Call for new $4M Hillcrest Stadium
Western Suburbs, you are right if you draw the line North/South but if you draw it NE/NW then the Dome is somewhere around the middle.

Forman, there is already a large facility approximately half way between Hillcrest and Port Adelaide, its called the Dome. You can't amalgamate two clubs to a location halfway between each other because its district basketball and what you are doing is removing 2 district clubs and creating a new district club somewhere else. In this case you would have 3 district clubs all together in one area (Woodville). Families of either of these 2 club are not going to travel much longer distances on a regular basis when they take their children to training.

Morphett Vale Stadium redevelopment due to begin- Dec 09. Four courts, new entrance, better facilities, new floors. Should end up a great stadium. Agree that Marion and Port and Hillcrest need some help but I thought that Marion council were looking at a whole new stadium on Sturt Road? Perhaps the uncertaincy about basketball in the state- ie the 36ers saga- means some councils are wary of a lot of expenditure on new stadiums.

With somewhere like Port Adelaide, Do you think a revamp may be just as good? get some decent flooring and new backboards and rings? surley that would be a start, and at a reduced cost.

"If you were a parent looking around for a sport for your child and went into Hillcrest ... then went into a venue for another sport that's all brand new, what would you choose?" he said.
Is that why some many North players are heading for the better Centrals courts?
