A lot of young families can only choose one event to attend and the crows take preference at times over the SANFL team. Westies is a proud club and time will tell on our survival. It was mismanaged for years by a former individual at the club but I am not willing to go there.
If we look at the areas allocated to West Adelaide across the suburbs, areas that contain decent numbers of young families are getting more difficult to find, i am guessing Aberfoyle Park if that is not Glenelgs area is probably their best bet for that demographic, some way from the club.
Pretty sure its been brought up before about West Adelaide having a venue at Aberfoyle Park to tap into that group of people and also for the fact that venues in the outer suburbs do better $$$ than many in inner suburbs via the Pokies. Its a great idea but needs a pretty fair injection of capital which they don't have on hand, not unlike the hole in the bucket scenario.
