stadiums

Recently i was at Albury / Wodonga

they had 2 excellent 4-5 court stadiums with grandstands - albury seats 2,000, airconditioning, gymnasiums, coffee shops, swimming pools - all modern with plenty of trimmings

all this for a population of just under 100,000

Adelaide is 1.2 mill and we have some good / average stadiums - dome, Starplex, pasadena, wayville

some of our old stadiums are required at the national gallery.

somewhere along the line we need to rationalize, renovate or start shaking hands with the right people

honestly - some of our stadiums are run down, broken down hovels.

i have never even known a club to have a working bee to clean up !

where have you been, west adelaide often had working bees to keep bowden clean and painted, woodville and west adel when co tennants of athol park had regularly working bees to clean, paint, repair the stadium, the seats etc.

the courts, and backboards are basa's responsiblity as are the timing/scoreboard equipment but the general tidy up does happen

norwood when they first shifted into the powerhouse painted the changerooms

so don't know where you have been but you've obviously been missing when they have been on or maybe you are a parent or player who goes missing when work is to be done for the club you belong too?
