The phrase "get on board" originally referred to a train, didn't it?Even Port4556?
Therefore he won't. He'll get in his car instead

Footy Park is not dead yet... One Direction performing there in Feb. Thousands of 13 year old girls outraged that it isn't at Adelaide Oval, well the cricket world cup isn't that important anyway
Has this been confirmed? All I've heard about this is an Andrew Jarman rumour.

If they wanted help demolishing the stadium, the combination of 1D music, screaming girls, and said screaming girls rampaging towards Harry Styles is sure to do the trickOh. Dear. God

New Zealand vs Scotland in Dunedin for Feb 17 just became a whole lot more tempting to attend for me.

Is AAMI Stadium used for anything nowadays? Can you just wander in and have a look?
Still reckon it should be used for preseason games

The Crows train there all the time during the season, but i assume it would be all locked up now, especially as the SANFL HQ are now at Adelaide Oval.
I would suggest AAMI stadium will be gone altogether in a few years. Whilst the Crows have a 40 year lease on it's use, the 8 SANFL are hungry for cash and just leaving the huge area that the Oval stands just so the Crows can train there offers nothing to the SANFL clubs. Whilst the AFC/Stephen Trigg made a massive tactical blunder in spending $20 million on their training facility there, the new CEO will have to manage the "compensation" that Adelaide will receive from leaving West Lakes.
The area that is to be sold off is the members car park and the public car park. If for arguments sake, this is worth $100 million, you'd have to think the oval area would be a least that and then some. Why would the SANFL clubs want that to sit there for 40 years? The answer is they won't.
It is in the Crows best interests to establish a base close to the city any rate, but as I said, getting the cash out of the SANFL will be the next CEO's biggest challenge. You'd think the SANFL will be compliant as for them it is a means to an end, but now that the umbilical cord between the AFC and the SANFL has been cut, you just never know.

footy park is so old school they might as well use kangaroo skin and lace for the football.

Watch as 2,000 people rock up becasue they now know exactly how shite the place is, and it's so far from anything. Better off playing at Richmond again.

Will be interesting. I'll probably go as it's free for members, but there could be a protest to show fans want AAMI to well and truly belong to the past.

Question is...
More people protesting having to go back to AAMI
or
Port fans protesting having to play at "home" on the Parade?!
