The Development

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Keogh would know that as well.
you would think...

anyway, interesting that stuff has been delayed

Exactly $10 million then means we are competing for the grand final now!

Annnnnnd apartments we can offer the families of (wink, wink) prospective new players that wish to transfer over to the progressive new Shark Park Rivers Of Gold.

Why would the Club want to give the SMH any sort of story is beyond me.

Keogh should STFU!

They were generous in giving us the up front payment to save the Clubs debt crisis now everything else is a bonus.

The SMH has hardly had a good word to say about our Club in recent years and now Keogh decides to help them with another negative story directed to the Club.

FMD!

Would be nice if someone copy and pastes the story or at least the link.

I just googled Sydney Morning Herald Coolum and found it in their sports section.

Come to Emu Park .... It is the 70's .... and I love it.

ain't that the truth!

 

[Quigs]

ain't that the truth!

There is a window of opportunity there too Ima - we still don't have a taxi service. They have to come from 20k away.

Keogh has been shitty from day one that the club didn't get a bigger slice right off the bat.
He went semi public saying that Irvines board has put together a bad deal.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Hmmm

well. I guess we weren't in a position to bargain much more if any

 

[Mr Angry]

Hey we need some updated photos of it.

Where are all the locals?

Drove past it today and was going to take a pic but phone was under my seat.
It's not as big as you'd think.
It's big
But not skyscraper concrete jungle big.
The views will be awesome
Even from about 2nd or 3rd floor up

What's your take on it, with a bit of inside knowledge?

My opinion following the whole process from afar is that we got a fair deal considering we weren't in a great position to bargain...a "take it or leave it" scenario.

It must be remembered that previous boards tried to get it underway & failed. Also, I think we took the option that wouldn't put the club at risk of going under with it....well the opposite actually.

That tower that is nearly completed is one of the smaller ones I think.

Yeah I know but because there is nothing around there it sort of looks ok.
Still heaps of space .
They look good.

It's what we do with the money that can be the game changer for our Club.

Invest some in other lucrative businesses. I'm not saying put the Club in any risky situation that they could go under with but definitely don't be ultra conservative with the windfall.

I think it would be great for the Club to build a property/business portfolio that keeps growing the pie.

 

[txta2]

Looks like a generic block of apartments like the ones in Zetland at the moment. Don't know what the inside is like

 

[Generalzod]

A blast from the past:

A blast from the past:

Looks like Gaddafi's palace .

Story has it , residents move in October.Judging by where they are at ,doubt it.End November more likely.
Working on landscaping around the current towers ,painting.Inside have NFI.
There has to be certification by an authority as to the units,lifts,fire escapes are all in working order or as planned.that doesn't happen overnight.

The deal we got was fantastic. Still is. 10 million upfront was a big result.
