Seems he's employed elsewhere. :lol:

The North Terrace now has a man on the inside

Dunno why heidelberg would need him athu, ellis and sheppard have been on fire

I think that no matter where he goes, he will prove to be a good investment on and off the pitch. Will pull crowds

From SGCFC Facebook page:

We are pleased to confirm that planning of our new facility is now well underway, with 4 grounds and club rooms. We are very excited about moving into our new home to be located in City Vista Ct, Taylors Hill West.

This has been in the works for a long time, I remember talking about this on the forums a few months back.

SGC are finally going to be on the move.

What does this mean for the club? Will there be a delay in construction? Isn't the new facility 15km away?

Picked the Archie Thompson move, right place at the right time to see that text

Up in Shepparton so going to see Goulburn Valley Suns vs Sunshine George Cross tomorrow can't wait to see former Mariners legend Dan Heffernan!

Melbourne Victory PS4 NPL Victoria Tribunal Ruling

The FFV ruling on Victory's penalties for the South Melb incidents was released today. Full ruling and explanation via the link.

Extremely light penalty considering Heidelberg got 9 reduced to 3 points for spectators swearing at a ref.

The assessment is damning but the penalty is light.

People compare to dandy thunder, but didnt dandy refuse to hand people over?

Yes, but in this case it was south that handed them over:lol:

The Heidelberg case is the real killer, 9 down to 3 on appeal just for swearing.

Yes, but it sounds like MV totally coperated and were active in suspending them.

No matter what the punishment was people would still whinge - but there is massive punishments handed down to individuals (seem to be unprecedented).

Personally I think it's a little light on, especially if it's suspended. I wouldve gone at least 12 on that, or 6 taken with 6 suspended.

Another one would be closed doors for six weeks.

It is 6 deducted and 6 suspended.

Ah ok, I thought it was just 6 suspended.

The 6 suspended is basically a free hit for the remaining games, the team is all but relegated so losing another 6 points isn't really going to cause much concern for the rest of the year. Will be very interesting when south goes to Epping next month.

See you next season City :lol:

Braedyn Crowley going great guns for northcote - the great escape is on

Do you think they'll put us in West with City? Or would they put us back in East?

A derby would be cool, even at NPL2 level.

MVFC Media Release - MVFC Youth v South Melbourne at Epping Stadium:
http://www.melbournevictory.com.au/article/npl-victoria-game-to-be-played-behind-closed-doors/7m56irv9tiaj1apr762zw8s63

Victory youth relegated to NPL 2 for the 2017 season after Northcote City and Bulleen Lions drew 1-1.

We will still play them regardless. They will put us in east but I'd like to be west.

Melbourne Knights v Melbourne Victory Youth - postponed:
http://www.mfootball.com.au/victory-vs-knights-npl-match-postponed/

Whilst we may be relegated, City won't be going up. (Y)

Sorry - completely missed this one.

Well the teams last match of the season will be the final game held at Chaplin. After that, the club is on the move.

I doubt that the construction will be completed in time for next season and I'm yet to hear where they plan to play their matches, but my money is on games being played at local junior club Westside Strikers (Brookside Reserve, Caroline Springs). It's located only a few kms away from where the new development will be. Westside Strikers started out a few years back as SGC's U7 to U10 club. This year the clubs split and GC fielded sides from U9s up, Westside Strikers from U7 up to U20s. There is a synthetic pitch, but no seating. It would have to be approved by the FFA/FFV. Both clubs still use the pitch for training, for juniors of all levels. 

So that is one guess, the other is Spring Hills, same thing just a few kms away, 2 synthetic pitches and a bit more space though, so it might be a preference. Westside Strikers is on a main road with not a lot of parking, Spring Hills doesn't have much parking either but is in a side street, may be a council preference.

In answer to your question about distance between old ground and new, yeah it's about 12-15km or so away. 

The club has changed, old supporters are gone, still a few around but it will be interesting to see what sort of crowds they get after the move. We can all agree Chaplin towards the end had some of the worst facilities, shocking pitch, outdated change rooms, etc.

Hopefully the change is a new beginning..

Hopefully seating and ffa cup appropriate.
