Croydon Kings SC have done a land swap with the council. Brand new facility with synthetic pitches and the council get to sell their old ground that was used as a construction yard for the Regency overpass

Not really a land swap as council own both parcels of land. The club was left homeless after the former state govt aquired part of their ground to build the road. Was a fair old fight and the libs kicked in around $5m towards the new set up. Polonia/Croydon Kings already used Regency Park oval for their junior teams in the past.

Fantastic new facility that will be finished soon. The down side is that the turf cricket pitch had to make way for the new development.

Like the one on Churchill Road owned by West Adelaide I think.

It went up like a teenager on viagra then has completely stopped for a couple of years now, it looks like it will be superb once completed, if ever.

Similarly I went to the stadium at Gepps Cross last week (ServiceFM Stadium) and was amazed as I didn't even know it was there previously.
Saw some time lapse photography of it going up in 12 months, amazing!

A workmate involved with a amateur club reckons the Churchill Rd ground is the new home of West Adelaide (the old Hellas Greek club) and that just by coincidence one of Turbo Tommy’s relatives was on the board and the new precinct was fast tracked for state government money. Apparently the hold up was because they were allocated “x” amount of money in the grant but had to stump up some money of their own. The club allegedly blew the money on part of the build (think it was the kitchen or bar?) that hadn’t been authorised or permits obtained hence it’s come to a standstill

Dude at work that was a gun soccer player back in the day for West Adelaide reckons it's typical of what they do, acquire land, build til the money dries up, wait for more money and then finish it off.

The pitch looks magnificent on google maps, not much car park spaces though, I didn't realise how deep the whole areas was.

Why would you install lights before it is finished?

This was the subject of a fight between Turbo and Cory Wingard
Wingard was going to institute an inquiry into it
Of course TT got all outraged

I have lived just off Churchill road since 2017 and West Adelaides new ground has been in the same built phase since then. I know someone who plays for that club and they have said it was up to the current completion since around 2016, so almost nearing 7 years with no progress. As Jim mentioned they ran out of money and someone who worked for Soccer SA told me they tried to get more funding through them to finish it off. They told them it was your own fault for running out of money and they wouldn't pitch in. Basically said get yourselves out of your own mess.
