Why not just move back to Moorabin?
I don't get why we have to move back to the Junction Oval? Obviously Seaford isn't working out and it looks like we are unwanted at the JO by community groups.. Why not just move back to Moorabin or just stay at Seaford! I reckon Moorabin is really our true home and would work out long term.. stupid decision to move to Seaford in the first place!

Because we have only got 11 million to spend there. I reckon they would need at least 25 million to get it AFL facility standard for training. Maybe even more.

That's some serious deflation from your previous posts that eventually climbed up to a figure of $200 million.
Interestingly, the Eureka Stadium thing... they've already held several preseason games there with the current facilities and capacity of 10,000. The upgrade for the Poodles (and maybe Nuff Nuff) is only looking at holding 15,000. And with most of them still out in the open... and probably still standing, by the look of it...

JO could do that now... minus the sleet.

Dave obviously you cant read or are just playing dumb. The 200 million figure was for playing games at the JO with a capacity of 30k. Some imaginary figure you thought could fit in the ground. The 25 million is for training facilities and even then I said it could be a little more. No idea what a stadium in Ballarat has to do with your silly proposal of playing games at the home of CV.
Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
So is it Seaford, Moorabbin or JO?
Which is looking more likely long term? With all the talk I have no idea where we are at.

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

They cannot even settle on a 'home' for the Football Club re the facilities so if something (I would argue) as basic as that cannot be achieved, surely any other decision involving money will just involve money down the toilet much like Thommo's client accounts...

Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
Here's a few photos of how Moorabbin used to be (there are also Glenferrie Oval and eddiehad stadium on there as well).
Of course the grandstand has now been pulled down. Pity.

I miss the old girl. At least Moorabbin had history for me as JO means nothing to me.

Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
What are the options?
1. Retain Moorabbin as Matt Finnis indicated in May 14 as a 'community hub' (StKilda stand alone VFL team, Southern Football League, Sandringham Dragons, South Metro Juniors) and a 'physical presence' (social club, museum, retail outlet)
2. Move from Seaford to Junction Oval, or stay at Seaford (training facilities, administration)
3. Some variation on the first two
What are the benefits of the Junction Oval?
4. Our 'Spritual home' (for those who are old enough to remember us playing there - maybe; for others - ?)
5. Identity/branding (located in a 'funky' area with the same namesake, being where we originated [close enough]
What are the risks of JO?
6. Business case (how much will it cost the club versus any tangible financial benefits e.g. will it actually help with sponsorships or not?)
7. Control (can't be subservient to cricket interests, it must be a true partnership)

Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
After reading Dean Jones' article today I'm starting to think if we can get the extra funding needed for Moorabbin then maybe we should forget St Kilda and go back to Moorabbin.

But yes, a stong presence at Moorabbin, and right down the Penninsula, must also be maintained.
Port to Portsea = the St Kilda footy club!

Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
Indeed. Dean Jones' opinion should determine the future of the club. He's an arrogant, self-important goose, whose lack of self awareness cost him his test career. Apart from that, he 's illiterate, full of sh@t and a Carlscum supporter. If you want to follow his lead then knock yourself out.citywest wrote:After reading Dean Jones' article today I'm starting to think if we can get the extra funding needed for Moorabbin then maybe we should forget St Kilda and go back to Moorabbin.

Re: Why not just move back to Moorabin?
I don't want to follow Deano but we need to get out of Seaford. I don't want the government funding to all of a sudden be withdrawn while we are toing and froing with JO or Moorabbin.White Winmar wrote:Indeed.

I don't think I have ever read anything from the club to suggest they want to go back to Moorabbin.
