Dome fit for the the 21st century?

or EFTPOS being down.

Adelaide does have a Dickensian feel about it though. Sort of Bleak House meets Great Expectations.

Although Dickens never wrote about serial killers and bodies in barrels as far as I know.

We already knew there is no money in Adelaide.

Now it's confirmed there's no bandwidth either.

Same time, but 15 years behind.

Haha the Clipsal Powerhouse was built in the early 90s and still the best stadium for “basketball” in the country.

I’ve been to Hisense, state hockey or wherever the tigers used to play, been to Perth Arena, been to cairns also been to see a game in the Sydney super dome at Homebush. Adelaide’s “purpose built basketball arena” is a great venue to watch basketball.

In the long term Basketball will be played in the city ,
next to Adelaide oval at Memorial Drive , with the Adelaide Crows owning the 36ers.....

If they're all 3G EFTPOS machines then you're just asking for trouble.

Here’s an idea .

Be prepared and carry some cash in your wallet. There is always risks of technical failures.

Stop being brats. This could happen anywhere and anytime. Only a fool relies on 1
source for anything in life.

Get over yourselves.

Ushiro has the correct answer.
"It's a LAN issue".... that's so funny
Build in the capacity. So the DOME isn't 21st Century ready at all.

"Melbourne supporters' shaking their heads as they walked away saying 'that's Adelaide for you' is NOT a great look."

Melbourne people are so dumb. In time warp Adelaide cash is king.

I’m not sure it was an issue because of phones. I heard the employees talk about WiFi issues also. Regardless, it was a joke. Especially when one girl serving drinks was holding the EFTPOS above her head shaking it with a card in it for about 5 minutes. If it’s a phone issue, then how do AFL stadiums handle it?

The only reason your shops open late in Fitzroy is because you losers have to work 2 jobs to pay your rent haha

#beentoportwillungabeach?

Must be a LAN issue. Cough cough

Years ago, when the South Dragons co existed with the Tigers, Vodafine Arena brought in eftpos and it sucked badly. Your ice cream melted before you even got the third attempt on your eftpos and its winter.

For possibly the biggest game of the year, they need to rectify but, cash is all powerful. The fault is really on the user. You've become too accustomed to swiping your card for everything. Cash is still relevant

Im from Adelaide, defend Adelaide as a state as much as possible, but agree this is a very amateur look. And sadly, its 'so Adelaide' in many peoples minds. Get the simple shit sorted!

Dehydrate the opposition fans. It’s all part of the bigger picture

Its actually the scout arena guys, and you know their motto. ...... cash only

I base my opinion of Melbourne fans solely on the behaviour of Brendan Fevola.

But I digress.

^ hahahaha, shots fired!

I think you have the wrong thread, anon.

May I direct you to this: https://www.hoops.com.au/forum/42920-nbl-grand-final-game-3264-pre-game-fan-banter/

It’s the broke Melbourne losers with no cash, just credit cards racking up debt because they’re paying $800,000 for a shoebox in a shitty apartment while we sip on champagne down Henley beach

Basing your opinion of Adelaide on the eftpos machine at 1 venue says more about Melbournians than it does Adelaide IMO.

How about the female Melbourne fan who wore sunnies throughout the whole game...should we base our opinions of all Melbournians based on her?

It's an Arena now, they realised a while ago that the Dome wasn't at all Dome-like.

EFTPOS down is a terrible look though, and i'd be interested to know the cause. It must surely be a LAN issue, and a costly and embarrassing time for it to occur.

Adelaide 36ers guard Nathan Crosswell this afternoon ruptured his Achilles during the game in the third quarter in a collision against the Breakers.
