ST KILDA'S search for a new home could take the club to Frankston as the Saints cast the net wide to locate a base for their planned elite training facility.

The club is looking at relocating to the Junction Oval and to Casey Fields, Cranbourne, as well as to the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Monash University and Port Melbourne's VFL ground. Staying at Moorabbin is also still an option.

City of Frankston general manager Mark Brady said the council had been closely following talks between the Saints and the City of Kingston.

Plans to build the $10.5 million headquarters and training facility at Moorabbin hit trouble this year when the Kingston council refused to support the club's request to move poker machines 200 metres to a new social club.

"I think we have got a lot to offer them," Brady said. "We have got the (VFL) Dolphins here as well as a number of other sporting grounds and facilities we are looking to expand, and if they were interested in being a potential partner, we'd be keen."

He said the council was already planning to spend "tens of millions" to build a leisure and aquatic centre in the area, but had not yet chosen a site.

Any council that won the right to host the Saints would be expected to contribute towards the cost of the new facility, a fact that Brady said was not a problem.

While Frankston did not want to be seen as poaching the club from neighbouring Kingston, if the Saints decided to move, it would love to play host, he said.

"If the St Kilda Football club are genuine about seeking out an alternative home, we'd like to have some discussions," he said. "Location-wise, we are fantastic for them. Why wouldn't we put our hand up?"

The club and Brady had a preliminary talk on Friday and will meet next week to discuss the matter further.

"At this point in time and for the next few weeks we are happy to discuss this with anybody who makes sense and would fit the demographics of where we are," St Kilda chief executive Archie Fraser said.

"They are on our side of town, the bayside suburbs that we feel are traditionally our stronghold and our territory."

Fraser also said the club had met representatives from VFL club Port Melbourne, as well as Port Phillip council, about a possible move to Port's home ground. The parties will talk again in a fortnight.

The move comes after Port Melbourne general manager Barry Kidd said last month that the Saints were not welcome and could "go play on the moon". Fraser said the talks had been positive.
