The more they scream from the rooftops, the more questions will be asked about the 'actual' stadium. This is something they want to avoid as there is zero progress on that front. This ground is all Wyndham council. WU are just a tenant. However, I'd assume WU would need to fit the bill for the temp seating. You'd hope they'd get 3-4k temp seats in, but with this mob, who knows. 

Or until Maynard and Kate Roffey are booted out of the council.... Yup, better position than most clubs indeed.

Your speculation has no basis.

Your right, but I would really laugh my ass off if the council finally gets this regional football facility off the ground ( Bihlibidis claimed May 2023 last time ......... *crickets) and realises they will gain better appreciation from their constituents by having local women's clubs use it rather than a private company..... You know, off the back of the WWC and everything??? hahahahahah

You're obsessed with negativity and hanging shit on everything non Hellas related or involvement.

Um ...... same can be said about you but the exact opposite Paulie ....Hahahahahha Dont be a hypocrite.

I don't cheer lead on anyone getting machined gun down, if that's what you mean Con.

Are you suuuuuuurrrrrreeeeee? Maybe a few pesky Greekie Poos here and there? C'mon dont play coy with me big boy.... I know you'd like the NCIP back and for all Greek Australians to be deported quick smart.... Its OK mate, this is a safe space you can confess your innermost desires....... 

I bet you're no where near that crowd, mate.

Truth is the Council own the facility, and WU will have to lease it, and share with other community organisations

Maybe I am maybe Im not ... bigger crowd than WU thats for sure... hahahahahahah

You would not be caught dead near an Aussie flag. Like garlic is to Dracula.

Unclear who's paying for these

These look like the seats for the main stand so the council is paying for those.
I count 1512 seats.

somebody should be making a doco on this 

Looks like somebody over ordered then mate :) the actual "stadium" doesn't look like it would take more than 500-700 seats.

I recounted, looks like it's 1008 seats.
Each panel has 84 seats and it appears to be a total of 12 panels.
So pretty similar to a bunch of suburban grounds around Melbourne.

Wonder why they didnt go with green and black seating for their "own" home stadium though?

Maybe the council is hedging their bets? tee hee.

Probably more a case of a 'give us your absolute cheapest option possible'.
Grey seats on grey concrete in the middle of a paddock. About as uninviting as it gets.
Something is better than nothing and can't complain too much about any football infrastructure being actually built in Victoria.

Its a far cry from their renders though isnt it? :)  Oh well, wonder how they will spin this new "boutique stadium" experience being soooo much better than the unsuitable Lakeside...... 

They have a doco on Paramount but it's rough viewing 

City wont get a stadium built for them by CFG. 

From my understanding of it, CFG have next to no interest in the A-league as a whole, in comparison to the booming MLS. 

They just want to be able to continue to sell players from Melbourne City on to other clubs. 

They have already made their investment back through the sales of Mooy, Bos, etc. Tilio is another one that will be sold on, as will Glover.

City could net 3m to 4m in sales this season, which is all CFG care about. 

Hard to dispute. they are spending over a billion AU to build a stadium for New York City FC, yet can't spare 20% of that cost to build Dandenong stadium.

New York City FC is the jewel in the crown of CFG.

That club isnt about selling players. Its about having a presence in the biggest city on the planet. Having a stadium of their own opposite Citifeild and a stones throw from the US Open tennis facility is the dream for CFG. They have achieved this.

They wont see the need in building a stadium out here. It adds nothing to what they are doing, which is finding, developing and selling players through Melbourne City FC. 

This is why they are happy to pay Maclaren $1 million a season as a marquee, because as long as he is there, they will be up the top of the table, and young kids will want to go there, and amongst these young kids will be some sellable players, of which they will profit. 

Its taken some time, but its a very smart model to run a club on. 

Well you guys are kind of killing the fun of following the team... 

Glover is out of contract right, meaning he can leave for free?

Not sure what Tillio's contract situation is.

Its the obvious way to run an A-League club.  The Mariners did it.  Adelaide is doing it

This is a selling league not a destination league.

So you've gone from "they ll never build the stadium" to "the seats are grey"

No, but it IS "their stadium" isnt it? If thats what these charlatans are claiming wouldn't you think they would at least have seats to reflect that? 

BTW, still dont think they will EVER build the "shovel ready" stadium their bid hinged on, its a pipe dream... this is a 500 seat council ground , NPL 3 level at best, they are now going to pass off as the spiritual hoe of football in the west.... hahahahahahha its actually quite hilarious.
