I don’t disagree Dr. But is seems that will not be resolved anytime soon. We have to get a location and right now Zero.

I doubt we would ever leave the G, why would you leave our home and the best stadium in Australia. With 60k+ members we need the space.

Those time frames are probably Optimistic NC. Some time ago I decided that I would probably never see the MFC home. I am now convinced I won’t. I will just have to enjoy the team as is.

As you said each to his own.

I may have worded that incorrectly. The club will look at any site. Have investigated 30+.

Just my personal view nothing was said but I just don't see near the G getting up. Development in Docklands is our best chance. We are not taking away current green open space.

If you are going to dream then dream big is my policy.

That would appear to be the case dc. at 60k+ the benefits of being a member start to appear slim to those uncommitted supporters. I would consider a higher membership without GFG to get a better spot for viewing etc.

So my Porsche is only 4 days away.

Interesting I just looked at the membership department on the MFC site. With the exception of the lowest level memberships everything else is "wait list" so it would appear all except general admittance memberships are sold out. Not so long ago you could buy any level and they were happy to upgrade you.

Its obviously me Roy11 I just don't get it. we waited 50+ years and I Had no desire to run a muck.

I just don't get it dc.

Ok here goes I was rung by a person from the club, not the President or Gary Pert. However they were of some importance and I believe they were well informed and honest. Basically what I have thought for some time appears to be correct and the information provided by Dante is correct. WE are now in a long term situation meaning nothing is going to happen fast. We have little power and are at the mercy of the Government, AFL and MCC. The club is bound to a secrecy agreement that they will not disclose details of discussions. The reason other clubs are getting money is because they have a site to spend it on. We do not. They have looked at approx 30 venues within the middle ground of Metro Melbourne and while they would prefer to be close to the G they will look at any venue that the Government brings forward. He was adamant that the Olympic park Magpies episode would not happen again. Currently we are using Goschs and Olympic park facilities and Casey. He believes that between the two we have facilities as good as most of our competitors. The club is committed to both venues for Girls , boys and VFL teams. also said they need both as one venue is not enough for the three operations. He also said that contrary to popular beliefs the players do not see travelling to Casey as a big problem in fact they enjoy being able to train in privacy. While admitting that it would be good to have one home for the whole club he did no believe the current situation was placing us at a disadvantage to other clubs. Now some of the above you can say well he would say that wouldn't he. My view is we are some time away from a central home for Players and fans but currently we are not at a disadvantage.I firmly believe it is not for want of trying, there is just currently no spot.

Hi everyone I posted the link below I hope it works. It is about the fans when the World cup winners tried to do a city tour. I cannot imagine this happening in Australia for anything. I have said in the past I don't understand Soccer/ fans. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flionelmessi24h.vercel.app%2Fchao-argentina-riots-in-the-parade-forcing-messi-and-teammates-to-change-plans-immediately%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2jdXQCEtfwU7ApZuJ_UUEk9oDcBuNUEMEjfO-iQIQHBT1_RaUhu0ZZ2RM%23utm_source%3DTrinhVo%26utm_medium%3DMessiFansForever&h=AT2qTRy1RQpgyDCKHxesIwzaxPLYGGnxr590Jv6_01fCWu48fi2qDghJCOwJRhMuAO0oqvfkHZlG8R15JZMUgWTX1nD1KpePPJuD91m6mgFtZFk8aLhyuBcyudV2dVKldP6D&__tn__=%2CmH-R&c[0]=AT3GMitazQbOlXbjFJMcdXTfXq8u_Hn6v7pycWqS8h9_B53SgJjazXZin9NQ_0EE_xV5h5b-IEdCwlb5_LOhAjBJ2D2OILrATjRXsfhG6vosoimx5z-BwKgix8tNsXa50aFzAoDE3oVkp-NCAGgvb1b4w4X4MeGNlu7xljE0bUIM-h6_DGxyzfXEAL-RseC4w83PnB715BwYjhcARHQ

Or less!

I have had a reply to my "what's happening " email to the President. Sorry to be a pain but I need to think a little about it before going into print.

Wow you scored compared to my "ordinary member " package KDF. Mine came loose in a post pack. I guess the you get what you pay for rule applies.

Your not!

That's one of the reasons I like it. Action a plenty. However I enjoy the live game much better than TV. IMO it is similar to Aussie rules. Much better live than on tv. The sad part for me is going to games is not as easy as it used to be, I have had to get used to the TV version.

Tuition

Basketball for me Rab.

That is simply not the case I posted it as I thought that one of the most amazingly bad supporter efforts should be discussed. I don't hate Soccer, I don't understand it but I have no axe to grind.

When was that? 😋

I set it up Rab, the only motivation was to comment on the terrible situation where a game was cancelled in My city last night because of two groups of thugs who ruined the game. Nothing more or less.

Not to me as I did not watch it. However 2- 2 in soccer would appear to be a big score line. I am not canning Soccer I just don't understand the game.
