Welcome to Essendon Football Club's flight plan to Melbourne Airport.
Essendon Football Club has a vision to build the biggest and best training and administration facility in the AFL. The project cost to secure this generational outcome for the Club is $25 million.
The Club has a comprehensive fundraising strategy to ensure the success of the project with funding sought from the Federal and State governments, as well as the AFL. But a project of this size requires a substantial investment from the Club.
This will be at least $14 million and the Club is looking to our members and supporters for $3 million of this amount.
The flight plan website will keep members and supporters up to date with all the latest information about the facility, project timelines, the funding challenge, how to donate and our in flight rewards program. You will also hear from Club Chairman David Evans, Coach James Hird and Captain Jobe Watson.
If ever there has been a time for the Bomber army to stand as one, rally behind the Club and show your support, this is it.
This is the time for Essendon Football Club to take the next step to stay ahead of our competitors. With Free Agency and 18 teams, the new facility at Melbourne Airport will enable us to attract and retain the best players, coaches and administrators to Essendon.
David Evans
Chairman, Essendon Football Club
