I more meant training on parklands without facilities there. I have no issue whether they decide it to be at Thebarton or north Adelaide but you need clubrooms/facilities where you train.

I do wonder if facilities mean toilets......I think they mean big infrastructure?
I'm not a fan of the thebby personally, but if the club thinks it works then I'll accept it.
It is an April Fools joke.
Just thinking about the gear that is used at training is the big tip off. No way the players and coaches will be carrying that across Port Road, with no infrastructure (storage) at the oval.
Also, isn't that site the old Coke site? A subtle dig at our club......

And Some believe (myself included) April Fools' Day ends at noon will contend that prank victim are only "fools" if they fall for a trick early in the day. After that, the fools become those who try to carry out pranks.

Probably but Carlton are never fixtured to play here
If it's on the Parklands then it'd probably mean any permanent structure. Basically we'd have to pack, pick up and move a ridiculous amount of stuff every time we want to train.
dmack can you go feed the lions please.

Can we join up with the SACA at Karen Rolton Oval?
Facilities there are good
Redbacks and Crows... the two powerhouses of Australian sport united. Unstoppable

The leader of the bunch.
Redbacks: but what if we need the ground for a final?

I sincerely hope you don't open a beer in the fridge today......
I did it a bit wrong. Might have snuck in 10 beers last night. Not too bad, but they were Grolsch swing tops.

Crows set for “short-term” move to new home base
Adelaide has been based at Football Park since they joined the AFL in 1991.

Maybe I'm naïve but Rucci sounded like he believed this is a genuine plan and on reflection this idea has some merit.

for a 5year stint we couldn’t invest heavily in facilities at thebarton so what would the facilities they are using be?
the training groundis simple, but what about everything else that goes with it.
and if it is a 5yr interim measure, what benefit does it have over staying at west lakes for that time with a know departure date?
Would be different if we had to be out and our ideal option was 5years away and it was thought better to compromise short term to get the best long term but I can’t see how it’d work to move twice when it’s not meeded
