Opinion New AFC HQ (Part 2): Family picnics on hiatus

[glengowan]

I'd imagine the SANFL will develop it for their state junior programs.

I believe the SANFL are developing the other side of the ground where they still own the facility that were behind the western grandstands. That, the oval and the Crows facility the only thing left.

I presume the Crows facility will be sold for more development?

Correct and most very likely.
Rowey did mention also on Friday that Commercial and Gerneral, who are doing the WEST Football Park development, will be building our new facility.

After an open, transparent and thorough tender process I assume...

Given the SA Government, the football club & even the SANFL all would want the good publicity/protection from criticism choosing a SA construction company provides (creates SA jobs line can be rolled out) and given the scale of both projects it would’ve limited who else could have built it.

Nice of Kristof to get involved to try and find a post to have a crack at you. If only he’d go to the same effort and post his before and after opinions

watch out, he might tell you to **** off and get away with it

$100m seems like a fair spend.

If they take on some of the work themselves they could save heaps of money and hopefully be in by Christmas.

Make it a reality show and get Scotty Cam to host. Get channel 9 to pay for it.

Combine it with preseason, like those old camps at Rapid Bay carrying posts and stuff around

correct me if i am wrong. Are the old Thebby grand stands staying or going? it looks like they are gone in the artist impression on the social media release

 

[JPetro83]

The oval being realigned so goals face North-South?

Staying but being upgraded I think.

The stands were originally going to go but when the facility got moved to the outer side of the ground, the stands are now staying.

I think its great the stands are staying, its a nice oval and we should be looking to preserve it as best we can.

thank god this part of the journey is over

Agreed. I hope we get to play SANFL and AFLW games there. Will be good for both teams.
