So at thebby..

With two ovals - 1 the size of the MCG and one the size of AO - thats a flipping good idea.

A massive indoor training field.

Cafe, clubroom, skate park, museum etc etc..

Pretty central location just out of the city.

Sounds pretty awesome..

If all of those can happen, without the long wait due to the South road works, it's an absolute no brainer.
Hopefully we also push for SANFL games on our new home ground as well as all home AFLW games.
 
Quite impressive.

The only issue is what controls the SANFL has and will they be part of our revenue generation.

Will any liquor licence be in our name ie match day sales.


Facility itself sounds good.

I notice there is nothing about that. I assume they'll do a media round and someone surely will ask the question.

I hope long-term we are part of the VFL and Reserves games are curtain raisers or after AFL games.

I would watch both games, and more efficient for the club.

Also playing against more guys they will play against in the AFL.

It’s right near my house, I like it. If we have full control over the whole site, it will be great for us. We can design it the exact way we want it. Hopefully we can acquire the west Thebarton pub as well and have that because it already has a liquor license

Probably 1.5km walk. Not really. Hardly any location in Adelaide is near the tram line though.
That's pretty close. Used to park further from footy Park than that..
 
No doubt a few buses go closer than the tram.

286/287/288 go from North Terrace to West Thebarton Rd, then down Ashley Street. Probably the closest bus route, considering it's right next door. However, those routes may change with the South Road upgrade.

Agreed. I'd like that as well. But if it doesn't happen, SANFL games at our home venue would be great.

No doubt the SANFL will have their hands out trying to bleed us dry.

All looks impressive, will hold out hope for good news in regards to the SANFL leaving the precinct to us and that the plans still encourage member access rather than being a concrete bunker with a cafe attached like we've had at West Lakes.
 
Seems like a reasonable plan at this stage.
However I'd have preferred the announcement to have included that we have already made all negotiations with the SANFL and the local council. Not a fan of 'this is where we are going, now to do the negotiations'.
You are damned either way . Negotiations for a project this complex is always going to take a long time. The club of old would stay silent officially and we would be living off the rumour mill for the next few years. I personally, prefer the new direction where we are clearly indicating to members our intentions .

I also like that the focus is on improving training facilities and the mcg replica in particular.
