My late MUM used to 😍 shopping there when I was about 10 yoa, not that she could afford it, I think it was more like a day out for her.

On this day in 1977, if it wasn’t the birth of the Packer circus, it was certainly the moment the waters broke.
After months of secret meetings, heated arguments, and endless speculation, World Series Cricket finally stepped into the spotlight. With traditional cricket authorities shutting their gates, the opening matches were forced to unfold at Adelaide’s Football Park and Melbourne’s VFL Park.

In Melbourne, Mike Procter delivered the very first ball of this bold experiment to Rick McCosker, watched by just 2,449 curious spectators.
Later that evening, Ian Chappell marked the occasion in style with a commanding unbeaten 118.
Over in Adelaide, only about 1,000 fans turned up—but little did they know they were witnessing the start of a revolution that would reshape the sport forever.

ALDERMAN GOES DOWN
Terry Alderman had starred in Australia’s losing 1981 Ashes tour and was only 26 and had the world at his feet when disaster struck during his home Test at the WACA late the following year.

Young English spectator Gary Donnison invaded the arena, hitting Alderman in the back of the head.
A peeved Alderman chased after him, seriously injuring his shoulder in the process.

Alderman missed a year of cricket as a result, while Donnison was fined $500 and handed 200 hours of community service.
