“For our members there is the Flight Plan which any little bit of money towards would really help in our players having the facilities that will get us hopefully to be the number one team again,” Hird said.
“I think the club has done a great job in raising the money so far through corporate support, from the state government, the federal government and some donors who have donated a lot of money.""

Hird has little doubt the Bombers new high performance centre will rival that of other clubs in the league.
""It is a very exciting time and everyone at the football club realises we are a long way off the facilities that the other 17 clubs in the AFL have,” he said.
“We used to have the best facilities 10-12 years ago but unfortunately time moves on and we don’t have now so it will be great to come out here, set up a new base.”
“Currently we are training at Victoria Park, Collingwood's old home ground and they don’t even use it as their first home ground so it is a bit ridiculous but it is great to now have a facility that we can call our own.”
