Images of new training base - exclusive

[Oh When the Saints]

Thanks to 'Bevan Shorluey' for these pictures of the new Frankston training base ...

Interesting to note that it is only 500m from the train station and an easy drive down Nepean Highway. Pretty accessible for most folk.

Thanks for posting the high-res photos.
It's no Lexus centre, but it's certainly a vast improvement.

There is no such thing as an easy drive down the Nepean Highway.

Looks great, except for the location.

Better than sometimes being forced onto Warrigal road to get to moorabin for me

What is a "Wellness" centre

[Otiman]

The near completion of East-Link will make this a no brainer to get to for quite a lot of people in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs.

Easy trip for us in the Northern suburbs too... don't need to take all the nose to tail roads.

rehab? and no i dont mean the rehab us frankston residents have been said to attend

Is that the Sydney Harbour Bridge (or should that read Frankston Harbour Bridge) in the background of pic 1? Maybe Frankston is more cosmopolitan than it is given credit for?

Looks great...and I reckon yes it IS a Lexus Centre...Id be hoping that it would match their facilities..remember too that the admin base is across the road..so all that space in the sketches is player-focussed.

I reckon the 500m from the station might be stretching the truth a touch..but from my memory from my youth..its certainly no more than a 15 min stroll

[fonz_#15]

nah s66 it would be no more than that, maybe 700-800 metres from the station at most.

OWTS - most people that live a distance from Frangga don't get there via the Nepean Hwy - they use the Frangga Freeway!

How far from the end of the freeway is it?

I rarely go through Frankston itself.

[spiral2]

prob 5-10min from end of freeway

Let’s hope this finally gives the State Govt and the Frankston Council the impetus to build a marina at the bottom of Olivers hill

This will boost an area sadly lacking in facilities that will draw people to the district.

[Oh When the Saints]

Interesting to note in the paper today that the club sent consultants to Chelsea in the English Premier League to check out their latest facilities.

(Wonder if that was Archie who made a quick trip back home )

We will certainly have what is the equal of the Lexus Centre.

if our new facility comes out half as good as the facilities at stamford bridge (chelsea home) i will be stoked. the money poured inti their facility is amazing

why would that happen when Martha's Cove is well into the development stage already? Or does that not incorporate a marina?

St Kilda chief executive Archie Fraser revealed yesterday that the Saints had sent a consultant to England to research the facilities at Chelsea and fellow Premier League side Aston Villa.

So we are doing something similar to my epl club, aston villa and arguably the most sucsessful epl club chelsea

and i thought we would be doing something similar to lexus centre

the saints are setting high standards so im sold

[saintdooley]

is that the harbour bridge in the background of the first photo???
i mean, i knew frankston was along way, but not that far!

Just thought I would quote myself for you Dools.
