MA Hawks Football Club in South Australia fears it will lose its longstanding home if the proposed Adelaide Crows Football Club lease agreement for the Thebarton Oval Precinct goes ahead, The Advertiser has reported.
The precinct’s Kings Reserve has been home to the MA Hawks FC for 20 years.
But on Monday night, the West Torrens Council voted 8-4 for the $85 million project to proceed. Under the plans, there would be two ovals that the Crows would use for training. The community would have access at other times.
President of the MA Hawks FC, Peter Bouras, said no one has spoken to him about what impact the proposal for the Crows to lease the area would have on his club.
“We may lose our home – Kings Reserve reflects our club,” Mr Bouras said.
Mr Bouras did acknowledge though that there were some benefits to the redevelopment plan.
“Improving the surface conditions, improving the environment, cleaning it up and making it more aesthetically appealing is favourable,” he said.
