In this Mornings Age i read...Carlton on average make 50c per person per game at the Docklands Stadium at the Minute.

Footscray make $1 per person.

What is our new deal with the M.C.C. per person per seat, now we have re aligned.Does anybody know?

Very Important i believe.

WYL - You know how to brighten up peoples morning!

50% descrepancy for the Vi$y FC. Gota love it! I still can't believe more of that ex carlton board member and his dodgey vested interest dealings re AFL/Docklands/Food vendors has not had more air time.

:o I just hope our deal is better with the MCC!

Is the deal with us or the AFL?

As a separate legal entity, MFC are not financial going concern. The AFL would have to acquiensce on any strategic deals I would have thought.

But it would be nice for the MCC to provide MFC with a cosy deal. I am not sure it is as simple as that though.

The Age highlights the incredible financial gulf between the top financial clubs and relative basket cases like MFC.

It is so much harder for MFC to compete against the big boys and its getting harder. If and I hope when MFC wins another flag it will be an incredible battle against steep odds that include finances and season draws

Some clown (Wayne Jackson - ex AFL president) on the radio this morning is running with the story that there are too many teams in Melbourne & therefore, Melbourne & North should merge.

Was this a grand plan by WJ to set up poor Stadium deals, to get rid of Vic teams.

WJ you have no idea of the power of Vic footy supporters. I would guess if we had a choice of merge or die, I would rather die. There is only one MFC, THE D's, the Red legs. I would give up AFL. Shame on you WJ. the AFL my be a business, but the MFC is my life, WJ forgets this that most supporters from all clubs feel the same way. What if MFC had to merge with Eddiewood. :wacko:

I would have thought now we are re aligned with the MCC (even if it is only on paper( that they would want us to be competitive at the very least.

would certainly hope so otherwise the future is dark. The Stadium deal figures coming out over the last 2 days are a disgrace, those allowing such a situation should be Hung drawn & Quartered.

Hopefully our new CEO will set up a solid on going Contract. Schwabb is a very shrewd business man, but our position will test him right oput.

This deal (in my eyes) has always been symbolic. The word "financial" appears in the agreement, however, the details are not explained. If we ever find ourselves in deep financial strife once again & on the verge of collapse - God forbid - I doubt the MCC would become our white knight!!!

If we ever do find ourselves in deep financial strife it could well be because we do not have a strong deal with the MCG match day $$ Therefore i am hoping the Cricket Club have that in mind.

20% of us MCC Members do Have Red & Blue Blood in our veins & i want a good slice of my subscription to go to the Football club.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
