Western Bulldogs
The Western Bulldogs, formerly known as the Footscray Football Club, is based at the Whitten Oval in Footscray, an inner western suburb of Melbourne. The club draws its supporter base from this traditionally working class area and plays its home matches at the Telstra Dome in the Melbourne Docklands, also in the city's inner west.
Historically one of the VFL's less successful clubs, both in terms of on-field success and off-field resources, the club has taken significant steps to all but eliminate this stigma. The Club has had stable sponsorship and in 2006 it exceeded its membership target of 26,000, a record for the Club. The Whitten Oval is also undergoing a $20m redevelopment - set to make its headquarters and training facility among the best in the League.
