Anybody know where and when this will be held.

I am hoping Moorabbin as it would be nice to allow us the fans to say goodbye.

It on Sunday the 15th of March between 11am to 2pm

At Frankston Park, Young Street Frankston

Agree Spinner, what's this with this Frankston bullshyte, we are a SEAFORD club lol!!!

If they had any brains the Family Day would be at Trevor Barker Oval, to celebrate our new Sandy alliance, not outer Melbourne!

You must have very little idea in promotion......

Seaford is part of the Frankston Municipulity, it's about marketing to our new training facility and not about marketing our allegiance with Sandringham

Yes, it's inconvenient for some, but a lot of Stkilda supporters live along the Frankston train line area and we will be relocating to Seaford so it's a ideal place for promoting the club to be continuely making links with the population down that way.

More than "a lot" of Saints supporters don't live on that line. Many live in the northern and eastern suburbs and will no longer be bothered going to the family day. The result will be fewer kids following the Saints in the future.

I know of many families that used to go to family days at Moorabbin, but did not go last year because it was too far. Their kids will no longer have the enthusiasm to follow the Saints.

Oh yes of course it's too far for people even outer the melbourne area!! Definitely of course you win some, you lose some. It's very difficult to please every supporter with where you stage the event.

I live in Essendon - 15 minutes by car from the city.....Yet I feel as if i barrack for Adelaide or some other interstate club.

The Family days are a joke anyway.

Yet nobody seems to mind these St Kilda supporters making the trek into the city from Frankston & surrounds each week. :roll:

Unless anyone has the actual percentages of where the majority of saints supporters live, I guess it is pointless to argue which location suits the majority...

I think the Family Day should be held in Flemington this year. When I get the train to the dome I sometimes see other Saints supporters going to the game too.

Don't think I'll be going this year, I couldn't even take shots on goal last year since they were always running kiddie clinics at both goals.

I live on the paki line so it's a real pain for me either way, but I'm confident that the club know what they are doing. As for all the people complaining about it now being too far away for them, think about people like us in the outer suburbs who have had to slog it through for years... I was really hoping for us to move to Cranny... :cry:

If you don't have a car, there would be a bus from Cranbourne to Frankston

In any case if we were still at Moorabbin, just how did you get there in the past?

Would have gone but for the air show.

And the distance wouldn't have worried me at all, as long as we are eventually set up with elite facilities.

I live in Berwick so I have always had to get a train to caulfield and then get a train to Moorabbin from there.

Cranny would be a lot easier because I could just get a lift down but I don't know anybody generous enough with their time to go down to Moorabbin :lol:

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

It should be held at Belvedere Park - the place of the future - not at Frankston Park which is a reminder of a forgettable step in the transition from Moorabbin to a bright new future at Seaford.
