Opinion New AFC HQ: We're on like Donkey Kong!

[FR0GGY]

So once we move we have no ties with the SANFL?
What’s the lease with the west torrens council in length?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Check the thread you’re in

I know but you asked about Olsen. The comment stands as this was part of his role as chairman.

Still playing at a ground the SANFL co-operates (can't see that changing).

Lease at Thebarton is 42 years with an option for a 42 year extension beyond that.

I love the one Karen they interviewed. Supposedly council didnt listen to the people, apart from you know the two rounds of community consultation and a result 80 per cent in favour…apart from that, nothing

His role in finding us a new home has been questioned, I would have thought it obvious I’m talking about us landing Thebby

Imagine if the Charles Sturt council listed these peoples contact details including phone (and sometimes home phone) numbers on their website and we all took the opportunity to have a chat about how they voted.

Man that would be something.

 

[Samcro24]

Some of these names are made up surely.

Melinda, Lindie? Nah bro it’s Merlindie.

Katrina? Riona? Nah Katriona.

So Nicholas Lelacheur voted no and who is in my Semaphore Park ward, the other bloke, Stuart Ghent, either abstained or didn’t attend the meeting.

True true.

Ok based on this element, well the responsibility did fall on to him considering he was the one who made West Lakes not a viable proposition to stay long term through his previous roles. And he did fail at his first two prospects and almost failed at this one. Which, I am almost certain he thought he'd get the aquatics centre across the line and then the Brompton option. We only conceded to go to thebby after his first two failures and then even thebby became hard over night.

There is no doubt there was talk prior to 2020 of plans to find a new home. So it wouldn't have been a new agenda item when he walked through the door. And I am sure he would have had long conversations with Fagen and Chapman in his tenure at the Sanfl as they were demolishing WL around the club.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Isn't there a possibility that people who bought in the new development were told that the area would become open space at a point in the future?

Well not really. Because if the sanfl wasn't moving in the crows would stay

 

[GameofSloanes]

These people are so ****ing stupid

Even if it was true why is that a reason to oppose this

I can just imagine a selling agent waving towards the oval claiming it'll become open space. I'd bet it wasn't written anywhere though

 

[chazwazza]

I don’t agree with any standover tactics of the CMFEU however lets see what eventuates rather than jumping at potential shadows.

What? Like caving someone’s head in?

You should take up comedy

He wasn't in charge of the Sanfl? My apologise

Has absolutely zero to do with finding us a new home, the fact you’re even going there and you can’t acknowledge that he has actually delivered with so many obstacles is very embarrassing for you

But you’ve gone searching for reasons why Olsen shouldn’t be given some credit for getting us Thebby, some are just silly.

The club has had to deal with 2 govts, 3 councils, ridiculous NIMBYS and the end result we are going to have a great facility on the edge of town.

Posters on here have slammed him along the way, it’s only reasonable to now acknowledge what he and the club have achieved.

Yeah…. A-League full of washed up or recycled players are going to beat AFL as the most dominant sport in Australia lol.

Not to mention on the brink of collapse and seems to lurch from scandal to scandal.
