Opinion New AFC HQ (Part 2): The wheels are in motion

[GameofSloanes]

The oval being realigned so goals face North-South?

Yes, it's going to have the same alignment as Adelaide Oval

 

[GameofSloanes]

Any tears from the action group today?

I hope so

 

[Cap]

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

Absolutely, i think it will help with crowds, and we should be able to get a practice match there for the AFLM team too.

What did he say?

Came of the top turn buckle re: the turning of the sodd.
It involved an outdoor broadcast, a hard hat & a 'Stihl Shop Payneham' sponsored segment!

I didn't think that had even happened yet....

Just saw Olsen on the news saying the delay has increased costs, which is expected. Interesting that Silvers is quoted above saying, "we've got all our funding place" and yet Olsen goes on to say that we'll be running a "capital campaign to close the gap". If we had all the funding in place, we wouldn't need to be closing any gaps. Our club should at least organise their lies better.

Lol, you are easily pleased.

I find him painful.

Good to see they are on the same page lol...

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Now we are making progress.

To close the loop, can you provide the original post that I responded to, or was it deleted?

Do you still maintain that the AFC did not seek the AFL guarantee because we wanted to avoid scrutiny from the AFL?

Do you still believe that there is no way that a bank will provide a loan to the AFC for a new facility.

Preferably respond without vilification (dullard, funny little guy, burger flipper), just the facts. As I requested 4 years ago, please quote the exact statement from the 2019 annual report where the auditor stated a concern regarding the financial situation of the AFC.

Still waiting 1970 Crow.

Surely it can’t be that hard since you have already re-read the 2019 annual report.

Do you still maintain that there is no way we will be able to borrow the funds for a new facility?

Show me where I posted that we'd not be able to borrow the funds? What I've said is that our modest profits are ok running our business, but it gets hard when you're trying to borrow to undertake a major development. It's not difficult to understand.

And with respect to finding a post that is a fantasy of yours, even if I deleted it, which I didn't, it still appears in your response. So you just need to dig that up and my pist will be embedded in it. Oh that's right, the post you're talking about never existed, it came from the fantasy land that you often inhabit.

I’m willing ready to pay $1k for a brick.

Thebarton Oval is my football spiritual home having been taken as a youngster to watch West Torrens from the mid-1960’s to 1990.

The club would have always had a fundraising campaign as part of their plans. Maybe buy a brick, or maybe more targeted to high net worth donors.

Anything they say to promote the fundraising - "hey, costs have gone up, give us a hand" - is just marketing.

End of the month...apparently

How is the oval getting re-aligned if the old grandstands are staying?

Maybe we can do personalised pickets like they do at Alberton.

We can all chip in a few dollars for a "Norwood sucks" one.

So, what comes first finals, or the completion of this build?

The grandstands aren't hugging the fence, plenty of room to move things around. Also, the current oval is miles in from the fence.

Finals youd hope.

Checkout some of the images here from the club's final design article from July which gives a good indication of how the re-aligned oval will look with the heritage grandstands.
