Their offices never opened. It was for lease since they came in. The only thing connecting the offices was the signange . Their merch store is now an Indian clothes shop. 

Yep, looks like they moved admin to Caroline Springs facility.

Let me guess they took over the Georgies base?  Seriously they should stop fucking around and say were gonna be based in the city of Melton .

The merch store had a sign saying coming soon. Then when the road works finished it was still coming soon and then it became the Indian store.  

Their admin was never at leakes road though.  I work near there and before covid hit  there was not a soul in there . 

Yep, seem to recall it had been up for lease for some time.

I do wonder how many people they have working for them though anyway, as it seems to be a rather lean operation.

Amazing that they signed DWH for 3 years. I certainly wouldn’t have had any confidence to move to WU if I was a player. 

How they signed dwh  when they have no manager.  Uskok  I think is rumoured to join wsw and Kurto is a strange one but considering he lost his spot to Scott doesn't suprise me

I think I read that Macarthur were looking to sign Uskok, but yes Kurto just didn’t get another look in after Scott started getting game time. After so many heavy score lines, certainly odd they didn’t mix it up a bit.

The end of the season was a mess for WU and I guess we will have to wait and see what the talk is about what actually played out in the future. The nosedive in fork doesn’t just happen, especially to the levels they were being smashed by. 

Seemed like rudan losing the playing group a lot quicker than rumours state. . They need to get the new appointment right and hope to hell that their ceo and board don't do what mv did when  adp first came in 

That's where their NPL and youth teams are based out of and pretty sure that's where the seniors train as well. 

It is.  Still find it strange they didn't chose any of wyndham's clubs as a base 

Yep it’s strange, but the George Cross complex is brand new and quite a good facility so it is an appealing option. 

Iirc thei Georgies ground and truganina hornets are the same age. 

Hope he didn't fall for the old "We"ll build you a house mate, all yours, just sign here" and actually got a 3 year contract, for Australian dollars, in writing.

Are they merging with George Cross or just squatting?

It’s certainly something I have thought about as the rent money would be good but having them there with an academy just sees George Cross lose value in their own programs. 

sounds like a half decent idea. But not having been there before, is there room to do this?

I think the fences behind the goals are tall enough to hang the WU tarps from.... 

The ground  can add more seating.   But might need to appease the people living near the ground 

I don't think WUFC is going any where.

The financial rewards of all the free land is just too big a windfall, and the stadium will happen just not the way and timelines that everyone expected based on their AL application.

For WUFC to become a "successful club" would mean they have a stadium, preferably with a 15k capacity (but who really knows?), that has an average crowd of 10k.

Personally I don't see it, but the ground will be a form of multi-use so I expect to see concerts and some rugby games etc to make it pay for itself.
Along with rents from medical facilities etc. and if they were smart make the ground surrounded by retail outlets under the stands. I've seen this in Europe, so I'd expect they will do same.

Realistically the team itself really doesn't mean that much in the bigger scheme of things.

Let’s be honest, they only really need a 6-7k stadium at max currently, creating a good atmosphere that can stay least bring some interest to the club .

Getting approval from George Cross and the council would be interesting, especially with any additional traffic concerns (there is no PT there from what I have seen). They might as well use Somers Street if they can as it already has the facilities and the same no PT issue.

Melton council might approve it but they also need objections to come in .

They stated they didn't want mix use.  But they have to do something to get it across

Unless the rent offered is substantial, I'm not sure that Melbourne Knights would be interested in accommodating WU.

It could be a good money maker for MK, but yes it’s not something they may want to accommodate.

Many interesting things for WU to work through.

Didn't wu try already but got rebuffed .

Who k owns the real reason, but there were reports that Covid restrictions and required upgrades put a stop to the idea.

Was likely some spin as they likely didn’t want to pay what MK were asking for, but they don’t have many options left.

from what I understand lighting at the stadium isnt good enough for fox broadcast, and WU didnt want to fork out to pay for lighting fix. Pretty sure Peacock mentioned this in a fox sports podcast

What a complete and utter joke, farce and fraud this franchise is. An absolute shitstain on football and sport in this country. 

Really? Damn. The lighting seems very good from what I have seen but I’m no broadcasting expert :)
