Very interesting the wording use in relation to sports science which has become a dirty word since the Essendon fiasco.

I thought we were playing down on that old Rugby pitch for a minute until i read it again.

Awesome to have the name back

Re: Footscray Bulldogs it is !!

It's a great way to get the traditionals back to the club, good decision in that regard. Personally, I voted for Western Bulldogs, mostly because I don't want our AFL side to revert to Footscray (much as I loved it) and take backward steps, and I was a little apprehensive about calling the VFL side Footscray as I feared it would lead to more calls to revert the rest of the club.

As long as this doesn't occur, I'm rapt they called them Footscray.

I feel exactly the same, 'scragger. 'Footscray' makes sense in a state competition.

The thing I'm most pleased about (particularly since I'm only a few hundreds metres from the ground) is that we're playing at Whitten Oval. I look fwd to walking over to the ground with my young kids to watch our young side go around.

Now the Rising Sun can open up again and it's all happening.

Whats happening with the Rising Sun? I remember as a kid when the old bridge was replaced with the new one that virtually hid the Rising Sun and I guess eventually killed it.

Great news on all fronts. Don't think we can underplay the importance of the VU partnership. A massive thing for a club like us as we battle others who have resources much more easily available.

Re: Footscray Bulldogs it is !!

Now wondering if having a stadalone will cost that much in the long run, if at all?

Surely a few thousand turning up, buying food & drinks etc at WO will earn the club some $$$

Re: Footscray Bulldogs it is !!

Great news. Love the fact that they are reverting back to the Footscray name for the ressies team.

The club has really taken some massive steps forward (both on and off the field) this year. The future is so damn exciting. It is a great time to be a Bulldogs supporter.

Being redeveloped into apartments.
