I coached in th U14 Boys Nationals at Morphett Vale in 1999 and it was good then. I'm sure it will be even better with the renos.

Was Wayville being used at this time for something else or just too central for everyone...

Sorry but why should wayville have everything.MV is 30 mins from cbd. Its been done up since the last championship in 99 and it was great then.(Parent of child who participated). I hear that SA are up in rotations in near future for the 16s so maybe wayville may get those.

Morphett Vale is more convenient and central then Tamworth which is where NSW are playing the Under 16's.

"MV is 30 mins from cbd"

at 2 in the morning using the expressway - i would suggest at least 45 mins during any part of the average day from GPO (CBD) to MV

#484 and not everyone lives in the CBD

Central isn't close for everyone.

What about the people in the Southern suburbs that have to travel 30 mins to Wayville for every BSA event or Grand Finals?

What about Nationals that have been held at Starplex?

Sounds to me like sour grapes from a Forestville member because for once you didn't get given an event on a silver platter.

Morphett Vale is a tremendous location.

All of the Fleurieu just 15 minutes away, great accomodation options, wineries etc

Oh I forgot it is also the best facility in SA.

Why would you want to travel here and stay in the city and play at Wayville!

NOt even close. The score boards do not work. The seating is poor, the toilets and change rooms are a disgrace. Start improving the facilities because you are not even close to being the best. Good courts do not make a good venue.

And BSA are responsible for the condition of the stadium not the club.

club gets charged a small fortune to rent the stadium, then is expected to pay for seating
