That is Dingley, not Waverley -
We whinge about not having a home base, but I’d take a wait rather than being in deadset central nowhere like the Dorks
-
How does Onley look at the level?
-
He’ll already have his favourites, it’s human nature

🤨

South side = our own space vs shared facilities in the north.
-
And was the big meeting a bbq?
-
In that the southeast corner doesn’t have an existing tunnel to access the inner (but the north option does)?
-
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…
-
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.
-
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’.
-
Not what I am hearing. I didnt say stopped it, I said complicated it.
-
Nothing particularly salacious, they just can’t agree on a location. The sale of land to Mount Scopus complicated everything. From what I understand MRC have one site in mind and the MFC another. the one the MRC have in mind looks the better of the two to my eye but it might involve shared facilities (only speculating but perhaps that is why MFC prefer the other site?). Already mentioned in this thread is that further complicating all of this is that it is a negotiation that spans 3 parties, not 2.

Yes. They’re making him sound like the next Patty Cripps.

Be interested to see if GWS are still laughing it off if/when you put them through what you put our football club through. My primary-school-aged children are more accountable than this bloke.
