It's time to bring back Waverley

[Pessimistic]

I was younger, but I could comfortably say a dozen at least.

Capacity, and ownership are the only things Waverley had that Etihad did not, and capacity is made redundant by the existence of the MCG.

And etihad is a sloppy spillover for the mcg

 

[Pessimistic]

Because they were shit, and 25k grounds are pointless. My point was relating to the small ground people want now for small games, that would be used half a dozen times a year, it's a ridiculous expectation to have a ground solely for that. They may as well have the slightly larger one that will remain useful as the crowds grow.

Only because etihad caters so poorly for smaller games, which are increasinG in number with expansion teams

My point generally is the current admin have done a much better job with organizing playing venues. ( metricon, adelaide oval, showgrounds than previous admins. Etihad Waverley stadium australia

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Waverley was a shithole. The wisest decision ever made was to cease football at arctic park.

 

[Pessimistic]

Waverley was closed because the etihad investors insisted on it.

Thats a good a case as any thata the place could have been upgraded and flourished. Ian Dicker was putting together a consortium to pay out the afl.
He was is a good businessman but not corrupt like the tools who got etihad up and going

Graeme Samuel board...

We'll see what the tool does for the NRL

 

[Paul Kersey]

Good to see Waverley back Bay. Round of applause please.

 

[chefmeister]

Hawf can't even exhaust their allocation of tickets to blockbusters at the 'G'. How the faarrk are they gonna get their bandwagoners to trek all the way out to Arctic Park to make this decision even slightly viable?

So are 50k grounds, put another 10k into Etihad like they had the option to do and it would be so much better

They mostly live there, Einstein.

Maybe kardina park should be more 'central'

Really? haha, Waverley - home of the hawf bandwagonner!

The wagon has been full for years chiefly,always room for your tears though.

 

[vjknight]

Well they're getting public transport......

So yeah the time is right.

And just when I thought I saw the worst of humanity getting stuck in a car for hours on end with a bunch of campaigners around us, now you’re telling me I have to ride on a tram for an hour with a bunch of campaigners around me?

 

[Hawk Dork]

are there still only two carpark entrances?

and the AFL stopped paying for the cops to direct traffic and wouldnt let Samsung put in a free colour scoreboard

 

[David Schwarz]

are there still only two carpark entrances?

Did anyone ever think it was weird that the 4 and 5 gates on the non-SE Freeway side were always closed no matter the occasion?

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

Waverley is a shithole.

/Thread

Yep, Hawks and waverly is a perfect match

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

Has the Tassie deal suddenly gone sour for Hawf or do they just need another garbage dump to ply their trade?

Another garbage dump you say.....

 

[Paul Kersey]

Waverley still hasn't returned to the Bay.

 

[chelseacarlton]

A decent ground in the south east corridor would benefit the comp!

 

[chefmeister]

Waverley still hasn't returned to the Bay.

Was probably the strongest Hawf poster in his day.

I think he got mainboarditis...

 

[vjknight]

Where's the next stop in that SE corridor... Moe?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Would Monash council sponsor you as much as the Tassie Govenment would?

Every government body wants to be aligned with the Hawks. You know it.

 

[Starburns_]

Every government body wants to be aligned with the Hawks. You know it.

Boroondara didn't want much to do with them in the end...

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Boroondara didn't want much to do with them in the end...

And kingston didnt want much to do with us. They changed thier mind after we pissed off to seaford.

 

[Tigernator]

It's been a long time. Some of you never knew Waverley - I tell you what though, Waverley was:

A) Hawthorn to the core (still is)
B) Honest insofar you knew what you were getting and Waverley delivered
C) Not really liked by non Hawthorn fans, could never understand this

I say it's time to bring Waverley back. The people will be ecstatic. The Bay will erupt.
