Too commercial and not a fan of Mathieson Pokies venues.
They were classic left wing community based council people who had no time for such venues.
Fraser then decided to go to Seaford and that's the crux of it.
Agree. Archie was in cahoots with Mathieson and probably going to get a kick back from that deal.
When that fell over he had a tantie and a scorched earth policy.
You maybe right Con, I didnt think of that.
I just wander now other than being a great facility is it going to be a revenue raiser for the club?
Club Revenues need to increase to start becoming a stronger club...
If we do get to 50,000 members that would be a mighty effort.

We are still paying for this.
Interesting link RE: Mathieson and Fraser. Stephen Mayne is onto Mathieson like a rash,
USELESS FACT: The WADA case against Essendon (in Sydney as well) is exactly 10 years to the day that Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

I actually love it. After the performance of the two foreigners from the greenies in the senate i would add the word"dumb", when referring to any green pollie.
