Our new facilities

Post: # 985051Post Quixote »

Without having been there myself, word has it that our new home in Seaford is stunning.

Apparently, complete state-of-the-art facilities, right at the top of the tree. Jeez, the boys won't know what hit them!

Also, the words 'simply beautiful' were used several times to describe the Clubrooms and the place as a whole. 8-)

Exciting!!

It's a dump.

Hope not. They will be using it next season as well as the Hawks.

To train and what could you wreck and what would even be the point of going there. I doubt 50 people would go there if we won.

Just putting this out there, but first stop on my possible "Premiership Celebration Road Trip" is Moorabbin, without a doubt. The big screen should be there, the players presentation later that night, it should all be at our home.

No Etihad, no St Kilda Beach, it has to be at Moorabbin.

There are no facilities there though. I dont think they have many choices to be honest. I would say everything will be the same as last year.

I agree.

I would expect that like last year the after GF celebrations/commiserations will take place the next day at Etihad.

Let's hope unlike last year they have a big silver cup to show off.

Not exactly the same. This year there will be a cup with the team and I for one will be a lot happier. :wink:

You're probably right, but it's a shame.

After going out to training at moorabbin in last years finals, I remembered how hard it is to park and how hard it is to see anything. I loved the traditional grounds but they are now not equipped to handle events like that anymore. I had to pay some guy $10 to park my car in his yard and still had to carry 2 kids about a k. I hope they put parking in at seaford.

there's not a lot - still a 'suburb'
hence they will still use Moorabbin for closed and open sessions- where crowds may come..

saw a picture of Geelongs new rehab pool the other week- and it looks pretty special- oval shaped with centre seated area and spa etc.

None of that would happen at Moorabbin but if the ultimate occurs I would definitely make a pilgrimage to Linton St at some point of the night/morning.

I don't think I'd be the lone ranger either. I'm sure in most of our dreams of a flag heading back to Moorabbin & seeing the boys present the cup is only secondary to that siren sounding.

I had planned to go there last year if we had won.
Would be great to sing the song in the middle of Moorabbin at midnight.

Perhaps it should be a Saintsational rendezvous?
