Lol it's official dedes is a nutcase

You would be surprised how many 'ethnics' live in Elizabeth. Ethnics is a dated term that doesn't mean anything. I don't see anyone else turning some training facilities into an ethnic issue

The reason it's Elizabeth is it's cheap. Griffin is nothing if not a smart businessman

I'm just glad it's happening at all. Shows progress

clearly they're nearly broke and cant afford anything closer in

highlights also the divide between the elitist Hyundai franchises and the local clubs that some sharing arrangement for a training ground tenancy could never be reached

How is establishing a training base disenfranchising their support?

Thank you for the input .
I think it is a good move.
Great for Playford.

i'm not against it.
i dont care where they go, however if they think they're going to rep the whole state then this will only further reduce their dwindling following.

forget about any players commuting from the southern suburbs

I would hazard a guess that more than 40% of Adelaide's population would live north of Regency Road.

And, what's your point?

As has already been clearly pointed out (though you may be confused), they will still be playing out of hindmarsh - or isn't that central enough for you?

How often do supporters go to watch them train?


AC Milan train 46kms from San Siro. Are they disenfranchising their fans?

Man Utd train 7 miles west of Old Trafford. Are they disenfranchising their London-based fans?

players have to train somewhere and it wont or will rarely be at Hindmarsh
if the franchise ever decides to pretend its some kind of club, then clubrooms are usually located at the site of the admin and training facility

Perth Glory?
Melbourne Victory?
Melbourne City?
Central Coast?
Newcastle Jets?
Brisbane Roar?

Yet somehow he's still in business, and another disgruntled employee has disappeared into anonymity.
(Was it you or your dad that used to work for him?)

I just thought that if you or a family member were the disgruntled employee it would explain a lot.
I mean you'd be hard pressed to find a successful businessman who hasn't been sued by someone, whether an ex-employee, a customer or a supplier.
