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...

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

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

well we have more than just bubbles in common with west ham...

Here's a Google Maps image of the site of the stadium. The stadium site is called "Edwin Flack Park" by some and was once a greyhound track but is now just an oval with carparks. CollingwoodFC like to call it "Bob Rose Oval", and used it for outdoor training.

If you zoom out once to a wider view, you'll see that west (left) of the new stadium site is the athletics track and rugby stadium, which I believe stays for the moment (at least it is depicted in one of the views Finks posted). There might be some argument about its redevelopment in the future. West of that again is the Lexus Centre (the old Olympic Swimming Pool just off the Yarra River), which is CollingwoodFC's admin and training centre.

The two ovals east of the new stadium site, across the carparking area, are Gosch's Paddock. That's where Collingwood train outdoors now that the stadium is being built, and what we will "share" for outdoor training. It's much further from the Lexus Centre to Gosch's Paddock than it is from the new stadium. Poor Collingwood.

The MelbourneFC indoor training facilities (shared with Storm and Victory), along with our football administration, will be built as part of the new stadium. That puts us very close (at last) to our home ground MCG, which if you zoom out again, you can't miss just north across the railway line.

cannot wait....what a smart move by the club. we cant afford great facilities on our own so we work it out with other codes and end up getting a better deal than collingwood who have to walk right past us to do kicking training. i suppose it will be a little annoying for the players having to do walk the 100 or so metres to the ovals and have everyone try to interview them and get autographs (which they avoid easily ATM at junction with the rooms right next to the oval) but collingwood have it MUCH MUCH worse!

also, even though their are three codes using the ground, good maintenance should keep it fine because dont forget the MCG can handle 3 games in one weekend

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.

Bruce - that is what the 150 Club is currently for - and Demonology/Demonland are working hard to become full members - AND we're not too far away.

Feel free to have a look at the threat pinned to the top of the boards...

Thanks for the photos Finks, the whole thing is pretty damn exciting........

And thanks to those who have cleared up the question of where our outdoor training area is. I was curious about that. I thought that the rugby ground as it stands now was going to be re-developed into an oval park for our outdoor training, but I guess that was a misunderstanding on my behalf. Oops!!!

So thanks to Maurie and co. for clearing that up :D !!!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
