Tilio, Lopane, Jeggo, Talbot, Young , Politidis, Ugarkovic, Necovski I think, Trewin and Souprayen. There seemed to be a lot of youth involved, I have no idea who most of them are.

jw1739 Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 As it happens a mate of mine - Foundation Member - went down there today to look around. It was deserted. No-one there at all. No vehicles. The ground for the women's and Academy teams looks abandoned - not completed and the ground just a building site. I can't seem to post the pictures, but anyone can go and look for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City can do what they like of course. If they build a stadium there, then fine. But I fundamentally object to any taxpayer subsidy for the club when the Club's owners could buy and sell Australia many times over. I live in the so-called south-east, but it's a nasty, busy drive for me to get there and then where to park in Dandenong is a nightmare. PT - a roundabout route because of Melbourne's radial train transport system or an hour on the bloody bus going round the houses. City fans come from all over Melbourne and indeed some from country Victoria. Oh dear, someone forgot about them. As always, no consideration of supporters and fans whatsoever.

You certainly have a negative view. Even if they build a small stadium there, it may not necessarily mean that they will play their games there (although they may do so on some occasions like pre-season training games). When Heart were training at Epping, did you go to their training sessions? You are right about youth development but eventually they will build a youth team based around the Dandenongs. So that mean that they lose the kids from Point Cook/Werribee. If they end up playing games there PT will need to be upgraded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hell of a hike from where I live. Got lost the first time and arrived desperate for a Jimmy Riddle only to find the toilets locked. People were using the bushes until someone found Scott Munn who had a key and unlocked same, Also went to the Veneto Club several times - another long drive - and Port Melbourne for pre-seasons. Regularly to John Cain (Northcote City) when the youth team played there but they were afternoon matches and it wasn't too bad. Local grounds that are easy for me are Bentleigh Greens and Oakleigh but again only by car because there is no proper PT. This problem is not unique to football of course. Accessing hospitals is very similar. Lousy PT and very limited parking. I cannot see a solution to the problem as far as City is concerned. With each season it seems we are just digging a deeper hole to get out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
