Have you taken your concerns to the appropriate people at the stadium - just in case they miss this?

Yes, this weekend.

Yes, it seems that if your observations are correct, some tighter controls are needed but grow up anon and go and voice your anon opinion in an adult manner rather than stir crap for no reason and no benefit for any club. You know I can remember not that many years ago how people would go and have a quiet chat on a reasonable level re an issue like anon's above - why is it that an evil streak rears its ugly head with so many now. Believe me anon, if you last comment applies, you may get some delight and sick satisfaction in seeing a club get dragged through the courts BUT the only losers will be the people that enjoy a drink at ANY stadium and the kids that play - the bar at any stadia is a great money raiser.
Any negative action will flow on to all venues and clubs. What is it that people don't get about the fact that all clubs are needed and are important to this sport? Competition should stay on the floor and a respect for all clubs and teams is sadly wanting.

#110420 fair enough point and it has appeared on most discussion tables over many years. But what really is the difference between a family at a junior game or a family at a senior game - the same level of adult role modelling and responsibility exists and just who does drive home?
Role modelling is a major learning style for kids - they learn more from positive interactions than the opposite and I would think that responsible use of alcohol is easily witnessed and a lesson taught.

#110420 I take it that your opinions would also apply to parents that smoke in front of children?

If this is so, I take it that you are also against burping, farting swearing, speeding in your car and eating unhealthy food in front of children. I guess you should add to your list buying lottery tickets & scratchies (gambling)& over spending on credit cards in front of the kiddies as well.

I have seen the same type of post before on another thread regarding bars in stadiums. You obviously have a problem with the concept of responsible drinking, coupled with the fact that most families that drink in the bars after a match have a designated driver, i.e. wife, husband that does not drink!

The bar at Wayville could hardly be likened to a boozy front bar of some pub. I would say it is one of the most family oriented places to be after junior matches.

Thanks for your social comment, feel free to start another thread on the topic any time you like.

Do you know anything about the state of the aircon in the Wayville bar?

The fun police are alive and well.

Well said magpie. Responsibility lies with each individual - I am so over the social police acting on behalf because of a few idiots. Target them instead of the rest of us just wanting to enjoy a night out.

(#110469) WEEEELLLLLLL your a real bright spark arn't you ANON. Why dont we close all bars in all stadiums because someone MIGHT over indulge.

It would then follow that we should probably also close all canteens in stadiums because some kid could get fat with all the sweets they can buy from there. I brought a hot dog from the woodville canteen on Saturday night, watch out Woodville, if I have a heart attack in a few years time, I will get my estate to sue.

We probably should close all stadiums and ban Bball all together because little Johnny or Sally could fall over and injure themselves.

Get a couple of lives, thought police. Take a look at your selves and think; What is it that could make me stop getting so uptight about the world?

A good place to start would be having a drink on friday nights after Johnny or Sallys match and actually try LIVING LIKE A HUMAN FOR ONCE!

Do you know what is going on with the aircon at the stadium?

For the record I have never smoked, never even tried it & never will. I have been known to burp, & fart on occasions (and blame it on someone else!)

(#110586)totally agree. The bars at the stadiums that have them are the most family freindly place to be after a match. Parents catch up, kids stuff them selves with the platters brought along and everone has a great time.

Wayville, Pasadena (when it was open)North Adelaide, Morphettvale, West Adelaide, they are all great places to hang out with your family on a Friday/ Saturday after a match. The stadiums without bars are IMO are souless after games. Within 10 mins the teams have left.

Gee, fix the aircon would ya!
