Oval usage - Cricket

[rocket18]

Why will it be dodgy ??

Its the same surface

Doesn't the machine that brings in the pitch cause some damage to the surface for a few days?

Will the grass be cricket length (short) instead of footy length (long)??

 

[FR0GGY]

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

They can win a final at Rolton, there’s a good chance that the ground would not be reinstated properly or a higher injury chance for the crows on AO after a pitch install and removal.

I love my cricket but there is no way the game should be held at AO

 

[Rabish Binney]

Final should definitely be at AO, and AFL should not start before late March at the earliest. This is clearly cricket season.

Its CA's fault - all due to the Big Bash taking priority during December and January (school holidays) when no shield cricket is played.

Take that shit away and the shield season would be finished.

The machine doesn't damage the surface.

Yes the grass might be shorter and that's a small reason to be concerned..... but only a small one.

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

Should be great to see these people flock to the ground to watch the team they care so much about.

Whats the cost of entry? Dollar coin donation?

If the Crows thought it would be dangerous they wouldn't play on it.

You'll see it on D5

 

[Rabish Binney]

I bet there would be no issues if the Roiling Stones scheduled a concert during that week......

Apparently there are a couple hundred thousand people that want the jellybacks to win, shame they don't know where AO is.

Why is it, that people who don't follow a sport in this country seem to love to denigrate those who do ??

Im guessing you've got stacks of mates

 

[AFC979810]

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)

What in the world?

The top teams in baseball (Dodgers, Yankees, Philly, Padres) all played 80 home games in 2024. They averaged 40,000+ per game.

State Cricket is like the SANFL and Woman's AFL had a baby they gave up for adoption because it was too ugly.

I don’t think it’s that unfair to have a crack at those who don’t ever go then suddenly want to jump on.

 

[FR0GGY]

Shouldn’t get to that.
This is on the SACA, don’t give up to the oval to football if the season is still running.

Like the thousands of people who go to NRL SoO and not their club games ??

 

[AFC979810]

I bet there would be no issues if the Roiling Stones scheduled a concert during that week......

I doubt The Rolling Stones would want to come to Adelaide to play 5 concerts in a 50,000 seat stadium and only sell 1,000 tickets.

 

[Cromulant]

Shouldn’t get to that.
This is on the SACA, don’t give up to the oval to football if the season is still running.

I agree it shouldn't get to that, but if the Shield season isn't finished yet, don't have AFL games there.

That’s a different team though? Redbacks have played all season

Funny, baseball is a vastly inferior product too

During the working week more often than not

That’s on the SACA not afl. It’s the afl keeping AO alive

 

[FR0GGY]

This game might be solely weekdays

 

[Cromulant]

Well it's not, SACA don't set the dates for the Shield season.

The issue has come about because both seasons have crossed over more and more over the last decade.

What?

That's not the point I'm making,.

I'm referring to the potential damage to the oval...

Than Shield Cricket?

Give me an MLB game over a day at a shield cricket match any day of the week.
