News Alberton Oval Redevelopment

[OneGreatClub]

Most parties get in and say the books were cooked, or much worse than stated, and use the opportunity to reneg on their spending promises, let alone the prior incumbents plans.

Yep. geez I hate politics.

Alberton Oval will go without night games forever while most of the SANFLs clubs have this luxury.

Was that Olsen just now on tv? We're doomed

I'll swap you some nice floodlights for your grandstand roofs!

lol was at the Round 1 Glenelg/Port game last season down at the Bay. Was the roof connected by blu tak or something before it blew off?

I think it was just sitting on top of the walls with gravity. Blue tack is a luxury we cant afford down at the Bay.

I'm confident this will still happen one way or another. State funding or not.

It was only covering about 20% of the total cost anyway. They’ll either cover it with private funding, break it down into phases or taper the plans. Most of it will get done if not all.

Yup. Kochie said as much when asked on the day

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Oh well back to hold ups.

 

[finbarr]

Rob Lucas will re-direct the money to Richmond Oval to build Australia's largest LCD replay screen.

 

[tribey]

Oh well back to hold ups.

Hey look, it's playing well with eastern suburbs beta-males and that's what ultimately matters.

You just know they haven't stopped high-fiving and high-tenning in the Alma beer garden since about 9.30.

Don’t forget the low-fives. Collars aren’t the only things being popped tonight.

I was at that game .. lighting was very low for football I thought.

 

[Interstater]

Oh well back to hold ups.

I read this as robbing banks.

 

[drcollossimo]

Isn’t Steven Marshall a pear fan though? Rob Lucas is a cowardly POS who won’t stand in the house of assembly and hides in the legislative council on a liberal quota ticket but the chief is a power fan that’s gotta count for something ?

 

[Needs Gravy]

Club still had to find 23million to complete the project with the ALP assistance. While KT and Kochie have not provided any information on where this money will come from the club has a plan in place. There have been rumblings about the upgrade for several years.
The club would already have in place how this capital will be raised so know instead of 23 it’s 31 million.
Perhaps the ALP got wind of the project and through some funds at it in the last weeks of an election campaign.

I find this situation strange. Surely this should have been sorted years ago.

 

[VineValerian]

Pity Jay didn't just give us the $8mill cheque straight away, instead of promising it he was re elected. Too late now

Hopefully we have enough irons in the fire to fund it anyway.

Commercial and General not the SANFL own a nice set of lights they need to dispose of soon. Should ask them what they want for them.

Let's run with that.

Had a friend broke through illegally
Pulled a job on a small town TAB
Give grand down on his own little piece of freedom

heh been thinking this for sometime (Footy Park lights), should be 2 sets of (76m & 57m ) light tower poles aswell, unless they sold the old 57m ones for scrap, are the video screens still there?

All the towers are the same height.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

New Tram to Richmond Oval to go with the 80 metre replay screen.
