Glenelg Lights hit big hurdle

Must be Norwood, as Centrals have not been informed of any problems after night games at Elizabeth.

However it is interesting that the residents are OK with drunks from Jetty Road.

Centrals have been informed of problems during games though.....


very poor excuse to hide is own anti progress agenda. must be looking to get his mug on the telly...

Not the issue here!!! And those issues are well managed, not as bad as some would have you believe.

Agreed.

Exactly. I have never seen any untoward behaviour nor heard of any following a Glenelg game. However the square down the end of Jetty Road, well that's another story...

Perhaps they are scared of seeing Punk at night, walking along with his box of matches

Perhaps it is just a way for this guy to make it more difficult, but the question remains, do you put the entire project in doubt for the sake of a few dollars, or are this guys claims untrue? Wouldn't it be great for the club to bite the bullet, tell this guy they'll do as he's asked and then see whether he comes up with something else. One objection doesn't look too bad. However, to come up with another one would be very embarrassing for him.

The only problem i have encountered when there has been a night game at Elizabeth, is the Red Rooster runs out of chicken a lot earlier......

I doubt he has the technical knowledge or has paid for a technical report to be prepared on the set up and ongoing costs of his alternative. Its $6 per hour more expensive to run (on his numbers) but who knows how much it costs to set up instead of normal powered lights?

If it was only a few dollars either way I doubt an anti-lights councillor would even have suggested it (it would effectively become a yes vote for the project) and I doubt it would have been dismissed so quickly by the club.

I suspect everyone knows, including the councillor, that wind-powered energy is not a realistic scenario financially for 4 or 6 light towers on a suburban oval. You are giving him the benefit of the doubt .... I however think that the green-house gas emissions of the lights is not top of his of concerns about the project.

But I could be wrong. Do we have any engineers on this site?

Oh, I don't know about that... Get Cr. Looker to deliver his speeches in front of a fan-powered turbine and you could probably generate enough energy to run a small city...

Personally, I wonder if he has been as considered in the past to knock back the Glenelg Football club's hospitality (free tickets, food and grog) offered to Holdfast Bay Councillors on match days as he has been knocking back this Glenelg Pootball Club proposal....
