Oval usage - Cricket

[rocket18]

We're not supposed to make a profit though, so unless we can't pay our bills (which we can) then who cares?

Ummmm, aren't we about to go into debt with the Thebby build?


We already prop up the SANFL, might as well prop up the SACA as well.

AFC, eternally doing the heavy lifting.

I'll be pissed if we roll over on this for a mickey mouse cricket game.

The club won't stand in the state team's way.

Shouldn't the club prioritise their members over a game of cricket??

Edit: Who am I kidding, the club never worries about their members, carry on.

We already did - the AO build effectively had $93m wiped from SACAs debt

Oh and its not mickey mouse

It not like we wont still be playing at AO on that weekend

 

[Cromulant]

Yes. No one cares.

I think you'll find thats a poor take, otherwise this wouldnt even be a discussion.

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm on the fence with this one

I went to Glenelg for the last one and it was fine and if its at KRO I guess I'll use my seniors card and ride trains all day for a view of the game

I dont think there will be any type of crowd until the last day so venue really doesnt matter

I do have some concerns about ground prep but I will back the ground manager to have the final say

Theyre so good with the drop in pitches these days that it SHOULDNT be a problem, but it might be.

Personally I dont think the game will go the full 5 days unless it rains anyway, so that will give the ground the extra day.

Hopefully.....

You're in a small percentage of people who follow state cricket closely, get over yourself.

Yes. No one cares.

How is it even a discussion. Make em play at the beach - might attract more fans.

Sometimes I think about that old beach cricket tourney they used to have televised. That was cool

Its a discussion because people do care.

Hate to say it

A tiny, but vocal minority. What do they average per day at a regular days play of Shield Cricket? 300 people?

Its the final, they've earned the right to host it at their home ground.

There would be more people who want to see the SACA win the Shield than see the Crows beat North in Round 3.

in any case we can do both, so I don't see why people like you care so much.

You've really got your insufferable pants on today don't you

I don’t think that’s true.

 

[Cromulant]

I don’t think that’s true.

Oh yeah it would be.

I'd rather move it than have a dodgy surface.

I'd rather move it than have a dodgy surface

Why will it be dodgy ??

Its the same surface

 

[Peter Doherty]

State cricket is like baseball in the US, it's primarily for kids, old people and losers.

(I have loser privilege so I can say this)

I can't help it if you love watching meaningless things designed for children

 

[FR0GGY]

Well there’s 8-10x the people that care enough to attend the crows vs red backs final

Ill attend both, and I'd much rather tbe Redbacks win a final
