Use saints new home ground for Interstate Games $$$$$$$$$$$$

[saint58]

IF we put a enough stands for up to 30/40 thousand people emagine the money we would make with all saints fans against the interstaters.The money we lose at Edihad when there are 25/30 thousand there.

Imagine the crowd at Edihad against goldcoast and West sydney we are going to loose a packet.

Look at the Geelong example they make a fortune from home games with all the advertising and gate going to them i think it is something like $200
thousand iam sure someone will correct me if iam wrong.

We could allso rent the stadium out for other victorian teams when they play the interstaters still make bucks for the club and have a home ground advantage.

[Mr Magic]

Who's going to put up the 100+ million dollars for this?

[benengel14]

Only a lazy $2500 per member if Mr Magic's budgeted estimate is accurate - who's ready to pledge?

I'm no building expert, but I would think that the cost would be 100 million at the very least - probably a hell of a lot more!

How much was the budget for the new 'bubble' stadium at Olympic Park?
500 million for a 30, 000 seat stadium?

We don't lose money at Etihad stadium anymore, no club does. Everygame at both stadium Etihad and MCG pays the home team $100K on top of any money they would make.

Why would 30 to 40 go there when we only get 20 to 30 at etihad?

not if we use building materials such as straw and snot.

[Stephen Theodore]

Not sure why an extra 10 or 20,000 would go to Seaford and not Etihad

[battye]

Why don't we play a few home games at Subiaco?

[Mr Magic]

Why don't we play a few home games at Subiaco?

Would we draw crowds of 30,000 plus if we played our home games against Freo and WCE at Subi?

Would nice if Brumby were to give St Kilda the same heap of money he is splashing down at Geelong to build another stand.

The Horse wouldn't even put up less money to refurbish the Palais Theatre.
Instead he tried to force a mini Chadstone on the Triangle Site to pay for the refurb.
The citizens of St Kilda killed that.

Haven't you heard, Seaford is the new Vegas

[repta]

what is it with the preoccupation with money? I thought they played for the supporters. The ones that can go. The members who fork out their hard earned, just to miss out on games as they double sell the tickets. StKilda wont keep 40,000 members if they sell their sole (games) interstate.

There not going to

[saint66au]

Wont happen in a bazillion years

End of discussion really

I just hope they have learnt from their failed experiment down in Tassy last time. Supporters hated it, players hated it, I am sure sponsors werent thrilled.

Take a bex and have a good lie down and put your thoughts to more productive ones - matchups for Bartel, Ablett, Selwood etc etc

[Eastern]

Our new training base is in the middle of a residential area. The infrastructure required to build a 30-40,000 stadium would necessatate many of the surrounding dwellings to be torn down.

We already have a bloody housing shortage in Melbourne !!

He obviously doesn't need the Moorabbin vote!

Did you see the herald sun today it said that the Saints and Bulldogs are looking to play INTERSTATE TEAMS AWAY FROM EDIHAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Might as well be in our home ground we will have the ground just need the stands and we dont pay anything and maybe might make some after the lovett payout.

I dont wont us to go under or relocate because of finance we are not out of the woods.?

Well isnt going to be a ground in Seaford. Just had a look in the Herald sun today and couldnt see that anywhere. What page is it on?

[SainterK]

Isn't the word, that the doggies are looking at Skilled as a potential home ground?

[GoTheTorp]

Well there would be no parking at Seaford, so we can all catch the Franga train to Kananook and walk up Seaford Rd from there, arm in arm singing "Oh When the Saints" and sipping tinnies.......... sounds like a plan
