Q&A:* We've put the AFL on the radar about contributing to the funding. We believe we have a compelling case given it will be a community facility. We will be fundraising ourselves and the Club will be on the hook for the bulk of the cost.
* If it doesn't go ahead then we'll remain at Punt Road for the immediate future but our long term future here would be jeopardised. Our current facilities aren't up to scratch. We now have multiple teams to cater for and the ground only holds max. 2500.
* The Jack Dyer Stand isn't heritage listed but Yarra Park is. As we're changing our footprint in Yarra Park so we've made a submission to Heritage Victoria.
* Need to wait and see if there's any components of the old Jack Dyer Stand for fans to purchase. Our fundraising committee is looking at it. As mentioned components of the old stand will be reused in the redevelopment.
* Someone asked the Club about creating a virtual tour of the old Jack Stand stand to preserve it for future Tiger supporters. Benny took the question on notice.
* The William Cooper name relates only to the community centre within the centre as a whole.
* Asked about night games at Punt Road, there's no game-standard lights proposed in the plans but it may. We already do have lights fit for training. We would need extra lights to support night matches.
* Benny mentioned a "living museum" in the club's entrance atrium.
