The current board's legacy is that they are wholly and solely responsible for sending us to Siberia, oops I mean Seaford and when this becomes obvious to everyone, as it already is obvious to me, that this is a white elephant, yes I'll be the first one to tell you, I told you so!
Our club had a golden opportunity to really establish itself nearer to our true spiritual home, the club isn't called St Kilda for nothing and yet the current board have taken the club even further from the city centre to a hole like Belvedere Park, as if this is a good place to base an AFL club.
It's fair dinkum outrageous!
They got in without even a murmur as to their intentions, kept it real quiet, but five minutes in and we're off to Frankston which ends up being Seaford, after yet another c**k up.
After the Frankston deal went pear shaped the response from the current board was to go looking for a vacant lot.
If they really wanted to find a vacant lot, all they needed to do was organize another board meeting!
Are you on the board, friends of a board member or do have some close connection to someone on the board?WayneJudson42 wrote:

Make up your mind.
Perhaps you can take over the club, and we can set up all 3 plus Seaford, and Moorabbin (Our 2nd spiritual home)?
We can then get those huge billboards like Mac Donalds and instead of golden arches, they'd read "Saints training base 2.5km ->"
So no matter where a player is, they'll never be too far away from a training facility.
Think about the the marketing bonanza, extra merchandise sales, and our ability to attract even more members.
I'll nominate for vice Prez to help you implement the grand vision.
While we're at it... let's set up an elite training facility in St Kilda, Scotland. Our real, original, TRUE spiritual home. Players can go there for their end of season trip and make the pilgrimage like the Muslims do to Mecca (no offence).
G o g g o... Hoots yoo mighty Sainters! Kick the blooody thing doon the goots, and stop fricking arooond with thart stuuupid floooding!
We could offer an international membership package known as "The Tartan Club". And the new coterie group called The Sporrens.
We'd then play our club song at the Dome with bagpipes to make our Scottish brothers feel connected.
You know it makes sense!
Fess up
The St kilda football club should have moved closer to St kilda not further away in god forsaken Seaford.
Seriously anyone who thinks this is a good location to base an AFL club is a fair dinkum idiot!
St kilda football club should be located in St kilda or somewhere nearby such as Elsternwick Park, to move the club further away from St kilda and the city centre will be a decision that will haunt the club in the future.
This white elephant in a piss poor location, will be the legacy of the current board, who swept into power with NO mention of what they had in mind, yet within 5 minutes we are off to Frankston.
Talk about taking the members for granted, it's disingenuous at best, but in truth just downright dishonest.
They knew about the location when the ballots were sent out, but not once did they inform the members of the location they intended to relocate the club to.
This is just wrong, pure and simple.
All the apologist flogs, servile underlings and blowhards who never question anything the club does, just passively accept as if these turkeys know what they're actually doing.
They are making it up on the run as if the Frankston to Seaford transition isn't evidence enough.
We were basically played, vote for us yada yada, we will do this, we will do that, but not once were we told of the location that they'd obviously already decided on, as no sooner had they assumed control and it's Frankston here we come, which then turned into Seaford after yet another c**k up.
In virtually 5 minutes and such a monumental decision in the clubs future, is just foisted upon us.
Just a law unto themselves and the members are treated with contempt, not that many are any the wiser to begin with.
Blatant dishonesty!
