News Jack Dyer Stand may go in $60m Punt Road Oval redevelopment

[TigerImposter]

Will be 200 mil by the time this thing actually gets going

And a brick will not be cleaned let alone be laid.

This

60 mill to 100 mill and Richmond just bent over

That’s a green flag for the next ‘blowout’

And a brick will not be cleaned let alone be laid.

They will call them virtual bricks when the next blowout occurs, and drop the charade completely

That's the Red Rooster Lodge....

50 bucks you get a VR headset to have the experience of putting in a brick

Photoshop team will end up just editing in pic of new stand like they do with the yellow

Gez this project has become embarrassing sought it out , we sound like the dogs rattling tins yet we boast we got 100k members for the last 5 years and the project is so behind and not even started. Administration and President pull your finger out. Off field and the footy department being left behind.

 

[Groupie_]

just bulldoze it and set up tents

 

[Wrenny]

And a brick will not be cleaned let alone be laid.

You and Groupie_ have a fair bit in common with those bricks.

 

[Tigerbob]

I will say, it is embarrassing now.

 

[Bojangles17]

I can’t see this proceeding without re writing the plans at significantly less than current option

Mate by the time you re-write plans costs balloon even more meaning we'll just get the updated shitter version for the same price

That cycle can go on indefinitely till we end up with this for 100 mil

It's almost like we don't already have a brilliant heritage stand in place that could be refurbished as part of a new development...

So many different directions we could take at Punt Road, but there is complete tunnel vision.

They could jack the price up to 150 million for the current plan, and the club would just rattle their tin cans harder in response, instead of looking for better and cheaper ways to go.

This stinks of vested interests, and it's rank-and-file members coughing up for it, as usual.

We don’t have a stand that could be refurbished. It’s derelict

I’d suggest the biggest problem with re writing plans are the permit applications

Why a 200 space underground car park? Are we going to car pool ?

Bunch of hot air, not going to be hard getting them approved if we're scaling plans backwards

Our issue is racing the clock and the dollar as evidenced by costs almost doubling already. That's not going anywhere and just gets worse the longer it goes on

All they have to do is hire Mick Gatto to negotiate a lease for the land between the stand and the Northern goals.

Mick Gatto works as a mediator between builders and the unions.

JDS is in way better condition than the 1926 stand was at South Melbourne, vested interests are just telling you that it 'can't be saved'

As I have said before, this is a rather overbearing refurb for my tastes, but the intended VIS function was totally different:

It's all about creative thinking vs the bulldozer mentality

More than anything else right now, it's the economy!

The whole thing should be put on hold until:
-we get some transparancy of the true cost (they are talking another interest rate rise now, inflation is still here).
-we get back to winning ~10-13 games per year, with the earnings security that brings.

$100million should be rebuilding the whole site

I don't know anything about building but everyone says costs are high now. Maybe we start banking profits and begin building when costs come down?

That would be common sense
