Footy set to resume at Richmond Oval

By ZAC MILBANK

West Adelaide is set to resume playing at Richmond Oval when it hosts Woodville-West Torrens in Hostplus SANFL League and Reserves matches on Saturday June 27.

The Bloods will have two temporary changerooms installed for the rest of the season after extreme water damage to their existing facility forced the relocation of home matches since May 23.

A separate gym, umpires changeroom and toilet facilities will also be in place at Milner Road until the end of the Bloods’ 2027 campaign as Nathan Bassett’s charges prepare to face the Eagles later this month.

At the end of 2027, West Torrens Council is planning a redevelopment of the B.K. Faehse Grandstand which includes new changeroom facilities, detailed plans available for viewing in the link below.

West’s AAMI Talent League U18 and U16 teams will next play at Richmond Oval on Saturday July 4 whilst the next Hostplus SANFLW League contest will be on Sunday July 19 when the Bloods host North Adelaide.

All matches have been relocated from Richmond Oval since May 23, including Hostplus SANFL League contests against South Adelaide on May 23 (Magain Stadium) and North Adelaide this Saturday June 6 (Revo Fitness Oval).
