It is a very sad world that we live in if these are the faces of progress. Port are just being port, like a jealous little brother (or sister).
I think it originally said COWS.

I started doing a thing in Paint but got concerned i'd be too mean-spirited, but * me.
There's a few things wrong with this photo.

What the * is that hat? You're not in an 80's alterative music video, stop pouting.
If these people want to protest anything, they should start with cuts to the hospital system
Punchy Bassett
Brownlow Medallist
A picture that sums up all that is wrong with this town.
I am sorry, but that photo made me cry as it is sadly representative of the type of people who have let South Australia wither and die - a bunch of entitled, old, and bitter North Adelaide residents who would like to keep Adelaide in the 1970s (actually, the 1950s..when that nice Mr Menzies was PM), yet bemoan the fact that their children have had to move interstate to get work.
Personally, I have little doubt that these people have not used in the Aquatic Centre in years, nor had any interest in it until the thought of the unwashed masses milling through O'Connell Street chilled them to their ancient bones. How they can justify keeping a poorly used and maintained centre at great council expense, instead of a redeveloped facility available to the public with better facilities and at a lower cost, is beyond me. The hypocracy of this bunch is unbelievable...anyway...
Frankly, if this proposal is vetoed by the Ann Moran brigade, the State Government should step in and over -rule (ala what happened with Adelaide Oval...if it had of been left to these people the redevelopment and revitalization of the city would never have happened).

The government can’t intervene can they given it’s the councils property?

To whatever member of the AFC is reading this I offer you this simple solution. Offer 1 beer token per member who calls, emails and rocks up at a public council meetings and makes themselves heard.
The only reason we are hearing these grey nomads at all is because they are the squeaky wheel. Sometimes the way you fix a squeaky wheel is not to grease it, but to drown it out with 83,000 squeakier wheels!
And you know damn well that our members would do almost anything for a free beer at the football! Especially with your crazy prices!

Probably some of the people moving into the new suburb surrounding the oval? There has already been an influx of new houses and with more still to come as they keep redeveloping the land surrounding the oval.

Flaming bags of dog poo on the doorsteps would be pretty cool to.

She’s not only a nimby but lactose intolerant to.
If we win our first game we should all head down to North Adelaide and celebrate! Maybe go for a swim!

Apparently they can (as they did with Ad. Oval). I actually reckon there a reasonable chance that how it will play out.

Ironically "Skinny Dipping" what the Adelaide City Council calls the Adelaide Aquatic Centre P&L statement. Or at least they did in 1994. Now i'm pretty sure its referred to as "The Lead Balloon"

When we make another Grand Final once this has been built, put a couple of big screens on the Oval next door to the Aquaric Centre and watch the NIMBYs go off.

Perhaps hire an elephant, lion and a couple of jugglers etc given the circus this is becoming.
Remember this is the same group of individuals that had the road from Hawker Street into North Adelaide closed off to thru traffic some 30 years ago. They want North Adelaide to be the equivalent of Springfield - a small enclave for themselves.

Interesting ... kind've.
"The Crows this morning told InDaily: “We are focused on the North Adelaide site and it remains our top priority.”
The club also said it had investigated up to 30 other potential sites around metropolitan Adelaide."
Would be squeezy...
"The Crows this morning told InDaily: “We are focused on the North Adelaide site and it remains our top priority.”

Seven councillors to six last night voted against Mayor Robert Bria’s confidential motion asking the council’s CEO to approach the Crows seeking its interest in relocating the club’s headquarters to the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre and the Patterson Reserve precinct on the corner of Payneham and OG Roads.
The vote was made during a special meeting closed to the public.
It comes as the Adelaide City Council conducts a public consultation on the Crows’ $65 million bid to replace the ageing North Adelaide Aquatic Centre on the park lands with a new “sports and community centre”.
Mayor loses bid to lure Crows east - InDaily
<strong>EXCLUSIVE: </strong>Norwood Payneham & St Peters councillors have rejected a push from their mayor to invite the Adelaide Football Club to build a new headquarters at the long-established Payneham Swimming Centre and a neighbouring reserve, and to keep the council discussion secret from...indaily.com.au
Would be squeezy...
