#DreamBig
Former Socceroo Steve Horvat and I hatched a plan 2 years ago over many meetings to see if the West of Melbourne could build and sustain a successful Club in the A-League.
I had my doubts at first although Steve never wavered. One thing we both agreed on from outset to have any chance of sustainability in A-League, having our own football stadium was central to our plan.
If FFA approve our bid, I look forward to working closely with leading construction company Probuild to build our boutique stadium. Especially pleasing is that ex Socceroo and Brunswick Juventus star Andrew Zinni is the main man at Probuild. We have already started planning construction!
Every bid of the 15 submitted will have their own merits. Its actually fantastic that so many people have faith in the future of football in Australia.
The next week or two will be tense as we wait to see which of the 15 bids are short listed.
Good luck to all of the other 14 bid teams. I know how much time, effort and money they will have spent preparing their bids. As our tag says #DreamBig
