Would have been much better. For the fan at least.From the Collingwood website regarding Alan McAllister;
"Ambitiously, and some would say bizarrely, he dreamed of ‘Maggieland’, which was meant to be Collingwood’s answer to Graceland. Under his direction, the club bought up properties near the Victoria Park ground which was to designed to one day include a precinct that had an indoor sports area, a theatre, a boutique hotel, a new social club, a museum, and even a restaurant chain."
Sounds like the 1980's version of the Westpac Centre...
But the money would have been better utilised levering Vic Park out of Council hands.
Opportunity lost.
