the melbourne city council have come out and claimed the AFL is trying to bully them into investing 8 million into the redevelopments.

they have not included any money towards any funding of the suposed projects and are furious that the AFL and state government have announced this

How cheeky are Collingwood - $10 mil for a ground no-one uses!

I hadly think we could have convinced the AFL and State Govt. to givce us extra cash for a Museum or Hall of Fame - especially given that we have more pressing needs...
I'm sure the redeveloped social club will have space for our extensive collection (hopefully better secured than it is now...).

It'll be up to us, when fit, firing and financially viable again to build our own. And it'll be all the sweeter because of it.

What's your source BB?

1pm news bulletin on SEN.......

as for the hall of fame, the tigers are building one with the money provided to them.

Great news well done CFC and the AFL

Maybe the council could use the money they're hoping to save when they get rid of childcare in the City of Melbourne.

They're currently moving to turn their centres into "community run" models where the parents run the centre. Which begs the question "If your child's in child care it's obviously becasue you are time poor - so where is a person in this situation going to then find the time to run a child care centre?"

I was always under the impression that councils existed to provide services. Turns out they exist to fund trips overseas for a small bunch of self-interested flowers.

Clown Hall rides again...

But I digress...

I potted the Board last week but I congratulate them now. Well done to the Board for all the work in getting this up and running.

Great news for Carlton and work by the board to get this deal done for the Blues. But it's an interesting comparison how $12.45 million gets Carlton all these facilities, yet $10 million buys Victoria Park a refurbishment of the Social Club and change rooms, groundskeeping, landscaping, a cafe and retention of a few turnstiles.

The Heritage council will try to stop the demolition of Gardiner Stand given their fondness for bird droppings and rotting timber.

No mention of better social club facilities, more pokies and the Sexy Squad hall of shame

At least our opponenets won't beat up on us too much or we will dual them after the game.

Does that mean we might be moving back to princess park to play some home games in the future???

I would say no not part of the deal was we leave PP and dont come back to play any games there. Only to be used as a training venue

Sainters redevelopment.

They're putting up $8 million of the $16.5 million.

Great work by Carlton if this is the design.

Go Blues!

The others ones look no better than the rooms you have at local suburban footy clubs (butt out Mandy! ).

I'd be asking for money back if I was the MCC, State Government or AFL.

Expect to see a fire truck coming out of that any minute.
