Stuff the sponsors, just call it the Evans Centre. Which would cover David and Ron.

linkCritically unlike other clubs' tin rattling, Essendon's donations are not to retire debt but to build a specific sporting community asset and as such the donations are tax deductible through the Australian Sports Foundation. Someone making a $100,000 donation, for example, would receive $45,000 of that back.
Good news, but how the hell did it get to this?
Agree. What have we been doing whilst the other clubs have passed us by.
We have been trying to upgrade Windy Hill for YEARS but that didn't work out ( because of you-know-who... ), so plan B was to start again, build it bigger, build it better.
This is Plan B.
Thread needs more Jetta
*Edit
Looks pretty good when is it done?
Looks like a few weeks away now.
That video was mid last month, they said 4 weeks, so anywhre from 2 to 4 weeks from now for the building, another few weeks for all the outdoor stuff. Ready for training in november it seems.
Not enough donating to the flight plan you see.Visited the site in Mid October 2012 - Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would take another 12 months to be ready.
If it means they've done a proper job of it as opposed to cheap and nasty, then the slow process is worth it.Visited the site in Mid October 2012 - Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would take another 12 months to be ready.

It's a serious building with a lot of detail to go into it. For example they have tiled the pools instead of using concrete or something similar so that just shows the level of detail and quality they are going with.
