Not to mention we currently sell a home game to Canberra, after years of selling it to Brisbane.

Clearly Casey is a better option that either of these two

All this talk is looking at the way Melbourne has been running. If we are to survive we as a club must play good footy, If this can be achieved for a length of time then the crowds will come to the 'G. Slowly at first yes, but momentum must be fuelled.

If we indulge in a boutique stadium situation, clubs like The Filth will eat away at our space. I come from the "Aim High" school of thinking and as this club bares the name of my city I expect most of our games be played there. Train in Springvale as much as you like. But we must aim to get at least 45,000 people to each game in the future.

As i have said before, there is another boutique stadium at the Docklands (with a roof, great for a wet day) but as we all know MFC Supporters don't go there.

Why would they all of a sudden drive to springvale??? Imagine how many people would go out there if we played similiar football to 2008. It would be cold & Barron out there. The AFL would have a field day.

Persoonally i would like to watch the Interstate clubs feel very Threatened in front of 45,000 MFC Supporters at the Home of Football. I beleive the club can get there, even if other posters here don't.

It would be cold & Barron out there.

Interesting spelling of barren, and with a capital B. Like someone's name.

Why would the AFL have a field day if it was cold and barren at Casey Fields? The AFL is investigating a 3rd Melbourne stadium (a smaller boutique stadium) for playing interstate clubs.

If Melbourne Football Club played uncompetitive football out in the suburbs in front of a nothing crowd. That would be it. Finished Dead & Gone. Why should the Interstate clubs be allowed to play in a toy ground rather than the Intimidating MCG? Maybe we could play the Power at Therbarton as a recipricol. This whole Talk is ludicrous. Geelong can do it because its been there Home Ground for nearly 100 years. The MFC helped Build the MCG and that should remembered by all. The article Caro Wilson wrote yesterday was music to my ears.

Correct. It is this very reason that they make so much money from it as their supporters are forced to upgrade to reserve seat memberships, something a Demon member only does for the love of the club. Here's my thinking. You buy your MFC membership for $150, this gives you entry to all home games. 9 at the MCG and 3 at Casey(if you can get in). Or you spend $350 and you get reserve seat at MCG and Casey plus entry into any MFC games where we are the away side. This combined with some good form and you can see why the Cats are making money. It's possible. Does anyone know what it costs to build a 20,000 seat stadium with match day facilities

Understand Roost It. But why spend $350, when you a guaranteed a seat at the G anyway. Proposing entry into away games the mfc is playing is incentive though to take this option.
