Women's Big Bash games were at Glenelg in late December. They play in Queensland this weekend and that is the last round, so not sure what you were looking at.

Spot on TC. Upon re inspection of the calendar I had put the Dec 26th game into Jan 26th. Filled it in at the start of holidays so I was probably on a...........BathyBender

Damaged Grandstand coming* down

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/messenger ... fe3201bdd9

Got a lump in my throat.

I've spent over a third of my life with the GFC, most of the time under that grandstand.

Can still remember the first time I walked in those rooms as a kid in April 1980 when my cousin, then an injured player, took me in to meet the players and get autographs after we beat Centrals. 10 000 + at the game and in the clubs rooms afterwards you couldn't move. I've still got some of those.

The early days getting players ready for training and seeing my boyhood hero walk in - Cornesy as coach wanting to know who's fit and who's not - will forever be etched in my memory.

Sleeping on the training benches after GF commiserations *sigh*

End of season piss-ups

Fitness sessions and sweat I've lost.

Most of all I'll remember the people especially those no longer with us: Bert Cugley, Simmo, Chas Flook, Freddy, Ol' Doc Duguid.

Grandstands can be rebuilt, the legends of those rooms can't but they'll never be forgotten.

Love my club

I wonder what the plan is regarding getting permanent change rooms for the players to use.

If you have a look under where the function centre is, where cars were parked (close to the school boundary on the southern side of the oval), there has been construction there for about a week, I'd suggest work is already underway to move the change rooms there.

Really well said and i'd feel exactly the same way if the Stands and change rooms came down at Unley.

The mud at Unley stinks... but mixed with the carpet and liniment in the home rooms at Unley is my favourite smell of all time.

Feel for the Bays supporters, the ground will never look or feel the same way again

Sadly you dont need a grandstand to cater for 1-2k crowds.

Unless they are playing the Cows ressies with the male TEX WANKER playing

Great post AM.

Can't believe you didn't mention the countless hours of urine testing or some of your best work done with a headset on in a fairly amazing Premiership winning season.

Not much of that was my doing @wristwatcher, players win premierships!

Bung and Tyson had a fair say too!
