Thought I’d give an update regarding some issues that I've heard about recently from around the club.

Current membership 40,665, hoping for a late rush. Sold quite a few early last week with the talk of finals.

Redevelopment of ground to commence end of July with demolition of stands. The building is at the tender stage at present. Cost approx $15m with govt’s contributing a bit over $10m

New sponsorship deal to be announced in about a month. Communications company will reduce current level of sponsorship and new sponsor will take its place on jumpers etc + more $. Biggest sponsorship in the AFL, even surpassing the recent Hyundai deal. This deal does not involve an airline, but the club is aware of the airline’s interest but it won’t commit until it gets Melb landing rights. Unlikely that the new announcement will be made on a Friday :wink:

Fev contract expected to be completed and announced next week.

Murphy contract close to finalised. Waite contract agreed to just to be signed and announced.

Jamo signed for 3 as has Hampson.

The club is delighted with the progress of the young guys, very happy to continue along the youth and development path irrespective of wins this year.

Currently speaking with AFL & MCC to renegotiate home game split. Looking to secure a 7 – 4 split between MCG & Dome. Avg attendance at games this year is 63k.

Bloody good news about Hampson :shock: That means the only way the new Gold Coast team can get him is via trading. Great work Blues.

I aim to please Jars.

Given the "vibe" around here of late I thought it could do with a little bit of cheering up.
