Yeah we're going to sign up but there's just nothing happening with the club. Brisbane is playing in India why can't we do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, you want a drop-in centre, which has the opportunity to catch the passing trade so to speak. I think it was Elton John, when he owned Watford, who came up with the thought that the ground was used just once a week, and he got all sorts of activities going at their ground. Child-minding centre etc. so that the club-rooms were in use 7-days of the week, or something like that any way. Whether that continues I don't know, but IMO by moving to Casey Fields the club has cut itself off from those sorts of initiatives. I regularly walk past Linton Street Oval, St. KIlda's old ground. Yes, I know it's AFL, but there is a cafe/restaurant there that seems to be open most days and the car-park is full with patrons. The State Government continues to pour money into the facility, and there are new stands (I think the women play there). At Casey Fields we have no chance of ever getting that sort of patronage. I regularly meet various long-standing mates for coffee. But there's no chance I would take them all that way down to Cranbourne - just doesn't make sense. Dumb decision. Why? Because it didn't consider the fans. Which is where we started... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke on the Melbourne city Facebook fans page reckons family day and open training sessions will be announced soon.

johnno cpfc Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 It seems to me that MFG lives on being rich, if you want to be the best just throw money at it but it is waking up to the reality that if you can't afford it you will just have to be cellar dwellers so tighten your belt as we are in for a bumpy ride until they wake up .

NewConvert Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Kasey Bos had a good game last night. I don't think he is as fast as Jordie or has the same sense of balance but he is taller and more physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be pretty ecstatic with the crowd, result and their team looking fairly competitive. I don't think they have the depth to finish too high up though...

NewConvert Posted yesterday at 07:43 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:43 PM @jw1739 can you update the list please. Rhamani has been added as a mid-fielder. Which leads me to think that we have very old players and very young players and not much in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which leads me to think that we have very old players and very young players and not much in between. Very Sad News but.... I have been asked to respond by announcing that jw1739, one of the most long standing, passionate and very active club members is no longer a member of this forum. He has also suspended his club membership. He has agonised for a long time about the club and, to some extent, the league but his desire for improvement has finally succumbed. The tipping point for him was the fiasco of the club's FRG, the attitude of its members(s), some unexciting signings, and a seeming lack of ambition for the A-League men's team To satisfy his love of football he has reconnected with his UK club and wants to wait on the sidelines for a hopeful better future for MCFC. We will all miss him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
