SA Footy

Gotta love them Sharks eh?...
I always had a soft spot for 'em!
In their long history with the NSWRL, ARL, Superleague & NRL the poor buggers have never won a Premiership!
Still, good on 'em for tryin to build a support base over here in the City of Churches by bringing 3 home games over
for the next 3 seasons with the first match being played against the Cowboys here on April 17th.
Personally I would love to see my team, them other fish from Sydney's West (Eels)
...a place where an AFL team will be about as successful as a League team was based in Adelaide back in the late 90's!
GO PARRA!!!

i will be there. not sure who i will be supporting as yet. as i am an parra fan as well, but happy to see league coming back to adelaide.

Where will it be played?

at hindmarsh, and can't wait. I am a huge cowboys fan and am greatful that they get poor crowds in sydney, hence they get to play here. 7000 saw the panthers take on the storm a few years back, i think with the correct promotion and pricing this could get 10,000 quite easily.

**** 'em both...

CARN THE RAIDERS

(but I'll go for a fix )

The way the Sharks are going off-field they might be looking for a new home...

In the early 80's I used to have a Sharks jumper. A hand me down from my New South Welshman cousins. But prob go for the Cowboys being the Queenslanders.
Might be in just gotta find out if a few of my mates are making the journey. Its good to see league back even if only 1 a year, I was a life time member of the defunct Rams!!

there would be riots on cronulla beach
Oh hell they've done that already

tickets now on sale at venuetix. interesting to see that its a sunday arvo game at hindmarsh, probably so it doesn't clash with the crows v cats the night before. hope that it doesn't effect crowd numbers to significantly

Cant wait for this, happy to support any team that moves games to SA, so i will be on the Sharks for this one.

Good to see them send a few players over here for coaching clinics last week also.
