Up until 1958 it was also West's home other than a few years prior to World War II when they used Wayville as their home ground.

I could be wrong be I was under the impression that for the first couple of decades of the 20th century, West played elsewhere - I thought Jubilee Oval. I was also of the impression that North played all their home games, at least in the 20th century, at Adelaide Oval till they moved to Prospect.
I wouldn't have thought that more than two clubs could really use it for all their home games (i.e. you couldn't really have more than one game on it per round, subject to the odd round with public holidays etc.).

West Torrens defeated Sturt in the first ever game at Thebarton Oval on May 6th 1922. I emailed the club last October suggesting if a game could be played at Thebarton Oval to commemorate 100 years. Especially with the Eagles colours atop the nearby brickworks chimney, however, received no reply.
Not surprising Thebby and Prospect are a similar age, when games were played at Thebby I always thought it had the most similar feel and atmosphere to Prospect. Those 2 along with Norwood would be my favs.
Interestingly, both ovals run SW - NE rather than true N S.

Like your posts Aerie but I think that's not a good idea. Thebby is an aging ground, poor spectator facilities and poor parking. We lose a home ground advantage and the painted chimney is not as good as the Premiership cup and Flag at Woodville.
Prospect is the current home of NA and 100 years there is fantastic.

We knocked them off at one of their big celebrations at the Bay a while ago when Perrie kicked a winning goal after the siren at the Bay, remember it well as I had a free invite to their show that night as I was taking photos and tried to keep quiet I was a North supporter.

I meant special occasion games for North.
I remember that game well (don't remember it being on the siren though) - the only time we liked Perrie!
