WRIGHT House of Assembly Lee Minister for Police Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Recreation ADELAIDE UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:23): I can inform the house that the government, in partnership with the Adelaide City Council, has organised the Go Reds! live site. Adelaide United Soccer fans will be able to watch the club's historic Asian championship league final matches live on 5 and 12 November at Elder Park on a giant screen. Adelaide United has every reason to be thrilled and proud of their efforts. Their achievement is even more outstanding considering their gruelling match draw, which has seen the team visit every corner of Asia in between rounds of the A League. The Go Reds! live site will be a focal point for thousands of fans in what will be a great family friendly atmosphere in the heart of the city. This event could not have gone ahead without the tremendous support of the Adelaide City Council, Adelaide United Football Club, the Football Federation of Australia, Foxtel and the SAJC. The city council will be providing a number of services to ensure Elder Park is at its best and caters for the thousands of fans who are expected to watch the two matches. On behalf of the government, I would like to thank Foxtel for allowing their exclusive coverage of the ACL matches to be broadcast at Elder Park on the giant screen. I also wish to acknowledge the SAJC for providing their giant screen to be used at Elder Park. The match on 5 November will kick off at 8.30pm next Wednesday, when Gamba Osaka host the Reds in Japan; and it is a 7.30pm start for the home leg on Wednesday 12 November. Information regarding the fan site will be available on the Adelaide United, Adelaide City Council and the Office for Sport and Recreation websites. I would like to thank all the parties involved in the Go Reds! live site. I encourage United fans to come along and watch both matches at Elder Park to show their support.
