Frankston Grandstand up in flames...
Just heard on the radio that the Dolphins Grandstand was razed overnight.
I guess that will make the demolition job a whole lot easier - perhaps we can have the new thing built ahead of plan and under budget!!

The implications of this fire for the relocation project are incredibly massive, and almost all work in favour of the Saints. It is almost too good to believe for St Kilda, and there would be rejoicing at Linton Street this morning. Almost every impediment to the development can now be removed by some strategic rearrangment. The relationship with the Dolphins could be cemented. More money will be available, and can be directed into improved facilities (and not just insurance money).
The sale of the land for the office won't be necessary, and removes a major headache.
The only issue to be resolved is parking, but strangely enough, that issue is assisted by the fire as well.
It will all just take some strategic thinking by the Saints' consultants and the Council.
From my perspective of getting the Saints to Casey Fields, the fire is a disaster. Gnash my teeth!!

I thought I read on here somewhere that the Grandstand at Frankston was home to a number of squatters. As CS stated, the fire has many implications. We will have to wait some time to find if they are positive or negative for Saints.
The immediate problem is for Dolphins as they have no gym/equipment and no visitors change rooms. Lets hope that Government/Council can assist financially and with accelerated planning processes !!

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I agree. Though it works out pretty well for us, its likley to devestate the Dolphins, who are a stand alone club who I doubt could afford to replace the grandstand at all, especially so close to the new season.Solar wrote:hey guys lets just not dance on the grave of their grandstand just yet, it's a horrible situation for them

Who actually owns the grandstand? is it the club or the local council?riccardo wrote:I agree.

I have knowledge of insurance and, as you may know, deliberatly causing or contributing to a fire results in a dishonoured claim and possible legal action.Ice Wolf wrote:Hope they had insurance.
If so could be a smart insurance job, leave some fuel and matches lying around and let some deros do the job for you. j/k
If you start it, you aint covered for it.

that's quite obvious, but it's a matter of proving negligence re leaving matches around the place that would be tricky...riccardo wrote:I have knowledge of insurance and, as you may know, deliberatly causing or contributing to a fire results in a dishonoured claim and possible legal action.Ice Wolf wrote:Hope they had insurance.
