It is a classic case of -
Although the community as a whole and the council supported the redevelopment, the NIMBYs argued strongly against the expansion before retiring to the trailer park.

Too many Boomers.
Lucky we are not all alike
What an embarrassment to themselves
Do you drag your grandkids (assuming you have them) to a protest making them hold a sign made by you? Then you aren't the crowd I mean
Next thing the Crows will offer removable picnic tables on the second oval.
Will go down as another great SA initiative, just like the retractable lights and the one way expressway.

The retractable lights.....blokes almost got killed putting them up all because the Norf Adelaide residents whining...
Lets not forget the Footy Park lights saga as well.....5 years of arguing and a Royal Commission. How many thousands of dollars wasted????
I'll say it again...there are people in Adelaide who wont be happy until we have the return of Horse Drawn Carts and Kerosene Lamps lighting up King William Street....

The Adelaide Football Club will not pay rates to West Torrens Council if Thebarton Oval becomes its new headquarters, it has been confirmed.
Instead, the Crows annually will pay $20,000 in rent for the first 10 years before it is increased to $40,500 for another 10 years.
Council chief executive Terry Buss has detailed how the club instead will be charged “rates-inclusive rent” in a report to be presented at a special meeting on Tuesday night.
Mr Buss said the Crows also would be responsible “for all user costs/outgoings applicable to its use of the facilities”.
Mr Buss said the Crows wanted to have naming rights to Thebarton Oval, which would involve the erection of sponsor signs on its interior and exterior.
“The (council) administration does not have any objections to this request, on the proviso that the name is not gratuitous and does not offend ‘normal’ community expectations or standards,” he said.
Mr Buss said if signs were put up on the outside of the oval, the council wanted to know what commercial arrangements were involved.
“This will allow council to receive a financial benefit via an increase in rates and/or additional rental,” he said.

Thebarton Oval's already had a number of sponsor names on it already.
Adelaide Airport, Aldi, and Guardall Security are 3 that have had naming rights to the oval off the top of my head.

Why would the Adelaide Airport be a sponsor ? ......are they trying to encourage people to fly ? .....hopefully it works

I'm wondering how long before Port supporters start complaining about the deal we have with the council, but the key difference between our deal and Port's is that we have to pay for the upkeep of both ovals whereas the Port Adelaide/Enfield Council pays for theirs.
Last I heard Port pay between 90-100k a year to the Council for Alberton Oval, but the Council claims that they spend almost double that a year on the upkeep of the oval.

isn't just saying we can show sponsors, not that we're actually re-naming the oval

The same reason Avalon Airport had the naming rights at Werribee for a few years, or Flinders University have naming rights at Noarlunga. It's a sponsorship deal.

I always find them to be very strange & pointless decisions ......they're often mates sponsorships, not rooted in business principles
I'm assuming it may be about naming rights on the building too. Like when the Bombers built their new training facilities in the early 2010's it was named the True Value Solar Centre and now called The NEC Hanger.
So we could call it the Toyota Training Centre or something and that's allowed. Still technically on Thebarton Oval, but the facilities have a naming sponsor component to them.
