I think you are right that this is probably the plan. I hope the other SACA members think about this possibility when they vote. -

As I see it waiting for seven years for membership and then paying all the associated cost allows me to vote based on whatever logic I chose. But I do see your point. -

I am both a SACA and Crows member so I can see it from both sides. But the reason I will be voting no is from a taxpayer point of view. I have three main problems with this development: Future proofing There is no scope for expansion, lets just say that the state government are... -

Gough based on the below the drop-in pitch was one of the first things the SACA gave in to: http://www.adelaideovalredevelopment.com.au/faqs Will there be drop-in pitches? If Adelaide Oval is to operate as a multi-purpose stadium then drop-in pitches will be necessary to ensure that cricket is... -

Based on the below article from yesterdays Advertiser they are, but I can't find any details on the SANFL, SACA or AdelaideNow web sites, so I'm not sure how they are releasing the information. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/cabinet-signs-off-on-oval-deal/story-e6frea6u-1226013830003... -
