Norwood Oval (Not Coopers Stadium) Upgrade

[The Ash Man]

Just heard NFC have been offered $100K from the council for the redevelopment of Norwood Oval
Only $300K left to raise...
Have to have the $300K by Jan or council pull their money...
Heaps of notice!

LMAO, good luck. Hope it happens though. Great venue that really needs some upgrading.

Should be able to do that easily, they have a few mill in the bank.

Dont reckon there's anywhere near that much in the bank, good asset value, but I don't think we'd be overly liquid (obviously moreso than pre NorEast days) ... Hopefully there's enough there for this particular project though.

LMFAO ... When the next house comes up for sale in your world can you let me know mate, I so wanna live there

[bayman]

i hope the sanfl 'lend' them the money so the council doesn't do a back flip on them

i'm thinking along the lines of getting the council to 'pay up' & with blokes like you, wedgie & rob gerrard there was no need for the sanfl to lend north money

Why can't the SANFL give Norwood the money. The SANFL made a $14.7 m profit last year so what is $300k. Surely some of that profit should be provided to maintain and improve SANFL grounds ?

[Killa]

i was told by a source from someone within the club they hve something like 4 mill in the bank from selling old club rooms, then they have a pub as well which opened maybe a year ago i think on north east road. not 100% sure, but norwood has the money

No, it appears my initial thoughts were wrong.

Didn't the SANFL provide each club with money last year to upgrade their facilities - particularly the visitors rooms?? I know Glenelg are using the SANFL money as part of their fundraisng drive to up-grade Glenelg Oval facilities. New visitors changerooms and new gym for the Glenelg players.

Unley, Norwood, Alberton and Unley Oval visitor facilities have all been upgraded in the last 12 months with that money.

Yeah but it's hard seeing down that end from the Hill during the day games too lol ... The Hill is the worst place the view the footy from at Coopers, but the atmosphere is always good.

According to todays paper the upgrade is for lights only to allow Friday night games to be telecast on ABC

[Bluedemon]

arent they best to spend money on getting some proper office's organised instead of being in a house. i would also be surprised if abc would telecast any night games anyway.

Offices built at the ground and the administration has already relocated to them mate.
