Not only did the Blues have a great win over the swans today. June 19th has been an eventful day in the past for our club as well.

In summary

- Anniversary of our first ever VFL/AFL win in round 6 1897
- The first stage of the Ald Gardiner stand was completed in 1909
- We held St Kilda scoreless for 3 quarters in 1915, their final score was 1.1 7
- It was the day the Pie stand caught fire against the Pies in 1982

We were there when the piestand caught fire.....we all thought it was hilarious for some reason.

I'm been trying to recall the match and the ground...Waverley?....when the electronic scoreboard caught fire.

Jeepers I was at both of those games.

They stopped the game at the MCG, but not at Princes Park.

I agree, we did think it was hilarious at the time.

I have a video of the fire in the scoreboard on an old VHS tape.
It is somewhere amongst a lot of old tapes.
I must get stuck into them, and get the good stuff off them.
