Reopening the stadium upgrade topic

I think don't we have to be worried about scaring off parents with reporting of the poor states of some stadiums, rather keeping them when they first walk in. I used to work at Starplex and the first response of people walking is was wow. As opposed to walking into a Hillcrest and saying wtf, the premier junior competition is run here? (Please note I'm not knocking North). If clubs and the competition expect parents to pay high fees as opposed to school ball or social with same or better facilities, newcomers would have to weigh it up. I was at Woodville last season and we trained at St Michael's primary, fantastic new air conditioned gym but then we had to play at dingy St clair.
Have people like Joey Wright raise awareness. No hidden agendas, but as a parent who wants his kids to play in a safe environment. And don't we have enough committees already. Surely when the president's get together this would have to be one of the main issues members want addressed, not whether aba games are played at home every second Saturday night unless it's a full moon then it has to be played Wednesday but only after 8.
Once Campbelltown is completed, which apparently will take 12 months now, that should take some pressure off with mars maybe taking a lot of the overflow.
The reason I started this topic was to get ideas flowing, not complaining about 1st world issues. I don't get the point of if everywhere else have crap facilities then our crap facilities are good enough then.

Rumour has it that BSA may install new 'retractable' roof at Port Adelaide with split-system air conditioners at end of each court.
