Loyal is fundamentally correct imho. I hope he's right.
Re-developing Linton St and keeping aligned with Sandy would be far better than running off to Frankston.
We have a fine practice oval - close to the city. We have a "head quarters". What we need is training fac's. Simple, build some where the old stands are/were. Done. Then concentrate on the footy
AOK, loyal has no idea what he/she is talking about.
We can all make sweeping statements about what would be 'great' for the club. Its easy to select a 'solution' and type it on a web site. E.g.:
- Why don't we redevelop the junction oval go back to our heartland?
- Why don't we build our head quarters on the top 5 floors of 101 Collins Street, and a set up training oval at the Treasury gardens?
You get the picture.
We are not BHP Billiton, we do not have millions of dollars of cash reserves to spend on lawyers, lobbists, architectects, etc to try to push a plan through to get a 'prime' location for our new base, AND then use more money to build and effectively manage the project to completion.
The previous admin spent 100s of thousands of dollars trying to get moorabbin council to agreed to a redevelopment, and failed.
You must realise that a large construction project is a very complex endevour. You need to get many different bodies & people to agree to the plan, many with different agenda and interests.
We don't have the luxury to waste more time & money in the blind hope that we may get a 'better' option somewhere else.
That is for people that live in a fantasy world....such as loyal and B4E.
