Was walking through the car park to get to Football Park on Friday night and I walked past a set of goal posts. There was a uniformed guy waving his arms and directing cars where to go so I asked him to confirm that this was Max Basheer Reserve.
"Yep that's right".
"That's where the Crows train isn't it?"
"Yep"
"What are you letting cars drive on it for?"
"Mate it's a car park. It's been a car park for thirty years. We're not changing that to suit the Crows. Where else can people go?"
"Do the Crows ever get to train inside the ground?"
"Yep when we want to mow the grass out here we move them in."
"What about Port?"
"Yeah they train inside a bit too but usually they train at Alberton Oval."
You might have thought I was kidding so I took some pics...
Once inside I saw the Adelaide cheer squad erect a banner referring to their team as the Camry Crows! Holy Toledo! I thought that stuff went out the window years ago after the words in the club song got changed from "Mighty Camry Crows".
So there you have it folks. When you still think of yourself as an advertising gimmick for a car company then naturally you'll be happy to train in a car park.
