Mariners Centre of Excellence is GO!

There's a pictue on the front of the local paper look good.

The whole project is about developing revenue streams so it would be stupid not to!

Depends how many they think will come to the games and weather it is worth staffing a bar area.

Having not seen any of the proposed plans or the fly through presentation, it may come down to how close it is to the club building, very close and we may have to walk into the club to get a beer.

Wondering if this ground is going to be based on the Belconnen ground?

Its only a training ground for the Mariners; matches will be played at Bluetongue. The NYL and W-League will play matches but I'm not sure that justifies opening a bar in the "boutique" grandstand.

Is there enough land to build a 40000 seat stadium as part of this development?

 

[Bex]

It wasn't mentioned at all although this is "Stage 1". One step at a time I guess. Plenty of time to build a stadium before 2018.

The plans call for a six storey administration and sports medical facility ... any idea if the University is partly or fully funding the building as I understand (just from general media reports) that the University will be doing a lot of work there and using Mariners squads as working models for a lot of what they wish to do.

 

[Bex]

Yes, the picture on front page of Express Advocate shows a 6 story high building. Thats just the club, conference, catering and admin (?) building. There is another building on the other side of the existing club which is about the same size and its got accomodation, sports science centre, gym, indoor pool and admin (?). As you can see, I can't recall which building housed admin.

No detail has been given on the Uni but I don't know whether it will involve much more than what they're already doing with Andrew Clarke currently. I guess the improved facilities would encourage more involvement. LOL that Uni of Newcastle would choose Mariners rather than Jest for this stuff.

From the clubs web site includes the model and building time frame.

this is great for the mariners and will hopefully give us an edge on all of the rest clubs

My one beef is that opposing teams will come to the Coast and have world class facilities in terms of accom / training fields. Reciprocation plz

Careful there ... that is a very old and often used football chant at this time of the year... showing a lack of knowledge maybe...
