SANFL v SACA

[csbowes]

The SACA...

... am I the only one who will come out and say what total tossers they appear to be (once again, for like the millionth time).

Seriously, if the accusations being made by the AFL and SANFL are true, whereby the SACA is talking out of school, SACA members should be on the phone calling the board and giving them a good going over, god knows I'll be giving Brayshaw a serve about my teams coaching fiasco... but that's another story...

I've just never understood the SACA. A great stadium with a p*** poor product. They have one 1-dayer and 1 test and then a range of incredibly uninteresting cricket matches after that. I know, I know, some people like state cricket, but in the big picture of things, five men and a dog going to see the Redbacks isn't an endorsement of the product. From where I sit, the SACA should be pleading like crazy to get AFL football there, but there always seems to be an air of "arrogance cum expectation" on their part.

Do they not know humility down there?

I'm quite happy for someone to provide more facts to this than what the crappy commercial television stations and the local paper have said on this matter, but on the face of it, the SACA certainly appears to have acted poorly, improperly, wanker-like etc

Comments?

Pretty much my thoughts as well ... I would have added the word irrelevant somewhere.

I'd add the term a joke. This latest unprofessional act may be a bonus for us SANFL fans ensuring we have to go there less.
And what's this crap I keep reading that the SACA want football to return there for the first time since 1973.
WTF have I been watching there for the last 30 years?
Morons.
Get a competent organisation to take over Adelaide Oval and I and footy might consider going back there.
They should have demolished the SACA instead of demolishing the bowling club there.

That's hilarious. Where was that written?

Today's article alluded to it "more concessions to football if the SANFL is to return to Adelaide Oval for the first time since 1974" but at least 2 articles and quotes in the past have rerferred to "football" returning to the oval for the first time since 73 or 74.
Completely disrespectful and incorrect.

I didn't realise things were that bad in Adelaide that SANFL isn't even referred to as football let alone league football anymore. Flogs.

Perhaps a VFL team played there back then.

The "journalist" whose name I will not smear upon This August Forum wrote that "elite football" has not been played there in 40 years. It baffles me how anyone with that attitude could hold a "chief" position at the Advertiser.

Journalists, journalists who play footy, they're the worst.
