Western Bulldogs hope Ballarat clash persuades state government to boost Eureka Stadium’s capacity

[Twodogs]

We've been shithouse at Etihad most games this season - even West Coke beat us there. Conversely we're unbeaten at the MCG for the last 2 years, so playing in the elements really seems to suit us.

Imagine how damaging Dixon and Ryder would have been in pristine conditions under the roof today.

I love our push into Ballarat. The ground surface is in magnificent nick, the city itself is a great place to visit with a thriving arts scene, and it is the end point of the western region of suburban Melbourne making it a fantastic breeding ground for new supporters in the fastest growing corridor in Australia. We are working the relationship very strongly, and the local community has gotten behind us. If Geelong can weasel $90m of marginal seat Govt funding for their pissant toy ground, I look forward to further funding and investment in Ballarat and Mars Stadium. This will be a game changer for the club for generations to come.

Good point. Ballarat will effectively be the the outer western region of Melbourne eventually with the fast rail and the improvements to the highway. That gives us a huge catchment area for support if we play our cards right.

Fingers crossed (for my sake) house prices sky rocket in Ballarat during this time
