Post: # 698761Post saint08 »

I wonder what people would pay to help the club pay for seaford to ensure a great training base for our players?

$4 per month from the bank account or credit card , for 2 years? ($96)???, to have a brick with your name? more? less?

I have to confess the way Essendon have done Windy Hill is classy.

I think it'd prove quite a hit with the fans, and would help build a nice link between the club and the supporters and provide some handy coffers.

Nice idea. I wouldn't want it to be too much though - it should an opportunity for your everyday Saints' fans to contribute without breaking the bank.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

I paid $25 for a paver when my kids school was fundraising. We were able to put our own words and picture on them. Designed it on paper and I think they somehow lasered the image on to the paver.

Good point. The AFL and the City of Kingston screwed us over that one. What a complete waste. It's not like it was a complete hole like Victoria Park...most of the improvements needed were cosmetic, but alas the Club shuffles off to it's 4th home. :evil:

If you have a beef with the direction the Club is going, go to the AGM and report back...

Your comment on here is so juvenile and I would love to see you attend and make your comments known, if you don't attend F*** the shut up!


I will make sure of your attendance or non attendance and not your so called objection... :roll:

I have no interest in buying a brick at some god-forsaken site in a wasteland at Seaford that
- has no historical connection to our club
- we will never see a real game played there
- hence it will never have any relevance or history.
- and I don't expect I will ever visit it.

Moorabbin on the other hand
- is full of our history (remember when X did ....)
- is easy to get to (caught the train there on Friday fro the practise game - can you do that at Seaford ?)

I would gladly buy a seat or whatever from Moorabbin.
But no incentive to buy a brick at Seaford.
(Besides it would probably be stolen from the building site and thrown at the Frankston police station).

That is extremely unfair.
Whatever did a hole do to be compared to Victoria Park.

I believe Seaford has a train station in which the Frankston train stops at as it does at Moorabbin.

We all know why we can't stay there, no use playing the blame game, achieves nothing. Time to accept it and move on.

I would be willing to pay $100 for a brick at the clubs new home.

Enrico Misso, if you've never been to the area & have no intention of ever going what right do you have to comment & make slurs against the people of Frankston? Your comments are offensive.

Maybe he means Nicky and is confusing Moorabbin with Victoria Park

I would pay a premium for a few bricks, if they bring back public stoning's and the current board were the recipient's!

Unkind St Fid.

I have no problem with the direction the club is taking, but I can perfectly understand people not wanting to put in for what may not be our last ever home. After all, Moorabbin was to be our home for a minimum of 99 years, and look what has happened to that.

I would put in $100 for a brick, but I would like an agreement that I get my brick if and when the club leaves the area.

I think you are right, but then if the original poster never plans on going (shrugs) there is not really an issue.

Seaford does have a train station, but Belvedere park is definately not within walking distance, unlike Moorabbin.

Does anybody still catch a train these days?

Good question to ask Archie.

I take it that you mean people paid for their names on a brick, and we are just not talking graffitti here.

Where was the 3rd?
1st home - Alpaca Paddocks by the old St Kilda Train Station
2nd home - Junction oval
3rd home - Linton St
4th and pray our final home - ...where is it again? lol

True that. I apologise to all holes who may have taken offence from being unfairly compared to the filth. :twisted:

I was wondering about the Linton St bricks myself
Most of those bricks sold when the club was in huge trouble financially.
In reality they should be removed and transferred down to the new building. But can you see that happening?
Perhaps StFid can get on his bat phone to Archie and find out?
