarlunga would be the 2nd last place they'd live.

Media Release – 20th February 2006
Panthers sneak behind enemy lines, again The South Adelaide Football Club will tonight head into the heart of enemy territory and train in Glenelg.

As part of a varied pre-season schedule thus far, senior coach Robert Pyman will tonight put his charges through their paces in the confined spaces of Wigley reserve in preparation for the upcoming season.

Tonight’s session will again see the entire senior squad train again at an alternate venue, an approach that Pyman say’s the players have really enjoyed since training began in November.

“We’ve tried to vary our training venues a fair bit this pre-season”. Pyman said. “So far we have trained at Thebarton Oval, Port Noarlunga Surf Life Saving Club, Bonython Park and Encounter Bay and now at Wigley Reserve. The players have really embraced the concept of alternate training venues. Whilst we still train at home three times a week, being able to get away and mix things up has been fantastic. You play half your season away from the familiarity of your home ground so to have the players out of their comfort zone this early in the season keeps them mentally fresh and can only benefit them in the long run, especially our young players.”

With season 2006 fast approaching the Panther’s will continue to prepare for battle over the next few weeks. A two-day camp and the trial game period are now all that stands between now and the season proper.

All media are invited to attend tonight’s training session at Wigley reserve from 6:00pm. The session is expected to last 45 minutes. Robert Pyman and all senior players will be available to the media at the conclusion of training.

They want to be us!!! But why wouldnt you want to be down Adelaide premier beachside suburb?

Some clubs train somewhere different nearly every week!!!

Official Media release South Adelaide Football Club (allegedly)

To Joe Public,

We would like to reaffirm our commitment to the up coming SANFL season.

As a club we are committed to ensuring our best performances are put on the park.However,this will only take place until round 10 when we will fall into a blithering heap and finish somewhere below 7th.

We hope our faithful fan will stick with us through the following months,looking forward to 2007.

Thankyou

You'd be suprised at how many media releases there are from all clubs as like a few others on here I receive them.

I certainly don't post them all on here, just the one's I think are worth discussing or apply to a topic.

Personally I'd rather the clubs have too many releases with even trivial info on them than not release enough.
The more the better IMHO.
Certainly not a reason to chastise a club.

Spot on Wedgie,plenty of other reasons to chastise South.
