Saturday Afternoon is North Footy - 2008 Fixture Details
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2007 6:31 pmThis from nafc.com.au, great to see all home games on Saturday afternoon like they should be:
Only gripe is playing Central at Elizabeth for Anzac Day as it'll be the first Anzac Day game that's not as "special" not being played at a neutral venue, would have loved to play at Thebby or Adelaide (which is unavailable) but on the bright side it means we wont have to play out there at night so I'll be there and it is Central's home game so its the only way the SANFL could have gone realistically. We'd waited this long to play in one and feel a bit jipped but I think after all Central's premierships they deserve an Anzac Day game out there, works a treat next year falling on a Friday and should give a chance for a few out there to get along.
With the draw kicking off the week after Easter our discussion re Good Friday Football goes flying out the window!
2008 SANFL Program - Draft
Whilst the Official Program will not be released until early December, we can advise members of key dates and features:
* 10 Home Games at Prospect
* ALL our home matches for the 2008 season are on Saturday afternoons
The Club submitted that this is our preferred schedule for SANFL footy. It does mean that we will have direct clash with one Crows and one Power match.
Round 1: is at Prospect against the Eagles on Saturday 29 March.
Byes:
* Round 2 - April 5
* State Match - May 31
* Round 17 - July 26 GALA DINNER
* Round 22 - August 30
Anzac Day Clash: Friday April 25 - Centrals at Elizabeth, being the premiers, won the right to host the grand final replay.
Sunday Football: We are totally at the mercy of the home club as to when we play. This year we play Port, Glenelg, Eagles and South three time to make up our 20 matches. A previous poll question on the web site revealed a strong preference for Saturday afternoon football at Prospect.
The 2008 program now provides a wonderful opportunity for Rooster fans to follow up by attending.

Its a shame I can't just buy a away season ticket for next season.
