Had a crack but thanks to a incompetent board we just don’t have the cattle. Too many D graders getting regular games

It was built in World War 2, most SANFL grounds had them.
It commemorates those who served in the war and there are regular tours of it.
The cheer squad used to store all their gear in there, it could tell some stories!

Could say the same about Glenelg's bomb shelter.

Thebby has one too, I reckon it's home to a magician club now.

I do have to wonder, back in the day, how useful would these shelters have been? I don't see a crowd of several thousand filing from the outer in an orderly fashion and comfortably filling those shelters.
