News Alberton Oval Redevelopment

[Nelso]

There’s even less in Lyndoch!

There will be stacks of people staying throughout the Barossa that weekend.

Which is exactly what the Government wants.

Richardson is kidding himself if he thinks there will be Gather round games at Alberton in the future.

 

[Nelso]

Alberton is not far from Semaphore, North Haven. There a few good pubs in the Port too. Sure beats the crap out of Mt Barker. Adelaide is a small city and everything is really quite close by compared to Melbourne or Sydney, so a bit of travel wouldn’t bother interstaters.
Yeah, I can definitely see gather games there.

You are forgetting all those wineries throughout the Adelaide Hills hence the games were played at Mount Barker. It is all about marketing and the Government wants a return on their investment.

North Haven? You have to be kidding.

Don't people remember 2012?

I'm convinced Hinkley's arrival was the harbinger of some Mayan doomsday prophecy.

 

[Duck Farmer]

The whole point of Gather Round is to entice tourists from interstate.

There is not much in close proximity to Alberton that would interest people to go to before or after the game.

Targeted ads in Backseat Dogging Action should see the joint sell out.

The only people the world ended for in 2012 was Port supporters, we just didn't know it at the time.

From our AFL listed players, Boak is at best 23rd in line for a stand being named after him. We can get to him once we have stands named after Josh Mahoney and Toby Thurstans.

Jokes aside I'd find it hard naming anything at Alberton after players from the AFL era none of them really played a significant amount of senior football there. Tredrea, Wanganeen perhaps as they have magpie roots and played a season or two there, imagine naming something after a Francou or a Primus it would just feel weird.

Roger James, Byron Pickett, Darryl Wakelin, Damien Hardwick should be honoured.

Why?

 

[SonOfKek]

Why?

Because it would upset Koch.

We could “honour” the past and present.
Call one stand The Premiership Stand and the other The Stability Stand.

A stable stand but it won't win any awards
