Hickonbotham Oval wasn’t a sponsorship deal - they actually re-named the ground after Alan Hickinbotham.

Yes, that's what I was saying.

He literally stated the naming rights sponsor in that post.

I'm just hoping that we can get Triggy to give someone a football as the key part of the opening ceremony. Talk about emotional.

 

[El Doederino]

Reckon we’ve had that one

Really? I did a search and all this time

 

[FR0GGY]

Really? I did a search and all this time

I swear I saw it, anyway it’s decent

 

[Nicks_out_now]

Its started.

Have you not been following along.

Work has commenced. Fences all up. Trees being felled and oval being dug up. Things are finally happening.

"Coopers will be served exclusively in our hospitality functions on game day, including The Bunker at Adelaide Oval. There’ll be another very exciting off-field partnership announcement early next year as well."

"It’s full steam ahead on our Thebarton headquarters and like me, I’m sure you’re excited about the progress being made on the site. We’ll continue to provide you with updates when key construction milestones are reached."

Last place I would have expect to see a can of Coopers Pale Ale @ 28:35, that can has travelled a long way. It wasn’t sponsored product

That means no coopers in the members area which is irritating.

But take the good with the bad

I know we had Gage Road stuff at a few bars around AO on game day, hopefully they manage a deal to do that with Coopers

2025 is the final year of the current contract between Lion and the Adelaide Oval SMA for exclusive supply rights

We have "accidentally" removed some trees we shouldn't have

Not regulated or significant. Such a non issue shouldn’t even be brought up. We could have removed those trees for shits and giggles and would have been within our rights to do so.

It’s a nothing article, these are the only parts that aren’t just Crows saying they’re reviewing or replanting 3 for every 1 tree cut.

Hey all

I’m hoping to capture images showing works/progress. I only get access to updates every 3-4 months via work.

If anyone can find more regular updates that would be good.

These are late September 24.

 

[GameofSloanes]

It would be a real shame if they were the trees stopping a second oval. A real shame

Accidently / deliberately remove.

Accidently / deliberately remove.

Ask for forgiveness, not permission

 

[StonesThrow]

This whole thing has been over dramatised. Why not continue the theme.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder if we'll plant the new trees in the same place as the ones that were accidentally knocked down?

 

[WetCrow1991]

So much potential at the new ground.
An Andrew McLeod pavilion, A Tex Walker and Tony Modra goal, An Eddie Betts room, A Malcom Blight gate.
Ricciuto Avenue.

Prefer a Ricciuto dog park.

Where are you getting your aerials?.. best I can do is Nearmap which I have a subscription for..

It will update every 2-3 months.

It would be flight path for Adelaide airport which would rule out someone getting decent regular drone footage..
