I have been thinking about this a bit today and am wondering about the legitimate feasibility of an internet crowd funding "fundraiser".
Having a central donatable online point for any and every saints supporter to add to could rack up a very decent amount of funds after a while. The club itself supporting it could allow multiple rewards for donators such as merchandise to signed jumpers right up to dinner with a saints player (Lenny Hayes of coursehe is still there in spirit!) or something along those lines. Plus you can then twitter bash saints celebrities to match the donations.
I dont think anything close to a million could be raised, but even hundreds of thousands could really help push the club and being a Bigfooty initiative would stop it from looking like total pan handling from the club.
Thoughts?
A very good idea Nuts. This is the sort of idea that structured properly can only help in raising funds. Would need to be run and administered by the club for a wide variety of reasons, but this sort of crowd funding suggestion is a great idea.

Really happy the way things are coming together at St Kilda
The question of fund raising is not really a problem , we have thousands & thousands of supporters.
Who are not. Members
get those people to sign as members the $ will flow, everyone knows friends , relatives who follow the
Saints..get them to sign up.

Should be able to buy things installed around the ground and have your name on it. Like donate $500 and get a chair badged with your name.
That kind of thing. Maybe pathway with names on it
That kind of thing. Maybe pathway with names on it
good Idea
and the more you donate the more prestigeous position you get your name.
$300 for your name on a paver
or $10 for your name written at the bottom of the urinal

Mods, I think it's time to change the name of the Thread, or create a new one. We're going to be back home.

Are the state funding the remaining deficit or it's just a confirmation of the existing proposal?

State government just kicked in 8million toward Moorabbin.

Not bad, but considering in the budget there is 70 million put towards adding even more s**t to Simmonds stadium...
*edit, insert fart noises here due to researching an old article like an idiot.

To be fair, people living in Geelong need something to take their mind off of, well, living in Geelong.

Nuts, that article is a year old. It's 2015 and Damien Drum is no longer the sports minister

My understanding is that this portion is to allow planning and development to begin, with further funding to come.

Yeah thats all the media release talks about. I just find it odd that if there is further funding that it wasnt outlined in the budget. Especially when Geelong gets a massive amount of money to yet again improve their own personal stadium.

I thought Simmonds was fairly subsidised as far as stadiums go? I understand the point but its still very selective as far as funds go.
