you are joking about BSA doing anything positive aren't you? too much done for some clubs and not enough for others. Investments made at both Southern and Norwood recently, yet nothing for the rest of the district clubs.
continuity and transparency for all, i think not.

Perhaps when they move into Wayville they might spend a dollar or two to fix the roof, and god forbid they may even think about aircon for pasadeana and wayville as well?
it costs nothing to dream i guess.

Well said -Anon 279969-
Why would some give up the opportunity to fire a cheap shot at BSA?
Yes- they deserve some bullets at times, but don't shoot the innocent parties without ascertaining the facts first?
Who looks stupid now?

BSA are just the major tenants. The Royal Adelaide Show Society are the landlords and responsible for upkeep. The tenant has a responsibility to report defects to the landlord, which I assume a competent organisation like BSA have.

The courts are used by Sports Centre,but due to a tight ass manager,he wont bother with it,been ongoing problem with stadium for years and therefor it wont be fixed,they pass buck onto showground people but they dont run stadium for their own functions only except when the show is on.People travel along way to games yet to be cancelled.I believe this is the only stadium leaking .They have social games there but games are run and not cancelled and continued,too high risk,players have decided not to play get slugged with a fine with is rediclous.

Let's hope it pisses down in September during the Show and some of the "precious poochies" get wet in the Dog Kennel, then some attention will b e given to the problems!

jump shot - what was the investment at norwood?

Rumours abound that BSA have a "secret" JDO in Norwood's zone to assist in getting the Saturday Domestic Comp up and runninf=g.
When will other clubs such as North and West be offered such free financial asistance?
Will BSA announce how many JDO's are really out there at the meeting on Thursday?

Manager continually reports AND FOLLOWS UP leaks, damage etc to Showgrounds.
Suggest people get facts right before commenting, not go on second, third or fourth hand reports - often made by people who were not present when situation occurred.

It is an occupational health safety and welfare issue - fines could be up to $10,000.00 for the invididual for not reporting the hazard. And if they are reporting it, why then is it still being used. Then the onus for blame is back on the Wayville showgrounds and the fine for them would be greater than $10,000.00.

Teams played games there the last time it rained. And each team had to provide parents for each quarter to stand under the ring with a broom stick with a tarp thing on the end of it to make sure the rain diverted away from the court.

Now if a kid breaks his or her neck because of a slippery floor who is responsible?. Wayville showgrounds? - perhaps someone should show them the comments on this thread might wake them up!

And perhaps they need to take the roof off fully and fix it before someone is seriously injured.

my understanding (secondary source) was that friday night was actually flooding, not rainfall. Water built up under the floor and with extra rainfall friday night, came up through the floor.

Hopefully it's correct weight, as flooding will be easier to fix than removing the roof.

Wow...of course we all remember the last time some poor kid in Adelaide slipped on a wet floor and broke his/ her neck while playing B/ ball....dont we?...No?....COZ ITS JUST AN OVER REACTION....thats why...

Ignoramus Girl.....the same as I have seen kids get their front two teeth knocked out playing basketball, broken arms, chipped bones, concussions, add in some water that SHOULD NOT BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE and the risk increases! Why do you think people can get fined for it?? Get in the real world. Injuries happen all the time. And who are you the "sooth sayer" that you know that it wont. PS and breaking you neck or doing another injury to your head that can kill you is a possibility in any sport and if kids are playing basketball they dont expect that their will be water dripping from the roof or seeping up though the floor increasing the risk of injury.

Yup....understand all of that Anon....WOW u sure are quick to get personal aint you?...what ever does it for ya I guess!! although, maybe in future it would be easier for me if u space out the words more.....so I can U N D E R S T A N D them....

I fully understand the risk of injury...not saying to go ahead and play on a slippery surface; however while we are all talking litigation and $10k fines and slack stadium managers...throw in a corporate entity who dont seem to understand the importance of regular maintenance....lets all cast our minds back to the last poor kid that got seriously injured due to this particular problem on court 1 at Wayville shall we...

Yeah....cue the sound of crickets chirping....and rusty head cogs trying to turn. Weather by luck or good management....it HAS NOT HAPPENED...so just calm down a tad big boy and let the situation be continually managed to the best of the club in questions abilities while they have no say in what happens...shall we...

Was all good tonight- no real signs of problems (8pm), so all good.
