If I'm donating 250 bucks or more you think they'd throw in the jumper... not like they are paying for them anyway

 

[Henry85]

I'd actually be prepared to donate $250+ if they made an announcement for stage 5 and complete the stadium but think that's at least 5-8 years away

1 M for a new scoreboard... really in this day in age? Give better access to digital interface ...the new scoreboard is in everyones pocket.

Surely you can pick one up at Harvey Norman on interest free for cheaper!

The 3 m LED panels that go into these things are ridonkulous. Super quality, weather proof. the whole deal.

If indeed its a mill - depending on size - its not bad.

Pretty sure I saw that the new board is a similar size to the Moorabool Street wing board so it will be a big step up from the tiny city end version it is replacing (there will only be two next year, not three).
Now, if we could somehow convince the club to use the whole board for video and scores/stats and not have a third of it taken up by a Momentum Energy ad...

What a pointless ad that is... Most of it's just black anyway!

No chance you're getting a jumper mate

Not unless you buy a 3 game membership of course

 

[Kardinia Boy]

Slightly worried about the fans invading the pitch as the team run on though...

I wouldn't be too worried about them. They'll be too busy holding LCD panels so the around the ground advertising will still work

Really starting to come along now. Some of the top tier going up, and seemingly the footy dept seems to be coming together

I'd imagine the coaches boxes and media stuff will be removed very very shortly and then that hole filled in and it will really take off

 

[Turbocat]

Shame the cameras will not be placed in the hickey , it would look a very different game once the stand is finished.

Would they be used for the GFL finals ?

A few more views of the Social Club facilities that were displayed at the game today.

I would think they could be set up in other corporate boxes as the space for media will not be as demanding for the GFL

I wonder what they'll do for that T20 next year? The stand will still be 3 months from completion, so I wouldn't have thought they could partially move in. They might divide this years peroni lounge/pivots into smaller media rooms? Or maybe the couple of corporate boxes in the hickey and premiership stands would be enough?

T20 doesn't need coaches boxes so the opposition box could be used for media, as well as some of the corporate boxes in the premiership stand

 

[aCunningPlan]

Yeah the media will be set up in the premiership stand since the unique orientation for cricket at the ground will have the premiership stand being the arm of the bowler.

They could probably use the northern corporate boxes in the hickey stand too I suppose. Also they'll only need 3 on air boxes, with 9, ABC and 3AW.

I wouldn't think so... but i did wonder that myself
