Different project, but the same players....

This is closer to the reality - there is no way we can raise $100 million from members for the enitire project. More like Club/AFL $25 mil and the MFC members $25 mil. Government will be involved. For example, if it is the CRRT that will be resposnioble for completing the two ovals proposed, then government money would go straight to another government statutory entity (CRRT), and not to the MFC. At the end of the day those ovals will be community assets and the MFC will get the 15-20 hours agreed we need as part of our lease agreement with them.

we have no chance of government funding of this projet in my view. Political Optics would be terrible

I’m told the financial modelling has already been confirmed which is a mixture of State, Federal, Club, Benefactors and A significant naming rights sponsorship. The racecourse trust have given their approvals. We are awaiting on contracts being signed and there is no set timeline for that. This is the announcement we will hear at the AGM, unless something progressed prior too which I doubt.

I'm not seeing the AFL on your list of contributors. Surely they will be coughing up?
