Passing another FOX

I'm led to believe Lindsay has discussed purchasing/providing a plane for the Saints to use on their interstate trips....

Not many would be able to pass that Fox if true.

New training facility, new coaching structure, new development acedemy and new private transport. Wow.

Would require servicing and maintaince, which you wouldn't want any cost cutting on. A large amount of logistical issues involved.
Unless it is some type of shared private plane.

i would allow him to do that

I would allow him to do that to but its a bit hard to believe, hard to see him handing over that much cash, be great if it happened.

Avalon's a long way from Seaford.

Moorabbin airport is close. Dunno if they'll take a small jet though.

saintbrat · Mon 05 Dec 2011 12:17pm

But FOX Owns Avalon hence my referance.

Fox is a expert at tax minimization. His plane is written off as a deduction because it is no longer "private". Free servicing on the government sounds like a good deal.

Sounds dubious.
Fistly - he owns Avalon.
Secondly - Didnt he shift allegiances to the Blues 10 years ago?

Do we catch planes at Seaford?

borderbarry · Mon 05 Dec 2011 3:43pm

Maybe. Is he running any of those wartime seaplanes? You know, the ones that used to be at Rushcutters Bay.

not having a dig but if things like that bothered our players then our players are simply primadonnas

If Lindsay Fox wishes to contribute to the club like this I say "Good On Him". It is well known that he has done PLENTY for the 66 Premiership Side. The ONLY thing he doesn't like about what he's done or does for the club is the publicity !!

Nick Bayside · Mon 05 Dec 2011 7:16pm

Is plausible, he owns several properties on the peninsula and is a strong advocate for developing industry in the peninsula area including rail and air infrastructure. Private plane from Moorabbin Airport or waterplane from Frankston or Seaford Pier would be ideal!!

True Blue Sainter · Mon 05 Dec 2011 7:32pm

We'll see, but I don't see it happening, although it would be terrific

Junction Oval · Mon 05 Dec 2011 9:15pm

Plenty (and I mean plenty) of people ask him for money. He doesn't throw it around lightly.

Let the wheels turn and we will see what if anything, happens.

Catalinas only take about nine personnel including flight crew. Considering there's only a couple still capable of flying in Australia, I think not.

asiu · Post: # 1180826Post **asiu** » Tue 06 Dec 2011 9:51am

Catalinas is in Rose Bay , the seaplanes next door .

They wete a much bigger plane weren't they that used to use Rushcutters ?

Spotting a Linfox truck on the road in either aust or nz is a family game on our travels. So much better than "I spy..."
