Those horizontal escalators like at the airport at the very least just because they feel cool when you walk on them

Forget that for the MCG I want one for home as well.

Club just takes and takes

They're not taking anything, mate. You can give, or not give.

I suggest you look at the price of RFC membership compared to say Collingwood. They pay almost twice as much and have to sit in the Ponsford stand. With Collingwood people.

Interesting how things change. Back during the 0-3-75 donation back in 2010 I was happy to donate (I think I donated about $1000 at that time). I would like to donate again, but things are different now.

Back then I was young, single and had very little expenses. Now I am married with a couple of kids and a mortgage. I am at an age where I have to think of 20-30 years down the track of my retirement and also how to save up and help my children in the future.

And there we go its a requirement of the building permit so ..........................the end

It's a planning related requirement which is not mandatory. It is usually reduced in areas with good public transport. Sometimes it is met. The club has elected to exceed the requirement which is highly unusual.

Exceed the requirement by f/all

 

[beema limapep]

Exceed the requirement by f/all

36 extra unnessesary spaces just an extra "f/all" 2 to 2.5 million dollar cost which apparently the club doesn't have the money for but the fans are being asked to pay for.

Imagine if we put that 2 million dollars into proper things like recruitment, conditioning and player development.

There’s a soft cap on those things. So really you’re just advocating to pay a huge tax bill to the AFL

You’d rather do that then improve our facilities

I'd rather not spend the money at all if it's unnessesary, which the car spaces certainly are in my opinion.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Rather have 1000 car spaces and use it for MCG games for any supporters
Charge them extra

If you read the PDF you will see the MCG is locating disabled parking in the new Punt rd development, here is a snip


So what you deem as unneccessary others deem essential to be able to attend games

What’s the point of a carpark, when it is rarely open. Only usually gets open when less than 40k in attendance. I can picture the day with 2 main train stations either side they will permanently close parking.

Its not open tomorrow because its a mud bath

That’s understandable, but in general its closed more then it’s open. Or strong restrictions.

I suppose thats why they want the new accessible parking in the new development at Punt rd, it will be 100% reliable and not subject to weather
