Casey Fields Extension for MFC - Perspective Views


casey scorp

Recommended Posts

When is it the construction due for completion? early next year?

If everything goes according to schedule, and an acceptable tender price is received, March 2010.

Are they going to increase the balcony or another Casey Scorp??

No balcony extension - the facilities are all admin upstairs (with offices looking out over the ground, some of which will be used on match day as coaches boxes, media etc). Extending the balcony in front of those offices would obscure the view of play from the offices.

Tenders are to be called tomorrow for the pavilion extension. There are perspective drawings on the Casey website which show the size of the extension relative to the existing building.

Things just get better and better, all we need now is a fully enclosed ground, do you think the council would come to the party?

Anyone know what they're opening at Casey Fields today?

The Minister of Sport is opening the new spectator facilities on the outer side of the ground, prior to the main game which starts at 1:10pm.

The facilities are:

* covered terracing either side of the scoreboard

* canteen

* toilets

* a scoreboard on the grandstand side so that spectators on the outer side can see the score.

I don't want to sound critical here but I went to the Casey game last week and those facilities on the outer side of the ground appear to have very little going for them in terms of spectator amenities and offer no shelter from the elements. You would have to be a very hardy soul if you were going to be watching the game from there today with the high wind chill factor. It might be pleasant there on a nice summer's day but I thought this ground was supposed to be catering for winter sport.

I was also disappointed that the portable seating on the hff was removed. Standing in the void left behind was a bit of a risky proposition because a group of little leaguers decided to have some match practice among the spectators. It was good fun avoiding their errant kicks. So, if I venture out there today I think I might take advantage of the social club and watch from the balcony (hopefully, they keep kids with footies out of there :rolleyes: !)

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
