g'day gang....

I hope these artist's computer generated impression of our future club admin and training home gets you a little excited.

The project is real, a fact I know I sometimes forget about, but in the very near future, our boys will have a state of the art stadium to train at.....

...a couple of the images below you may have seen before, and the moment more pics of the interior are available, i'll post them here too.

peace

Where will the players train exactly?

That last pic looks very good

Where will the players train exactly?

yeah, the images don't actually show the interior of the stadium.... when I get some of those images, i'll post them.

I get this thread is just a reminder that there'll be a stadium build in the precinct that will be called home by the MFC.

It is pretty exciting isn't it!

I know we will be sharing parts of the facility with other codes, but having the MFC with a permanent home in the heart of Melbourne is brilliant.

Bring on 2009!

Cheers Finks - I wonder if these photos were shown to Judd during our presentation.

They were. He just didn't like the bubbles.

BTW, does anyone else think they could have saved a truck load of money by go for a more simple (yet still visually pleasing) exterior design?

hey mate, hope you're enjoying your holiday!

just a question, im not so familiar with the new development, but will there be a separate training ground attached to this new stadium?

or will we be the only club in the afl training on a rectangle?

if it is just 1 ground, its gonna get some wear and tear too...storm and victory both playing home games there and us training.

great position though, are they building a social club?

Nah, Melbourne will be training on Gosch's Paddock, where Colling#$@% currently train. Our Administration will be based in the new stadium, along with our gym, recovery rooms, pool, etc, etc.

We will use our new stadium facilities like Colling#@%$ uses the lexus centre, and we'll train on Gosch's Paddock. No doubt we will train on the ground for some things though.

I have no issue with training at the collingwood ground. Im a massive victory fan and they really need a stadium as i dont think the dome is approaprate. It would cost too much and be too large to have a footy field and soccer/rugby field on the same facility.

i think we will train indoors as much as posible but things like goal kicking will be done out side.

Drills ect will be done inside. the kind of things that all we need is grass and were sweet.

Going to miss junction tho great memories

I jogged past Gosh's paddock at lunchtime today.

Gosh, there is a lot of Collingwood sponsors' advertising on the fence. I presume our sponsors will have equal rights when we're there.

At the moment their ads. are the ones visible from the freeway.

We mustn't let them stomp all over us.

Thanks Finks. Do you know when some of the detail will be released to the members?

No we will not be training on Gotschs paddock. There is a new oval to be built alongside our facility. Collingwood will share that with us. Until that time Collinwood has to train on the paddock, and when the new one is operational, they will have to walk past our home to use it.

Wonderful. Hope that means we get advertising rights and of course, first use of the ground when we want it.

The stadium looks great. I know we won't actually play games there, so I'm hopeful that our presence will still be felt.

Do we know what this place will be called yet, and are we planning on erecting a massive MELBOURNEfc sign for all to see as they are driving past?

I wonder how that will work ;o

Hopefully we get dibs, and if the Pies want to train at the same time they need to play on the paddock ;o

Thanks the facilities look great and will certainly be good for the players .

I wonder if we should send these to Chris I am Great Judd perhaps he may take back his comments the setup looks to be better than Carlton.

I thought the Junction oval was too small to do full field practice and now I see we're moving into a soccer stadium????

How's that going to help?, I guess it will teach us to use the corridor.

I recieved a letter saying that they had only raised 2.2 milliong of the 4 million required. If all the people who use this site donated $10 it would raise close to $140,000, that would be a huge benefit for the club.

g'day gang....

Do you know when construction is actually due to commence? Has it started already? Any plans/concepts of the actual MFC training and administration bit?

It looks amazing, but i'm just waiting for construction to begin on it now.

Form for donation if anyone is interested.

Well it's got bubbles, anyone who also follows West Ham in premier league will be happy.

I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air.

They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, And like my dreams they fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere...

to the tune of "i like aeroplane jelly" i think.
