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 !
