A media release just in from Norwood says that the Norwood, Payneham, and St Peters Council has refused permission for the Redlegs to move their clubrooms (and Pokies) from Woods St. around onto the Parade under the main grandstand.
It's unclear at this stage whether the council's refusal to grant an "extension" of Norwood's lease effects the current operations of their club on Woods St.
Despite giving the club previous assurances that they would support the redevelopment, the Council has now voted against the proposal - in a meeting where Norwood officials were excluded. Norwood are particularly upset, as the newly voted in Mayor has previously gone on record as being a supporter of the move of venue.
Just heard this on the radio and it sounds like Norwood and their council are at complete loggerheads after a hypocritical about face by the council.
An SANFL without Norwood would be like a SANFL without North Adelaide, ie NOT a SANFL!!
Hopefully Norwood can work around this, but if they need a bit of help lets hope that Norwood fans will have the same passion the North fans shown by our Rooster Rally.
I for one would be there giving my support or if any Norwood fan wants to start something similar to what I did I'd be willing to assist.
Good luck 'Legs.
