Westies Grandstand on fire

[the tractor]

from what i understand training will be as normal at RICHMOND OVAL as the visitors room, the umpires rooms our change rooms and the property room have only smoke damage its mainly the gym andy's office and the medical room that are badley damaged...... apparently the crows have offered use of their gym facilities at westlakes until we can get it all sorted out

Was that your back on the channel 9 news Sarge??

Very bad news for the club, hopefully the insurance crowd will push things through fast so they can get things fixed quickly.

What the are chances of round 1 being changed

I hope not (but think the chance is now pretty high) I'm looking forward to travelling the 3 Km to see North take on the bloods under lights

1 - memorabilia lost is of little signifcance - Sperling & the media were sensationalising there - all the good stuff is located elsewhere
2 - BEWARE - insurance does not always cover poorly maintained electrical work that should be the clubs' responsibility

The grandstand itself wouldnt be owned by the club, it would be own by the council...

relevance?

TRue alot of the good stuff is not in the changerooms, but the banner above the back door to the gym was something that cant be replaced. It was amazing and unfortunately it has gone!

The Adelaide Crows have offered westies use of their training facilities.

just to add a touch of humour..given what port 'alledgedly' want would they opposed west using the facilities at footy park

[Hodges 153!]

No, but Im sure North will.

No, but Im sure North will.

Expect a strongly worded communique from Rooster HQ today. Highlights only.

"We deplore the use of Crows facilities...by West Adelaide...NAFC does support training....but just not here...no option but to explore...merger options with the Redbacks"

Does the club need an volunteers to clean up or assist? Serious question, we might be able to arrange a SAFooty volunteer force to help out....

Have asked the question to the club this morning and they said they were fine but to keep checking.

I hope the Power doesn't offer assistance, imagine the outcry...

Seriosuly, couldn't be any worse timing for Westies, but.........I did notice that the 'Tiser said Collins was returning to Adelaide today from Melbourne. I'm assuming it was for the long weekend, just found it odd a well *ahem* paid Senior coach would not be in the state at this time of year, pre-season and all.

Dutchy, put me down* as an extra pair of hands if the SAFooty crew is requested.

Thanks to those who have offered to help. I'll keep you posted if anything is needed.

Booney, thanks too. You'll be pleased to know that Andy was at Westie's training Saturday morning and will be there tonight. I think his whole week, whether at Richmond or not, is pretty much football-related, so it would have been a rare long weekend day or two off for him.

[westies sarge]

if your read todays paper westies have said that if the grandstand cant be used for round 1 they will be erecting a temperary stands for the game under lights against north, and the lights will be started on at the end of the week
