This is somebody with their finger on the pulse. This is somebody that has actually thought about it from the club's point of view, not their own selfish "it's 10 minutes further from my house" attitude.Broodruff wrote:The reasons for moving to Frankston are not to make it easier for you to attent training sessions, and why would it be? There arent a whole heap of people who turn out for training sessions.
The reason the club moved is for the good of the club financially, and the good of the players. All the players seem keen to move there.
By moving here, we can again stay in the race with all the other 'super-clubs' who have their own home comprising of state-of-the-art training facilities.
You may not like it, or realise it, but this is a positive move for the club. This does not mean that it is the most favourable. No doubt, there are many people out there who would love us to stay at Morabbin: Me included. This is simply not practial anymore, we were stalled in negotations with the council about poker machines and couldn't go anywhere in terms of redevlopment, this (as far as I'm aware) then stalled sponsorship deals and the like?
This is, evidently, the most popular decision, but it was a decision made for the players and the clubs benefit, not yours, or mine, or any other individuals. Moving from Morabbin to Frankston is only goign to effect a small portion of members anyway.
You don't get my signature.
Kudos to the new board.
Nothing but good news coming from StKFC
Together we are one.
People that are upset because it's further away from their house....seriously grow the f*** up. It might also be a worthwhile moment to point out that our intital move TO Moorabbin was EXTREMELY controversial & unpopular at the time.
Again it was a decision made by people that are elected to make these decisions. They do actually know what they are doing. The people whinging will come around, they might be stubborn for 1 week, 2 months, 1 year - but they will come around.
