Certified Legendary Thread Roos lodge plans for massive Arden St upgrade

[Luke72]

Elected official taking the piss on a constituent's interests? Any more details?

It was very much a smartarse at the footy style quip. Nothing in it but it pissed me off at the time.

If he or she is fulfilling an official obligation as a councilor then the only appropriate response is to be supportive of the club as it is an important part of the local community.

Dedicating too much space to parking kills cities, better to just focus on getting the new train station going

Train station is done deal, they've dug the tunnel

 

[Sphynx]

Train station is done deal, they've dug the tunnel

They’ve done more than that.

Arden St is the most advanced of the stations.

It will be completed soon, but can’t obviously open until CBD North, South, Flinders St and Domain are completed.

As well as the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop upgrades are done to the existing underground lines.

All are underway at the moment.

"Missed opportunity" is sooking.

Ffs we work our guts out to get a deal that secures the club at Arden Street for eternity and people are saying its a "missed opportunity".

It was a missed opportunity! Constructive discussion isn't sooking.

 

[Hazey1977]

Yeah, but the oval shits on Bonnie Doon's, as does the facilities for players and the location. 15 years ago the joint was shitheap with protables.

Look at how far we've come. We finally secure ourselves there and already sooks like you are saying it isn't good enough.

I mean ffs. Look at how far we've come in such a short time.

Mighty Essendon with all their cash are only just getting aroung to putting in some seats and shade cloth ffs.

The question I'm still left asking is, "How's the serenity?"

2025 now,

People like to bag the dude but he’s really got shit done.

It's a missed opportunity that we only got a massive parcel of land in the most vibrant new development in the city and we didn't ask for a $300 million stadium to be built for us. If it looks like a duck and it sooks like a duck...

 

[Luke72]

From Sonja’s latest email:

"The club is now developing plans for the next phase of Arden St – stay tuned for news on that in 2023"

This bit is really exciting and is what Simpkin is saying. Hopefully there’s some big plans ahead. I have faith that Sonja knows exactly what the fans want.

It can be both mate. You can be a negative nelly if you like. But Luke's reputation speaks for itself.

You don't have one but I assume it's a hater. No doubt looking to target whipping boys and the like.

I'm cool with Luke. I was calling you a sook. If that makes me a negative Nelly, well I guess we have entered Bizarro World, but okay.

We do have solar power panels on the roof of the facility?

Just enough to power a small city.

Smart.

Costly but long term will help the club a lot.

Presumably, we got a good deal through a club sponsor.

Dunno man.

Or from one of those annoying cold callers that call me a few times a week

Is that the fabled arden st oval cafe floating on the wing?

It’s a Tender Touch “pop up” store which masquerades as a cafe.

Reckon we might have applied for a rebate under the state gov energy scheme as well. I know not for profits and charities fall under the business eligibility criteria.

 

[The Nostradamus]

When’s the second oval expected to be completed by?

 

[Lomas]

When’s the second oval expected to be completed by?

Melbourne City Council? 2032

 

[Sillygit]

so the second oval's been confirmed?

 

[Lomas]

We would have asked for it. I have a few mates who have done similar works for footy clubs over the years, more the engineering consulting side, and the discount requesting is strong and continuous, apparently.
