[Burzum]

ESSENDON is likely to announce in the next couple of months that it will leave its traditional Windy Hill home for a new venue in Melbourne's north-west suburban corridor.

I blame Knights and the assistant coaches.

 

[The Donners]

I don't read the Herald Sun.

To be perfectly honest though, I couldn't give a rats tossbag if we do leave Windy Hill.

Where is your grasp of history, and what about real estate values when they leave.

You can't change history. It will be a part of the Essendon Football Club's history, just as the East Melbourne Cricket Ground.

On a day the club welcomed funding of $6 million from the Labor government in conjunction with the Australian Paralympic Committee (APC), it also conceded the options for relocation had increased.

Labor member for Maribyrnong and parliamentary secretary for disabilities and children's services Bill Shorten said the government would contribute to the state-of-the-art facilities regardless of where Essendon was based.

At least there's some good news there. Not sure how much we were holding out for though.

@ Essendon Moderators: Are these stupid quotation rules still in effect? Coz I don't see it enforced on the Association Football board and usually not policed that stringently on the main board. One link + paragraph = all good?

I reckon we wanted more than $6m, probably even above $10m from the Feds.

Did you get a phone call from the EFC to purchase raffle tix at $200 a pop? Therein lies the crux of said raffle tix. I don't recall said raffle last year.

Poor response is poor.

This pissy bowls club should have found a way to relocate somewhere local for the benifit of all.

I'm sure EFC at Windy Hill is more important to the local community than the bowls club (by about a million times).

I hope they go broke soon after we leave.

i wont complain if it was to the showgrounds or the airport. as long as we dont move 40ks away like the tigers or demons.

Essendon Airport would be epic for many reasons.

Reason #1:

We have somewhere to land our private jets...

Reason #2:

We can fly Quinn out of the country quicker

 

[bombers_4_ever]

I'd prefer we move to the showgrounds. It's pretty close to the city and it's easier to get to by public transport.
