Re: Saints Five Million dollars in debt

Hi all, Wish the Saints well in this debt issue. In terms of the Saints Coterie Club/Cashed-up Powerbrokers, who have the Saints got (besides L Fox?) As someone else said, Geelong is outside Melb and a different kettle of fish, if any Govt Dept gave the Western Bulldogs $50 Mill, then I’d be aggriev...

Re: Wellington is it working??

I heard Nathan Burke on the radio say that last year the crowd of 15000 was financially the equivalent of ( I might get this a little wrong) 3 Home games at the MCG and 6-7 Home games at Etihad. So that alone means Yes it is working......... I think he said it was 1/3 of our attendance revenue for ...

Re: Wellington is it working??

As prespective, how much did the Wellngton-Sydney A-league game get yesterday? 13,248 for the A-league So a home team which plays half their matches in NZ couldn't drawn more than an extra thousand people... We need to stick with it over there - once our performance turns around and Billings and Mc...

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly

I think only Saints supporters should be allowed to post on here. Agreed. Fancy seeing these type of comments from you two on this. A bit upset now, are we? Can't handle a bit of free speech hey? You both want to go down the Essendon route of silence and cover-up, because someone says something you...

Re: Who's going to Welly??

Sainters will win this, Carlton is nothing at present (have to say it).

Plenty of strip clubs down Courtenay Place, Wellington too (have to say that also :).

Nice place when the wind is not blowing a friggin' Antractic gale.

Re: Etihad roof to remain open on sunny days

I remember being at the 2007 A-League Grand Final at Etihad it was the one where Archie Thompson scored 5 goals. It was 6pm, mid-Feb and the roof was half open, it seemed to work that evening. In saying all that, what a bloody debacle that Waverley was sold off. Should never had been sold, Etihad ha...

The sad part is that I miss the ilk of Dunstall and Lockett, bring back players of that type! Both were champs!

Re: Screwed over by Etihad - thanks Jimmy!

I seem to remember at the time a huge AFL drive to shut down all suburban grounds - around this time Carlton were basically gang pressed to give up Princes Park - and it seemed like if we agreed to move to Docklands, the place would be more set up as our home than the G was. We know now that it was...

Re: 2015 Sponsorship - Who should we sponsor?

What is the minimum/maximum $$ rate to enter this? I think it's about $20 per share from memory. I don't think there is a maximum amount you can put in, they would just get another player if too much is collected. MM pays for it up front so make sure that if you pledge money you pay up though. For ...

The same thing is being discussed by Melbourne Victory, as he is there also. He 'apparently' was the real negotiator who got Ange P to the Victory.

Re: Saints shafted in free to air exposure

Free to Air TV is s.h.i.t these days anyway, Foxtel is where it’s at. Pay the extra, get 9/9 channels of wall to wall sport, 24/7. And the ladies that Fox Sports use on Channel 500 (Fox Sports News) are usually good to look at too.

Re: Anzac Day 2015 -

I went to an event at Westpace Stadium in about 2011. Despite the fact the wind in Wellington is ice cold, even in November (it makes Melbourne look like the tropics) it’s a nice city to visit for a few days. I’d recommend the trip.

Re: The Club Needs A Place To Call Home

Hi all, My 2 cents on this: The Saints should not have left Moorabbin, a good, central (ish) suburban location and (I’m sure this crew knows more than me) but apparently the Saints left on bad terms with Kingston City Council, which is not good. The Saints should be setting itself up as the club whe...
