New training facility.

Interesting to hear that the boys may be having some training sessions at the new training facility in Cockburn.
Hopefully the supporters will be allowed in to watch them if it happens.
It is still a building site so I am not sure whether it will be allowed due to work safe, Occ health and safety.
But it is getting closer and the excitement mounts.

I live in the suburb next door and it is an endless source of entertainment :)

But in all seriousness I can't see them letting the public in anytime soon, as anchorman said its still a full blown construction site at the moment.

The news the other night said that later in the year, closer to finals, they may train there.
I am not sure that if they do train there, that they will let the general public in.But if in allowing the boys to train there, I can't see any reason not to let the public in as long as they are confined to certain areas.
But also works safe may not allow it to happen, either way,Players or supporters.
I am only five minutes away from the new facility, and can't wait for it to be open to us all.

You can go to Freo oval now and watch them train (when its not a closed session) and you can be within metres of the players.

I know I can go to Fremantle oval, but it doesn't suit me to.
At Success it will make it simple for me.

Someone had to make the joke.

No not really, it gets dull and boring after you have heard it a million times.
Not original material you know.
