Who would be using it?

What sort of a competition do they have up there, social or fair serious?

I hope that doesnt mean we have to start playing out there now.. mt barker is far enough

"Mt Barker is far enough" give me a break. Mt Barker is 20 mins from the city. How long does it take you to get to Starplex, or Noarlunga, or Pt Adelaide??? You city slickers give me the sh!ts

I credit the country players who travel hours to play i really do, but when your on a team of 10 that cant play as a team and you have to travel an hour and 15mins to get to the stadium to play half a game or less.... then travel a good hour and a bit home you just get pretty sh1tty.

From the city, it is the same distance or more to pt Adel, Noarlunga and Starplex than it is to Barker. Hillcrest, Mars, Marion, Clipsal, wayville, pasadena are all reasonable distances, but all you can do is slag Barker. We (players who live in the hills, not far country) have to travel the same distance to your home stadium as you do to ours.

back to the thread. How far along are the plans for the stadium? Are they set in concrete yet? Any details know?

That would be a pretty awesome stadium, have the plans be finalised or is it still in the air?

If you want to play serious ball the distant you travel shouldn't matter!!

mt barker is hardly country nowdays - so just accept it the same as starplex to a tiger or morphett vale to a lion.

spare a thought for the navericks that never get a saturday morning at home.

I acknowledge the travelling done by many on game day - but that is what makes district district - not just local a grade social

go to the web site - www.murray pioneer - on line - there is a current news article about it

berri basketball team will be based there - with obvious use by schools

there is plans also for a pool to be included

berri basketball club is part of the riverland association

it is just odd 7,500 people get a swanky stadium for a school of 750 kids as well - and we have to play in noah's arks in adelaide

not that I deny berri their stadium - the country deserves it - but let's get some renovations going here

i know it is from a different kitty - but something seems out of kilter

Sounds like berri will have one of the states best stadiums... no where your coming from "statue of liberty " but them the breaks of playing basketball at this level im sure " country kid " you have a bitch about coming to the starplex same as we do going to mt barker them the breaks of playing at this level

The truth - your half right, if you want to play competitive basketball you gotta travel.

Yeah its bout time a staduim got built in Berri, only about 10 years to late however, would've been awesome if the raiders were still around. Considering that the berri basketball club has been playing at a shitty high school gym for the last 15 years I think we deserve a new gym. It will also be used by other cummunity groups like netball and volleyball and the high school etc. Speaking from experience playing out of the high school gym all my career has been crap so it's bout time Berri players get a chance to have a decent home stadium, it will be the best thing to happen to Riverland basketball since the Raiders were formed.
