New Linen House facility in Seaford - update and video

[Bernard Shakey]

Not suprisingly by my nickname, I do live in Seaford.

I find it just staggering how many people look down their nose at our suburb.

What turns you off about the following??
- Living in a cul de sac 400 meters from a beautiful pristine beach
- Trains only 10 minute walking distance
- The best steaks served south of the Yarra at the Riv Hotel
- More Saints supporters in a single suburb than anywhere else I have ever come across ( 9 of the 12 houses in our street are keen Saints fants)
- Good schools a 15 minute drive away
- The ability to buy good large properties with enough room to house your cars and toys (boats / jetskis / caravans) for half that of most other suburbs
- A 10 minute bike ride with the family to go and watch the Saints train each week

Oh yeah... and not one single mother in our street! (and to be honest, I couldn't care less if there was).

So many of you on here are just a bunch of snobs!

Fair call......didn't one of your greatest ever footballers eminate from Seaford?

One R.Harvey? If it's good enough for him it's good enough for me.

Why are you still stalking this forum, and who cares what filth trolls think?

True....

Sometimes I kinda wished I barracked for another side. I guess it's just the Collingwood factor. Sorry.

I'll pay that BS. Speaking of which she is due for a feed, if u can excuse me for a moment....

Funnily enough, maybe it's karma but she latched onto me last week.

All very good points Seaford Saint, I drove through there to have a look at the new facilities and I don't get what the fuss is about.

I fail to comprehend the issue anyway, the reality is the players will be training, eating, socialising inside the facility anyways.

I also find people are being very snobbish on here, ya big snobs!

I think you'll find the snobs that count are the players and they are not happy.

They will get used to it, they have to yes?

[plugger66]

Of course the players arent happy to travel to Seaford but the Saints have done a few things to help. Firstly one training session a week at Moorabbin and also when players are only required for a short period for massages and little things like that then they will be done at Moorabbin as well. They will make most sessions full days now so they dont have to go to and from training as they have done previously.

If they had their time again and a different CEO at the time then we would still be at Moorabbin with new facilities. To late for that so lets just get on with it. Anyway in 2012 i have a feeling the Saints will be playing at Moorabbin every second week.

Um I think you might mean "training" and not playing

No i am pretty sure I meant playing.

he could be right - as early as 2012? though

Like I said on the previous page, if you'd care to scroll back Sir,
I'd question the accuracy of the quoted figures on travel time.

1. Because I know for a fact that it takes less time than that quote and,
2. If we all relied on GPS and didn't take into account that things change over time we'd all be stuck in a blogging cave.

I maintain that Seaford to the CBD is approx. 21.5 mins

EDIT:
3. It can be done in 10mins with no respect for the speed limit.

CBD to Seaford cannot be done in 21.5 minutes, It is nearly 40km as the crow flies.
You are talking garbage.

Going via Eastlink and then the Monash i'd say 35 to 40 mins to the CBD
40-55 via the Frankston Fwy and then Nepean

Although you could reach most of the Southern and Eastern suburbs and most of the Peninsula within 30 mins.

'pends what time of day.
don't forget the extra lane on citylink and that flow is in opposite direction.
off-peak Seaford to CBD is under 30mins CBD to Seaford off-peak is approx. an extra 4mins.
it can not be forgotten that one experiences no traffic lights whatsoever.

No traffic lights whatsoever? You've never been there, have you?

is that a rhetorical question?
from seaford (frankston fwy/eastlink/peninsula link) i dont hit a light until montague street south wharf i then turn right go across the river and i'm in docklands.

He's got to be joking.... they just tore the whole place down FFS.

It's true. I heard we bought the training centre/stadium 2-for-1 deal.

Mentioned at the BnF that they'd like to play a stand-alone VFL team out of Moorabbin.

[Ice Wolf]

Could always try for a staged build like geelong have done in the hopes of playing some AFL matches there again.

ATM we have a pretty much guaranteed crowd of around 22k at Etihad, could possibly play 4 matches at Moorabbin (Port, Freo, Gold Coast. West Sydney) and probably not lose any money even if capacity was only 15k for those matches at first

First thing to do would to build some good toilet facilities, which could be replaced (and possibly sold to local councils) as proper stands are built in stages and terraces around the enitre ground with rows of seats, which again would be replaced as the stands are built. Ideally they would use a similar system to Etihad/MCG in that the rows of seats could be removed and installed in the new stands as the they are built saving on costs.

Eventually Hawthorn might pull out of Tasmania and they could also play small drawing matches at Moorabbin.

[GrumpyOne]

Playing VFL games at Moorabbin a possibility, as generally only 3 men and a dog watch them anyway, but AFL???? No Way.

[bigred]

Would still require some substantial work at Moorabbin before they could stage AFL games.

By law there is a certain amount of amenities required.

Which Moorabbin does not have....

Even a boutique stadium, built in stages, would cost millions.

I'm pretty sure we don't have that money to spend.

And I'm pretty sure no one else would be prepared to chip in.

Therefore, IMO of course, will never happen.

[St Fidelius]

Doesn't Docklands have some sort of agreement that no other stadiums be built for x amount of years?

I'm pretty sure that is within a certain distance from the Docklands

[plugger66]

Cant believe some people actually think we may build anything more than toilets at Moorabbin. It would cost 100's of millions even for a small stand and the council just forced us to move to Frankston. Nothing will be built there but that may not stop us playing there in 2012 if things go well.

has been mentioned by the CEO several times over the last few months- including at the rd 22 post game function.

does not need to be AFL level facilities- but how much to make it VFL standard?
