The club can provide an update without going into specifics or commercially confidential information.

Maybe they feel a public announcement committing us to Caulfield doesn’t help their position in negotiations?

Feasible they are telling the trust/MRC ‘it’s either the site we want (or site you want but with fewer parties sharing the facilities) or we go to Waverley or back to the drawing board’.

We will or maybe be leasing an area from the Trust.

The school and the racing club have nothing to do with our negotiations.

The school isn’t involved in negotiations, that is right. Their deal with the MRC ahead of ours just altered the landscape for the MFC, pardon pun.

As incumbent tenants the MRC is absolutely involved, even though it is the Trust’s land. Also, in one scenario they get a new headquarters out of it, in another they don’t.

Correct, the school slowed things down and the MRC wanted us on the north side - we want to be on the south side. Reckon we'll win that argument. Big meeting this Thursday. That doesn't mean, of course, that we will get an announcement or an update from the Club immediately.

I thought the MRC didnt want us on the North side as they want to move the GlassHouse pokies venue there.?

Getting lost in my north’s and south’s here but I think the gist of it is the MRC would like to house the Dees, themselves and the glasshouse all in one spot…

Not sure about the pokies, but I am pretty certain that we will get to where we want to be which is in that south-eastern corner, the closest spot to be able to access the ovals. And that access issue is one of the remaining matters to be sorted out...
