Anyone have Recent Photos?

Or updates

Update on this project is still due to be completed mid 2015 but the club is $2m short of where they want to be on this so they have been searching Australia wide for suitable JVs.

Which is good in one way, but it will take away any chance that 100% of revenue profits going straight back into our clubs kick.

Can we place a tom boyd statue up outfront?

I like the way the architects have integrated the F for Footscray into the design. Those architecture types are very creative.

Hotel, Sports bar, restaurant and pokie venue. Should be an excellent source of revenue if it ever gets up.

So just owned by the club? I'm guessing we will also hold all our own social events there then. Good news, club seems to be going places!

And the scorn of n0rf supporters as they look down upon us from their lonely vantage point of the high moral ground at our piles of filthy lucre.

Last I heard they wanted to hold next year's best and fairest there.
Kelvin's post might shed some light on whether we'll entirely own the place.

 

[littlenails]

I believe it will be leased. Hope to have 5 floors.

 

[Lucky Star]

What is the actual address of the place? I might drive past occasionally on the way home from another glorious trip to Highpoint.

 

[littlenails]

Located at the corner of Edgewater Boulevard and Case Street.

Behind Edgewater Square, off Gordon Street.

Definitely leased. Will have to employ someone to run the venue which will reduce income. Accom levels (2) on leased to an operator.

The new social Club Building as of 14 Jan 2015. The second floor looks completed, the third floor underway. I wonder if we got permission to put 5 floors.

 

[Mingo]

Completed? Huh? I wouldn't want to stroll through the pokies there in it's current state

You wouldn't want to stroll through when I'm 8 beers in and cleaning up on Queen of the Nile either.

 

[littlenails]

Mingo and Lucky Star - you are funny guys.

No. No. No. Geisha is the one to clean up on or Tiki Torch. Do they still exist in Victoria? They're my favourites at the casinos here. I try to keep to mostly Aristocrat machines, made in Australia.

I miss going to Crown Casino on Friday evenings. Because of my caregiver responsibilities, I haven't been to Vegas since my birthday in Sept. 2013. That's the longest that I've been away from Sin City in the nearly 15 years since I've returned.

Yes they exist. They enjoy taking my loose dollars. Never won on either of the bastards.

Thunderbucks is where it's at.

I've won quite a bit on Tiki Torch in Vegas at times. Geisha was always a winner for me at Crown and I play it for nostalgia's sake here. My brother and I used to go to Vegas two or three times a year. Now I just can't, so he drives up from downstate and we go to a local casino. He now plays poker and wins. I still play the "slots" and lose. We get comped rooms and meals at Caesars Entertainment Casinos. I am embarrassed to say that my biggest single win in Vegas was at the airport. I was on a $1 machine, betting 3 lines and won $1200.

On my trip to Melbourne in 2009 I won $700 at Crown. On my way back home I volunteered to get bumped on the San Fransisco to Chicago leg of my trip and got a voucher for $600 from United, a first class ticket to Chicago the next day and food and accommodation overnight in SF. The Crown win and the United voucher paid for my return visit the next year.

Ah, you guys realise what the legislated Return To Player is on these things right? And that the outcome is decided independently of you pushing any random button?
