NAFC History Tour for History Festival

Postby Leaping Lindner » Tue Apr 17, 2018 4:47 pm

After the success of last year I will again be conducting a bus tour during History Festival that takes in the early days of the North Adelaide Football Club.
North moved to Prospect Oval in 1922 and this tour will take in sites relevant to the club's history from 1881 (when the Medindie team started) to 1921.

Hope to see lots of not just North lovers but football history lovers there!

I would thoroughly recommend this bus tour to any Rooster fan or in fact any South Australian sports fan or Adelaide historian. Leaping Lindner's knowledge of the early days of North Adelaide's history is unsurpassed. And of course he is the oracle as far as North's forerunner, the Medindie Football Club is concerned. I learnt so much on last year's tour and look forward very much to this year.

Go the mighty Dingoes.
