Heritage listed...
I don't see why we wouldn't

Have you seen what they look like or the back of them?
One would hope we are at least updating them.

Indeed, I've sat in them.
To knock them down and replace them would cost a small fortune, I'd imagine they'll get a nice refurb

I think it’s just the Ridings Stand that’s heritage listed
The one to the right is heritage listed, and does look aesthetically pleasing. The one to the left of it though can get in the bin.

The office space out back that the Adelaide Football League used to use. And the SANFL umpiring before that.
Does ANYONE still use it?
Im pretty sure Adelaide football league is now in Norwood and the SANFL umpiring is at Adelaide Oval now.
If not, you could easily get rid of it. Under the heritage listed stand you have 1 changeroom for teams and the umpires changeroom (Mightn't be AFL standard though)
And that building out the left has another. (Though, they did redevelop that by putting a wall straight through the middle to create 4 changerooms (2 here ontop of the 1 each under the 2 other stands). - Might be perfect for umpires now, men in one, women in another)
But obviously we'd have a changeroom in the new facilities in the outer. We can use that, umpires can use that room at the end, and the away teams can use the old one in the main stand.

Arrowman's report from preseason work at the new HQ:
Today's session was focused on precision of earth movement, so we didn't see as much speed of movement as perhaps we'd like. Hopefully they'll bring in more speed in the next few weeks.
With the crews divided into what appeared to be As and Bs, it was interesting to see new workers Kevin and Barry running backhoes for the As, and they more than held their own. Kevin in particular pulled off a couple of silky moves, dropping dirt into passing trucks with confidence.
Veteran bulldozer operator Tony looked to be restricted in his movements and left the site after an hour. He was replaced by young gun Jaxxon, who took a while to get a feel for the work, but finished up with a few confident sweeps of the blade.
All in all, an impressive session, but it remains to be seen if the crew will be up to it when the concrete trucks come out and the real stuff starts.

We’re doing a full rebuild, hopefully Nicksy not in charge!
I've heard Tony has been bad mouthing Jaxxon behind his back directly to Nicksy and the local NIMBY group.

I preface this by saying recruiting was great last year. There is now pretty much no 'facilities' excuse when not landing potential recruits.
Players coming at the end of this year will know there's a new home base 1 year into their multi year deal.

Good to see work has begun.
Im not complaining but I feel we like we compromised and delayed more than we initially thought with Thebarton but we have to take what we can get. I doubt a second oval or a stage 2 will ever occur.
