He means if you catch the bus. For example I come from Mt Barker and the last bus leaves an hour after the game. So if I choose to stay for a few more beers and then miss that, I'm ******.

Oh, I see. But public transport, be it the Footy Express or any train, bus tram, this still dictates when you need to be there, yes?

ie - you need to catch the 7:30 train to be in the city by 8pm.

Yes, but going to the AO you could choose to use regular public transport services either side of the 'football services'.

For example, you might decide to catch a 4pm bus/train into town and have a feed before the game. Or go out and get pissed after a game and catch the 7am bus home the next day.

This can be done to West Lakes, but why would you when you'd have to use at least 2 services (into city, out to WL) not to mention it taking forever.

SKYCITY Entertainment Group is seeking tax cuts as a condition of its $250 million expansion of the Adelaide Casino including a footbridge across the Torrens to link with the Adelaide Oval redevelopment.

“We are happy to be involved and more than happy to pay for a bridge that links the Oval with this side of the River Torrens – especially if it brings 50,000 patrons past our door.”
Whole story http://indaily.wordpress.com/2011/03/28 ... ootbridge/



This is an example of the spin off's throughout Adelaide due to the oval re-development. Exciting times.
Imagine, the new bars of the casino overlooking the torrens and AO, as the crowds swarm in over the bridge after a friday or saturday night game. Will be awesome, it WILL change the whole dynamics of the city. Why wouldn't Sky city throw money at this, they are in a perfect position geographically and economically.


Can hardly wait for more pokies at the Casino and more addicts relying on the government for handouts :roll:

A vote of 75% of SACA members was needed and not only achieved but exceeded... the Tribe has spoken... Disgruntled SACA members it is time to leave the island... disgruntled members of the public - vote for the other team at the next election!
