Boy the hatred of the Cats runs deep.with these Hawks.
Hating an entire population because you hate the football side.
You guys are deranged.
No hate, we just feel pity for the less privileged.

So when will the mighty Hawks be hosting home games at Box Hill City Oval, Waverly Park or Dingley? Seems kind of pointless to have all these grounds yet none of them are up to AFL standard. So basically Hawf have a similar setup to Norf, where they split their home games between MCG/Etihad and Tasmania. Norf = minnow therefore Hawf = minnow.
No team has there own stadium, its not Hawthorns fault that they have become too big for one state. This is the difference, Geelong is a small local business barely solvent which is bullied by Hawthorn who is equivalent to a national company.
The town off Geelong is full of plebs and peasants....you will never be viable, even Ford has shut up shop.
Hawthorn owns Waverley Park and has a $60m facility in Dingley. Geelong don't even have an asset

You don't have anything in Dingley yet.
Our stadium brings in a minimum of
$750k per game which will increase to $1m+ after the redevelopment
We'll be able to buy the Hawks in a year or when they fork out $60m on a contimated tip not fit for humans.
Has sustained us for longer than the hawfs have even been alive and hasn't even attempted anyI am concerned about the size of Geelongs fan base. My concern lies in its inability to financially support a football club in a national competition...
Maximum value in gate receipts with minimal outlay. Sounds like pretty good outcome.
So what happens when the study finds Dingley to be uninhabitable. Wheres the next brothel?
As shown before the unemployment rate is 3.6% in Geelong. Basically full employment. 650 people are going to lose their jobs when Ford leaves in a population of 300k. Plus as you say the NDIS is setting up headquarters in Geelong.
Ford have also committed to sponsoring the Cats for another 5 years. Continuing the longest sponsorship deal in history.

And through all your bullshit our fan base has kept us viable for longer than the Hawfs have even been around.Well you were involved in merger discussions during the 80s and 90s. Try Ian Ridley's 'Urge to Merge' book for more info.
The Cats were technically bankrupt in the mid 1980s, early 1990s (who can forget the council run ponzi scheme ) and the late 1990s. You also had the Whiskas shit, the Bendigo Bank bad debt and the $3.3m loss
In fact they have spent more year in debt than surplus since the early 1980s (dare I say since 1984 )
Fun Fact of the Day. In 1986/87 all VFL clubs save Hawthorn, Essendon and Carlton were technically bankrupt. Watch the old 'Formation of the West Coast Eagles' Fox Footy Headliners episode for further info
Seriously the Geelong fans in this thread are pathetic. Really illustrates the education gap that has befallen the shit hole
And through all your bullshit our fan base has kept us viable for longer than the Hawfs have even been around.
That's the sort of staying power you limp flogs showed you lacked by forcing your "club" to go cap in hand to the Dees when the going got too tough.
lol, and you call Geelong fans pathetic.

So can you clarify. Do the Geelong Cats own the stadium. Why did they blow $3.3m last year? Why are they initiating a tin rattle this year?
As for Ford I understand that you are likely a victim of the Geelong education 'black hole' but its the supplementary industries that suffer when Geelong piss off.
The NDIS is dandy but thats not going to help the SME's that rely on Ford contracts hey? Well not in the primary market anyway
Okay so we're only a foundation club thanks to West Coast and Brisbane.Well your survival was secured on the back of the West Coast (cough 1992, 1994) and Brisbane Bears VFL licence payments
Absolutely NOTHING to do with a viable fan base
Can you clarify. Do you have Dingley?
All industries reliant on Ford have been given ample warning and should already be diversifying and taking steps to lessen the impact of Ford leaving. Employees would be doing the same. Geelong is easily commutable to Melbourne which also lessens the impact.
If you truly believe that Geelong the city and Geelong thefootball club will fall in a heap when Ford leaves then the money spent on your education was a massive waste.

lol, you must be the most uneducated football 'follower' on here in the fact you've jumped on the Hawfs in the good times and automatically assume it's always been like this.
You're only 22 right?
The rumour that he's recently been sacked himself confirms this.If you truly believe that Geelong the city and Geelong thefootball club will fall in a heap when Ford leaves then the money spent on your education was a massive waste.

Exactly.Hence the September 2004 join date
Exactly.
A 10 year old knowing who his fave players are is a long way from understanding the how's and why's in regards to his parents wanting to kill his club off.
We don't share our stadium with half the league.Yeah this
bombersfan4000How is Geelong's relationship with Kardina Park any different to the Hawthorn stadium deal at the MCG?
