News North's Bold Plan

[Luke72]

I don't want to be the skeptic, but there's about $50m in private commercial real estate the club would have to acquire before this is even a possibility, there's 4-5 business where that second oval is, including Bowens etc which probably wouldn't be thrilled about moving one of the biggest inner city timber yards.

If we did manage to acquire them, we'd have to delete 2 streets and all the encompassed services, then there's the building of something like that, probably $40m+

This is at least a $100m undertaking.

isn't a lot of the land council land? there's the roadwork/asphalt place on the other side of Fogarty St and the Dogs Home and the tram offices down Green St then the dog park. I actually think that for a project of this size they are probably pretty lucky with with the relatively small amount of acquisitions required, assuming council is 100% behind it.

Excellent. The tunnel to etihad can swing by the station too.

Zondor can have his own tunnel too.

75% of the land is Council owned.

Great week to be a north supporter (apart from W80 and LT situations).

Land can be and is acquired by government "on just terms"

No one is getting kicked out of their homes.

 

[Snake_Baker]

....and this is what "just terms" looks like

Shut up and buy an apartment

Lol. I did. My partner and i put a deposit down on one of the apartments. They were talking about future plans etc. I was just excited about having a property so close to North's training and the CBD. I just thought it was typical bullshit to try and close the deal...and now this. I'm over the moon!

I'd like to see heath stop me from delivering training reports from my balcony. Am willing to lease to a north bigfooty poster. $1000 a week! Not you Gasometer

An endless loop of Aaron Edwards 100 goal season?

Onsite Video Ezy with internet kiosk?

Ah the video ezy thread. Special times

 

[Tas]

I wont be alive to see this built.

If Euge was around there would be a chance of my corpse being used as part of the foundations. :stern look Make it happen, Euge!

 

[rippersnipper]

Will the cafe have muffins and if so, what kind?

 

[Northworth]

will get excited if there is $ behind it

I'm not sure arthritic bones make for strong foundations.

This has Andrew Coates greasy fangs written all over it. Heard him talk up North Melbourne possibly hosting the 2032 Olympics as it already has basketball courts, swimming pools, fencing facilities etc. Give me a spell. First you tear down our grandstand & then you wanna hold Olympic athletics at that very venue? It's tantamount to treason.

 

[darko]

Good call/Bad call should North be given the funding for one of the best fascilities in the land?

And when we are given the funding then we'll make Caro's Arrow.

Andrew swallow likes this

 

[shniko11]

The second oval doubles up as two soccer grounds by the looks of it. Great for the community.

 

[Hojuman]

And still no pokies. Well done North

 

[Twinkletoes]

And still no pokies. Well done North

Well, apart from Tender Touch but that's for Zondor's sealed section thread.

Love the forward thinking in this. Working in partnership with the council and city planners, planting the North flag right in the heart of what will be a major population centre in years to come.

I hope I'm around to see it.

Off to the Grumpy Olds thread to talk about cryogenics, and how Tas, myself and the rest of us crusty bastards can somehow see this vision at completion.

Well done North!

campaignero will have a negative article ready to go from the grave i reckon...

So before i go around telling everyone that I've made the best investment of a life time and I'm a property savant what sort of percentages are we looking at for this sort of thing to actually come to fruition?


I'm optimistic so anything above 1% and I'm telling everyone it's a certainty.
