NAFC "Football Department Review"

[tipper]

Cheers for the update wedgie. Looks like something might finally be happening with it.

Hopefully some change for the better is implemented soon.

Bit hard to change things for the worse unless we could manage to come 11th.

Well, we could win 0 games. ...

that could happen unless we have recruited a large number of players

Get rid of Greg Edwards pronto!!!

The man is useless

Too one-eyed?

No, one one-eyed.

You clowns are a disgrace making light of that.

North Adelaide Football Club and Prospect cricket club $17.5 million plan to make Prospect Oval ‘heart of sport’

NORTH Adelaide Football Club and Prospect District Cricket Club have come up with a $17.5 million plan to turn Prospect Oval into the “heart of sport for the local community”.

The clubs want to build a new indoor sports centre, function centre and changerooms on the northern side of the oval.

They also want to install better lighting to host twilight matches, slightly shrink the playing field to make it the same size as Adelaide Oval and add 50 carparks.
.
Football club chief executive Greg Edwards and cricket club president Tom Hastwell spoke about their ideas at a Prospect Council workshop last month.

“This is the jewel in the crown as far as Prospect goes – even for the north of Adelaide – and it needs to be a lot better than it is,” Mr Edwards told The City on Monday .

The draft plan – called Heart of Sport for the Local Community – was created by consultants Mott MacDonald, who also managed the Adelaide Oval development.

Prospect Council owns Prospect Oval and leases it to the cricket and football clubs, as well as the Prospect RSL.

The council came up with its own $12 million masterplan for the oval and surrounding areas in 2009 but only $4 million of work was done in 2011.

That included an overhaul of the historic northern grandstand to include a gym and SANFL match-day function space.

The clubs would manage the latest redevelopment, and would benefit from revenue from the function centre and indoor sports centre.

Mr Edwards said the new plan capitalised on the increasing popularity of women’s sport – particularly football and cricket.

“The growth of women’s sport is like a totally new competition – a totally new sport,” he said.

“Over 10 years we’ll need to cater for more members, for more players, more games, more dinners, more awards nights, so for the tenants to be able to cope with that we need better facilities.”

Mr Hastwell said the project would help boost trade at nearby businesses

The clubs would like some money from the council, but for now they are focused on getting funding pledges from the State Government and Opposition ahead of the election in March.

The council has an unfunded $14 million plan for Broadview Oval.

Mayor David O’Loughlin said that project was a higher priority for the council because of the poor condition of the Broadview tennis and football clubrooms.

However, he said the council was “happy to consider” endorsing the clubs’ Prospect Oval proposal to help them secure state funding.

“We’ve made it quite clear our capacity for funding is limited,” Mr O’Loughlin said.

Broadview Oval plan has been in vogue since I was involved over there and nothing really done, suggest same will happen at Prospect Oval, Council more intent in sticking up ridiculous monuments on the roundabouts and in trees in the area

These Master Plans are great but if they're too grand and expensive they just don't see the light of day in Adelaide. Usually if anything happens it is around the 4-7 mill mark like Prospect, Cambelltown, proposed Norwood and Unley Oval plans.

[Wedgie]

They never happen. Nothing to do with the footy review though.

There's a Football Dept at the NAFC?

No, but there is many people involved in poker machine development.

Well, yeah, sorta...unfortunately we got it wrong by modelling it on the Kevin Higgins (who?) and Stephen Trigg (yep, him) years at Sturt.

Agreed, didn't feel the need to start a new thread for it though.

Well there's your first mistake, don't follow our model....No one nailed ineptitude like the blues of the early 90's

You do seem to be slow learners though, i thought you'd already tried our 90's model with the McDermott era and then again with the Healy years?

My second mistake was to say we'd modelled ourselves on Sturt...of course it's quite clear we haven't. We've got seven more consecutive spoons to win to say we've copied Sturt's plan for success from the nineties in any way. I did hear a whisper we plan to recruit Wayne Johnston, though.

Kevin Higgins

The Professor!

Wayne Johnston

The Dominator!

Perhaps the secret to emulating Sturt's mediocrity of the nineties is to recruit people with grandiose nicknames?

I wonder if the process could be cut short by simply ascribing exaggerated nicknames to the current coaching and playing staff...

You also need to go broke on multiple occasions and that seems unlikely... maybe you should find another club to follow? Glenelg or South?
