Universal Love Princes Park Update

[DangerousD]

Might it simply be a case of wanting the new facility to be alongside the existing hq? Would be odd to have them on opposite sides of the ground with disused grandstands between.

It could be linked via the rear of the stand, there is room there to build, currently a car park I think.

Sadly that is the council depot. So the club doesn't 'own' that space, not unless we help the council re-locate elsewhere.

The old depot area was beside the gatekeepers house of princes park, outside the entrance to the Pratt stand whee the tramstop is.
They removed that and opened that space back into parkland.

Share it, we need tenants as a part of any redevelopment, helps with funding, we already share that space and the Elliott stand with multiple others.

im sure they would love new facilitates too.

Is there a time frame of when we can expect some news of our PP redevelopment?

Funding has been approved. It will be used to build a similar facility for the women on the southern side of the ground. I can’t help you with a start date.

Nothing until 2020 it sounds like if all goes to plan start demolition right after the 2020 aflw season ends I suspect. The club is still trying to secure federal funding, which will only happen with a Shorten labor government as they're getting nowhere with the current mob changing leader every 12 months and not caring about victoria.

Labor would have to have the biggest choke in history not to get in at the next election.

I doubt we will get the federal funding as well, from what I was told.

and people like you can make sure of it now that you're a FB influencer, my very, very, good friend.........

Given the coalition’s attitude towards women it’s not surprising the club is pushing it uphill. Better chance of funding from the ALP.

With Shorten at the helm of the labor party, they are still a huge chance to lose...

Huge?

Huge?

Even with a the back stabbing and in fighting at the Libs Shorten still can’t win a popularity contest as preferred P.M, in fact he’s gone backwards again!

Hate to say it but there is no way the coalition will retain government in 2019.

Good.

Surprised no one else noticed this at training the other day. You'd think they could've cleaned up the area behind it and painted over the "Yes Optus" sign. How many years ago did that sponsorship expire??? Still some improvement, no matter how small, is better than none...........I guess.

Is it new? Looks like the one that's been there for the aflw seasons. Really hard to read if you aren't at the right angle.

Agree about the lack of work on the old signs. Mottled.

Any fence signs "Ken Caffyn - I plumb Carlton"?

I can't recover too well anymore, so two parties in a weekend is too much for me these days. One every couple of months is about all I can handle these days.

I understood it when my name was called out one day. I raced off wondering what catastrophe had befallen the family. I get to the destination and there’s a schoolmate of mine. He knew I’d be at the footy and wanted to see me.

 

[thylacine60]

ha! the cheek! classic.......

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Employers could take a lesson there.

You'd occasionally hear an announcement letting someone know they had left their car running.
