In simple picture form, here is what will be happening to the Olympic Park Precinct

So people will be able to see Melbourne train from Punt Road? Luckily I am changing jobs and won't be travelly home that way for much longer. I would have caused some traffic jams.

Thanks for that,pity we didn't snag Olympic Park

Just being settled and having goal posts will go a long way to our future success.

thanks for that.

Just 1 questions does that mean collingwood train on the Storms ground?

I go past the site every couple of days and it's encouraging to see it's progress. All the major excavation is well and truly completed, the concrete lift wells are completed and the stands are starting to take shape as they have concrete in place and you can kind of imagine what it'll look like now.

Despite all of Bracks's lack of decision making delaying this project, it seems ahead of shedule.

I'll try to take some photo's to post in the next week or so.

thanks for that.

On thier current ground yes, but Storm will be playing at the new rectangular stadium by that time (where melbournes headquarters and training facilities are).

I thought we would be sharing the old Olympic Park ground with the filth?

From memory that was how it was reported in media. I must be wrong?

Yep you are..we are /were never going to share with the filth. The media gets a little confused at times...poor dears.

I am curious as to why the Filths training oval needs "grandstands " ?

Somewhere for their fans to sleep?

Collingwood want small stands so they can host VFL matches there

Somewhere for their fans to sleep?

should have thought gutters perfectly adequate

But seriously..why any grandstands?

BB: read above

It could be made into a boutique stadium, holding say around 28 thousand. We could play low drawing interstate sides there make a decent amount. And it would [censored] the filith off no end to nick there training ground, this alone could make it worth while.

You're dead right.

There is no room, Batman Avenue is right against OP.

As I dont 'know" I'l ask. Who wil actually control teh new facilities to be built on Olympic park ? Will Filthville own some lease. Or will they be a head tenant of sorts. Just curious .. Cheers

Gosch's Paddock doesn't look like a very inviting place to train in that pic!
