Quoting myself here - but my comment was timely, following the news that was announced in the 'Tiser this morning - and that is that 7000 new homes are being built in a satellite town between Virginia and Port Gawler. So you may see new footy clubs developing in that area.
It depends how these new clubs see themselves and their identity - and I could imagine a new large suburb drawing people from the city won't identify itself as an Adelaide Plains type footy club. Will be interesting to watch.
