They're obviously a bit worried about Lairdy...

I’d rather us have our facility in the parklands instead of the SANFL.

Seriously, how did Karen Rolton Oval ever get built on the "sacred" parklands...was Womad on at the time or something? The fact we are now almost 6 years into this process, and not a single sod of dirt has been turned, is damming. This would happen no where else, and to no other club...

Also, found an article from back in 2018 about us looking at the nursery / green waste site on War Memorial Drive. Assume it was just the parklands looby / North Adelaide residents that would have killed it, but was that site ever seriously looked at? Dream would have also been Park 12...but of course that was never happening....

We didn’t want thebarton, never did. But it became the last option standing after exploring everything else

We’re now trying to make the best of it against strong headwinds
