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.

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.

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.

The Francou-James Not-The-Same-Club Pie & Pasty Van set up in the car park.

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

Why?

 

[SonOfKek]

Why?

Because it would upset Koch.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Id be happy with The CatDog player race .. Kenny would be too ..

And we can name the toilets the Boak Shank Wank Tanks

 

[wannabejack]

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

The Ken Hinkley Family Stand

Then the ****er crashes under pressure

A stable stand but it won't win any awards

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

The Ebert's Cahill's Williams's and the Hinkleys port royalty

 

[RossFC]

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

We already have the Darryl Wakelin Pharmacy at Alberton.

Really excited by the final planned upgrades to AO. This will now leave the club with the thorny question of naming at least two new structures. Firstly the ladies upgrade will be part of the MG High Performance Centre (or Allan Scott building), so no need for any name.
The next two are tricky as should we go old Port Adelaide (Magpies) or new Port Adelaide (the Power), so let’s say we go new Port as I think we have covered all of our greats from old Port.
The bowling green stand - The Travis Boak Stand - a captain & our highest game tally player with the eastern terrace stand being (you can now shoot me down) - The Cornes’ Brother Stand.
Just my two cents worth.

That's worth a machine gun

 

[rogerjames]

You have the Williams family stand, maybe the Phillips family stand? After Erin and Greg? Motley has the Race, Williams’ the stand, Quinn the Clubrooms stand, Ebert the Statue, Wanganeen the Stand at AO, FOS the SoO Best player and the Stand at AO also, Evans and Hodges ends?

Cahill, Tredrea, Phillips x2, Boak probably all deserve something in their honour.

Cahill definitely should be honoured with his history of success.

Just getting the debate going…….as I would hope that you would realise that my post was a “little tongue-in-cheek”).
