Richmond Oval is in the perfect location

One "learning" will be public transport, you need mass public transport to the venue.

Plenty of buses to and from the City and Glenelg then also the North/South corridor

Buses? lol

The corridor is 15 years from being finished!

[Brodlach]

I meant it’s on South Road so you can easily go North or South

Nothing wrong with buses, Footy Park used them for decades

Sorry

I recall him trying to argue how good Richmond oval was for public transport when its arguably one of the worst (trust me, I relied on it in the early 90s getting to junior matches as a Glenelg trainer). Richmond Rd the closest bus stop.

The two best grounds for buses are The Parade and Stratarama Stadium (Glenelg Oval) as they are the only two with bus stops right outside the oval,

However next year I dont think they'll change too much and have two games again at Norwood and a match at either the Barossa or at Noarlunga - for the Southern vales.

In 2025 I'd them to give the Glenelg area a crack with games there. The bonus being that a game can be played and then you jump on the tram and get to your seat at Adelaide oval within an hour.

I grabbed a coffee on the Parade this morning and word is at least 1 game at Norwood Oval as the Hawks were very complimentary on the setup and have formally sent a request to the AFL to be fixtured there next year

Surely if it’s about the city as much as the footy then Glenelg oval has to be on the cards for next year.

[Lightning McQueen]

Elizabeth would be the one IMO, big oval, no cricket pitch, good surface, plenty of room in the outer and just upgraded their changerooms - would tick a lot of boxes

If it wasn’t on Goodman Road and it didn’t have a derelict school across the road they would’ve been a real chance IMO.

[Armchair expert]

Memorial Oval Port Pirie is a lock to host a game

That would be the opposite to gathering

Loving the interstate salt over gather round.

I still can't believe that wall hasn't claimed a life.
Late 2000's I saw a Glenelg u18 get pushed into it running flat out.
Heard the crack from Cooper's Hill.
Luckily just a broken arm but how he never fractured his skull is beyond me. (Pure luck)

[Brodlach]

Was covered with padding and advertising wasn’t it?

Not quite. Carlunga has them and a train station.

Exactly, the same way Norwood makes sense because of the parade. Glenelg has just as much if not more going for it, jetty road and the surrounding area, trams and public transport, accomodation you name it. Surface is better than Norwoods, no brick wall to worry about either!

Norwood surface is top notch these days

I’ve being saying to mates the Bay has to come into the equation given its location array of local
Venues, and I hadn’t even factored in the tram. Might depend on what $$ are required for any upgrades required to meet AFL standard. What’s the clubs relationship with Holdfast council like these days?

Yep, need lots of cafes, restaurants, bars nearby. That leaves AO & Norwood as the ideal city/suburb venues. Glenelg a short walk away from all that stuff too.

South has colonnades!!!
