SA Footy

Found this snippet on Wikipedia,

Formed in 1888 as Medindie, in 1893 the club renamed itself to North Adelaide. It is the fourth oldest club still in operation in the SANFL. Although several other early clubs used the name of "North Adelaide", none of them bore ties to the current club[1].
North Adelaide started playing at Prospect Oval in 1922 and it has remained their home ground ever since.

Which leads to my question of where was the home ground of North Adelaide prior to 1922?

1893-94 : Kensington Oval
1895-98 : Adelaide Oval
1899-01 : Jubilee Oval
1902-03 : Adelaide Oval
1904 : Jubilee Oval (* no teams played on Adelaide Oval due to SACA dispute)
1905-21 : Adelaide Oval

Hi Leaping,
Well who would have thought the SACA would be in dispute with SANFL?
1904 hey, must've been the grandchildren of these dudes in the 70's.
Forgive my ignorance but where is/was Jubilee Oval?

"The Jubilee Oval however was built upon by the university in 1946."

Yes, which is why there is a Bonython Jubilee building on that campus...

I think there used to be a huge pavillion/exhibition hall there which was torn down as well...

Jubilee Oval was located where the Union Building is today...

Here is a picture of the Exhibition Building that was torn down in 1962...

Some pictures of Jubilee Oval, albeit not very enlightening...

Bonython Jubilee is not an Adelaide Uni building its UniSA, and was part of the school of mines/tech college. I'm led to believe that Jubilee Oval was behind this building and now has the Engineering faculty of Adelaide Uni located on it and a reasonably newish building for cancer research which the name escapes me atm. Streching from Frome rd to where the Adelaide Uni library is which looking at the size of this section could easily accommodate a playing field.

Nice Work!

1904 SACA dispute, funny how some things seem to come around again and again!

I think that South might also have played at Kensington Oval at some stage also.
