FIVEAA Breakfast’s David & Will have been left stunned when Premier Peter Malinauskas revealed he has received a compensation request to move the Sheffield Shield final to Adelaide Oval during the AFL season.

WATCH:

The Premier confirmed the request on FIVEAA Breakfast this morning:

PREMIER: “Yes, we have received a request. It’s not from cricket. I won’t say what entity it is within footy.”

PENBO: “Wouldn’t logic suggest it is the Adelaide Football Club?”

Mr Malinauskas ruled out handing over cash to allow SA to play its Shield final at Adelaide Oval.

“The SA Government has already shown an awful lot of support to both footy clubs locally, particularly the Adelaide Footy Club which has done very well from the support we’ve provided them to be able to see through the issues at Thebarton,” he said.

“I think it’s a little bit galling that people are trying to use an opportunity to look after fans as an opportunity to slug the taxpayer and I won’t be having it.

“I’m not naming any names. I’m just saying my government isn’t going to be giving cash just so they get out of the way of something that everyone thinks should happen.”
