Post subject:  Big News -- Press Conference Tomorrow (Today!)

It was suggested on Club Corner that tomorrow there will be a press conference and the announcement will be the most exciting news to happen to the club for the last four years. Let's wait and see. I suspect it has something to do with the redevelopment of the ground!

well Coutts did say its not upto the club to make the announcement so i would assume The State Government along with the AFL and Melbourne city council would play a part

Is Elroy finally fronting with the beers?

There better be good news because I don't want to read another 20 pages about Pratt bailing us out because of a Brian Taylor rumour.

Surely not Windy Hill with the huge profits Essendon* make each year?

I went to the Bendigo V Tasmania game there and it looked fine to me without needing a huge upgrade that the Bombers can't afford on their own.

Today is the conference for all Clubs - at Richmond. I think it includes funding for many grounds.

Friday is our special announcement which should combine the AFL funding with State funding with something else perhaps?

Go Blues,

Great news SAS

Co-funded by the Club... with cash from where? are we going on a fundraising expedition? Will the redevelopment be subject to the Club coming up with a few million on its own?
