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?
Absolutely, without even a moment's hesitation the current board should transfer these Linton st bricks with people's names to wherever the club bases itself!
In the name of true undivided LOYALTY, paying homage and respect to tradition and to the people that have kept this club in existence, the real STRENGTH upon which this club is founded, this should be a given, but unfortunately the new board care little for any of that, for they already have relocated the club to the backblocks of Seaford and changed L2 members fees overnight by imposing an ultimatum upon them, regarding Social Club status without any prior consultation with the members, who afterall are what keeps this club alive to begin with!
Do you honestly think that AF, an appointed CEO, a Scotsmen who came down in the last shower, in respect to him knowing precious little about the history, heritage and traditions of this club in OZ and the current board give one iota, a continental, a fat rat's clacker, a tinker's cuss or a flying duck about some brick with a persons name on it and it's significance?
It's already blatantly obvious that John "I was the one that broke the board up, I was the one that divided them, I was the one that caused the s*** to hit the fan" Gdanski, cares more for his own personal standing with the clicky elite of the Jewish community than anything to do with the St kilda football club!
Of course these loyal members, who dug deeper to help keep the club in existence, for the current board to screw over, should be remembered and honored with their bricks being transferred from Linton st to White Elephant dve/dive, but I'm sure with it now having been brought to their attention it would be deemed to be an awful inconvenience and too much of a logistical nightmare, for it would require someone being bothered enough to look at these bricks and write peoples names down, afterall does the St kilda Football Club member data base go back any further than two years?
Without knowing precisely where these bricks are/were located, is it possible with the demolition of the grandstands, that they have already been discarded with, without even a moments thought, regard or hesitation from the current board?
If so then this is shameful and another further inditement and example of the complete contempt and sheer disregard shown by this current board towards it's LOYAL members!
The real tradtional legacy of this football club, which the current board is honoring and keeping alive and well is it's ability to shoot itself in the foot!
Seaford, aaarrrrggghhh, all in all it's just another brick in the wall!
