I think there’s a workaround, I don’t know it though.
The Outline.com loop hole was blocked.
I don’t know any other way.

Typical of a Port nuffie article.
Peter Goers is high on a list of flogs.
He's a very intelligent bloke, sort of flies in the face of "The Crows control the media"Was quite humorous really. He’s obviously acutely aware of what he was doing hence the need to mention the pop up beach thing.
Long ago I used to enjoy his Sunday mail rants. Then he started with the Port Power bullshit and I realised he was nothing other than the usual bitter, nasty, loser Port-supporting campaigner. He can GAGF, like all Port supporters.Typical of a Port nuffie article.

WE need a place where members can congregate after a game
I think we should keep trying for a joint venture at Adelaide Uni sports oval on the other side of KW street. Let Adelaide uni still use it and gift the Amateur league the training facility at West Lakes if we need to bribe them too.
Do we really though? The Magarey Room already handles the hour or so of post game, there's not a need for anything beyond that.
Adelaide Uni alumni are not interested in sharing, and the minute we leave the West Lakes facility it will revert to the real estate development company who owns it, where the majority of it will be demolished for more housing, and part of our move is being funded by the payout we'll be receiving for leaving our contract early so they can do that.
The Magarey Room is a poor substitute for the "shed".Do we really though? The Magarey Room already handles the hour or so of post game, there's not a need for anything beyond that.

Current environment doe not highlight the need for a large shed type area,The Magarey Room is a poor substitute for the "shed".
.....and it's only available directly after a game.
I thought that the oval itself was to always remain - and that the club retains ownership of the training facility building.
"I'm very sure - the oval itself is to remain an oval as part of the council's demand for "open space". I'm also pretty certain that the clubrooms/training centre are included in this.I don't know whether the oval needs to remain or not, but the club does not own, it rents - when the SANFL sold the land to the developers we retained I believe a 20 year rental contract for a nominal amount. Now that the development of the area has proven to be a big success for them, they want us to leave now rather than at the end of the contract, so they can finish it all in one go.

If you were running a club would you put your money into a venue catering for 1-2% or into free merchandise to 100% of the members? or maybe putting your money into making it easier for more than 25% member to use Public transport.
I want world best training ground, I don't care if you cannot buy a beer, I would be happy with BQ area while watching training or a decent Cafe when I visit the place.

How many people but more importantly how many members would use it,Current environment does not reflect the existence of a large shed type area.
Current environment does not reflect the potential use of such an area.
I would put my money into building the club and into the future of that club - not just into what might be immediate improvements for the admin and training facilities now or tomorrow..
Free merchandise? are you referring to the cheap s**t that breaks/gets thrown out every year?? No - I do not want "free merchandise".
Transport - there is (virtually) no public transport to the proposed new centre. If ever we need it - it will be impossible.
The club also fields (dammed successful) women's team - it needs a home. Why not make it so that home is also the club's base.
It's not a case of if I want a beer.
I want a club.
It's a football club - not a trip to the "theatre".
