It probably is not a good idea to move now, but I think future blockbuster like games need to be moved there. The club will not move forward financially if it does not have at least one or two 60,000 + crowds a year. Financially it makes sense as the returns are higher at the MCG It's good for the b...

27. Fell in lovc with the Saints when we moved to Wheelers Hill in 1992... just a coincidence that I also fell in love with a certain Amanda who may have followed the Saints. That we nowhere but the love affair with the Saints is stronger than ever.

I vaguely remember that the AFL underwrote our home crowds to a certain figure...eg. 33,000 regardless of how many people we did attract. Any excess profit gained over that was then handed to the AFL. It was an issue I think a couple of years ago as we were pulling in crowds much larger but not prof...

I won't be at home at all this weekend, but, without wishing to get into the debate, I would not participate even if I was. McMansionvillism is spreading from the plains to the mountains. Its not spreading as fast as the great global warming scare tactic/scam. "Oh no, the ice caps may melt in ...

we are told by the club what to wear. is that, "Hideous looking shirts that are 3 sizes to big, accompanied by un-matching pants/shorts, making sure that no two people are wearing the same thing, as to try looked as un-unified and as much of a rabble as possible"? cos you guys succeeded I...

Maybe the Gold Coast Concrete Jungle Fever? or

West Sydney Paupers...with the motto: Ghetto and proud.

I think in theory it sounds good, but it would have to be managed carefully. The last thing anyone wants is a financial basket case that needs to be propped up AKA Sydney style. Ideally you would have groups in place with existing infrastructure such as a training base, supporters and business conne...

Probably the same as last year, one game a week and a highlights package twice a week. Oh well it's better then nothing...not much better but better.

Ansett Cup...it's a long way from 1997. The Wizard Cup in 2004....kinda looked like a giant mixing bowl...and Maybe the NAB Cup in 2008??? Would gladly see all 3 handed back if we had the chance to play in GF and win another real cup. :wink: Lets not forget the $1m bonus for winning preseason cup an...

I like it....and I like their new logo.

Wow - that is a huge sum of money.

http://www.telstrastadium.com.au/

The web address is still the same but the banner at the top of the page and all stadium references throughout indicate a name change.

I think Telstra Dome will be changing soon, Telstra is apparently redirecting the sponsorship money to community level initiatives.

Sorry don't know how to make the picture larger and keep the quality high. If you click on the link above you can see the picture better.

Has anyone seen the guernseythe players are wearing at the press conference yesterday to announce the new sponsorship? The middle strip looks thinner and the thin black line has been removed from the white piping. Has anyone seen this design before? Has the club updated the design of the home and aw...

I lik the the Amaroo red "Crusader" design. Thought I'd share.

There are some sweet as designs on this thread, it would be nice for the club to acknowledge the dialogue here and properly consider the design with all of the clubs 134 year history in mind and not some 5 second job that ticks town halls boxes.

I would rather stronger financial returns from home games at the Dome from more diverse streams of revenue....or.... We need at least one (preferably 2) blockbusters at the MCG against another Melbourne team. Yes the Dome is great and has had good results on the field for us...but off the field a 55...

Kinda sucks that they have been put in this position...how many times has our club come close to that? Let's not kid ourselves in thinking it can't happen to us either. The new home in Frankston goes a long way in securing the clubs future, but the fact is revenue is woefully low as is non football...

Anything has to be better then the travisty the club forced on us this year.

Fair call Joffa, it will be interesting to see what the fall out will be after the EAGM. I am grateful to Rod and his board for boosting the clubs fortunes...what a breath of fresh air it is that a challenge to the current administration is not focused on "saving the club" and wiping of ac...
