speaking of 5AA, David Penberthy very negative this morning about the Thebarton news, bad location, 'second rate option'. Bemoaned the treatment of the club in relation to the Adelaide Council, Parklands Preservation society, previous Marshall government. Sounded a little entitled it must be said, as if the normal planning rules don't apply to the biggest sporting group in the state.
he and KG will represent a portion of the supported base in near despair at the landing place for the Crows. But in the fullness of time, Thebarton may well be more than adequate for what they need, and all the alternate sites will be forgotton. Probably not a fantastic location in terms of traffic and transport, but it is mainly a training facility and it appears to be a large enough parcel of land.

I've just had a bit of a look at the proposed facility, does indeed look world class.

Thing is, has it been designed for the football program or the football program and the customers? Methinks those who are upset about it know the customers are being left out. No surprise, they've been ignored for 30 years.

How have they been left out? Because they can't drink alcohol?

You have no club. No home. No base. West Lakes is and has always been for the players and admin, what have the fans ever had as their own? As somewhere to celebrate, commiserate?

It's the reason you're a franchise and not a club.

I'm talking about the new facility but appreciate your opportunity to roll out the usual comments

They've put a video up on their socials.

I did hear from a person in local government who has had some dealings with the Crows over hosting AFLW matches in their area that there is a significant funding gap in relation to these plans, which the State Government are being approached over.
Don't know what they have in mind for SANFL, that is clear as mud right now. Would hope their interests are not being overridden.

That'll play out nicely.

Yeah look I share his comments about the parklands preservation society and the council. The PPS has the council by the balls and always will. The crows were on a Hiding to nothing against the council.

However the crows where nowhere near prepared for this and there is no point whinging about it now. Everyone who has ever tried to do anything in the CBD or parklands has had to deal with this and there are ways through this.

The planning simply had to be taken out of the hands of the council and done by the state government, then like AO it becomes how much political capital they are willing to spend on this.

We need more cafes in the area, there's currently only 6 millions down Henley Beach Rd.

PS God, imagine how many "The Barton Ovals" we will get in interstate press now.

Those cafes let anyone in though.
The ‘entitled’ need their own.

My mail is that getting the SANFL to agree to all this is going to be very difficult, Crows getting these plans out there without any agreement with the current long term lease holders is to put some pressure on IMO

[mighty_tiger_79]

will they play AFL reserves matches there?

[Jim05]

By time it’s completed they will be playing in the VFL or AFL reserves comp

No difficulty at all. Usual method will apply.

So turns out there will be licensing at the proposed venue at Thebby.
This won't please people.
