Punt Road Redevelopment
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
And there'd be no room for Geelol fans, so they could save the trip to Richmond n watch the game on t.v. at home.
80k stadium, not big enough, we have 100k members let alone supporters.
As for Punt Rd, we really need the redevelopment, especially now we have AFLW as well as AFL, VFL and VFLW. Time the biggest sporting club in the land got some largesse, this would be great for RFC and for the local area.

Got a feeling they already do that somewhere in Swan or Lennox Sts or both... could be wrong but thought I'd read it at some time in the not too distant past.
True, but the minute you do that you're at risk of weakening the culture you want the club to have.
They have office space in Church Street, I know their Swinburn students went off site during the year
Imagine if we had of built a 40k stadium at Punt Road as we floated in only March '16. Would have just snuck the crowd from the GWS game in LOL

A ridiculous proposal when you look back on it.
Not much use for our seniors, but would be ideal for a growing n developing VFL and Women's team. Would also be ideal as a third neutral stadium for clubs to use against interstate sides where crowds would only be in the mid twenties to thirties range. Rather than ColonialTelstraEddieheadWhatever stadium
I don't think it's that simple champ. We lease the ground (on a 99 year lease as I understand it) and any improvements we want to make need to include a community element and be ratified by Melbourne city council and parks Vic as it's zoned parks and recreation.
As an aside the last redevelopment cost 20 million so I'm not for draining our cash reserves and going into debt again. I'll gladly accept funding where it's available and for something that extensively benefits the wider community as well.
We are an outward facing community NFP organisation. Not an insular corporate machine.
