Is there any development in the Panthers new stadium development,i suggest they move into the closed down woolworths at harbor town,& convert it into a basketball center.Lots of courts,plenty of parking,in the recruitment area.
They can't even select decent coaches for any of their teams, how do you expect that committee to get a new stadium
Cant see BSA or Marion council putting in a new 2 court floor @ $300,000 plus then moving to a new complex? Doesn't seem smart but then BSA aren't exactly known for kicking goals in these areas.

Given the floors have been re-done there is no way they move for a while (which is a shame).
They should have grabbed the old Masters site next to Ikea. That would have been perfect.

whilst both of those venues would be great - it's too far into Forestville's area - I know there are no boundaries or zones. Marion / Seaview Downs way is ok spot.
They've been getting a new stadium for the last 25 years. Never happens. Every now and then there is some sabre rattling, but never happens. And yes, with a new floor, they aren't going anywhere soon. West in same boat.

South IS getting a new stadium.
The Marion council has offered $10 million whilst the federal government has offered $5 million. So they finally have the funding and commitment to get it done. I imagine they are in the planning stage now.
The location will be at Mitchell Park Sports and Community Club. The Mayor of Marion Kris Hanna said it will take about 3 years to be completed (He said that about half a year ago). I believe it will be 4 courts and the existing 2 courts will be used after completion.
south been getting a new stadium since i played, 30 years ago
