Looking forward to it. But I'm a little sceptical.
Will be opened with a ceremonial dropping of the flagpole and clocking a fan on the head.... :thumbsup:

Go Blues

If they absolutely positively had to demolish a grandstand, the Gardiner stand would have been my choice not the Heatley. Heritage overlay or not.

I did a job out there years ago, and a bloke told me they couldn't demolish the Gardner stand as the lattice work on it made it heritage listed. Something along those lines.

Its already falling apart . The sooner they get on with it the better . Something , anything , to try and restore the joint to anything like it used to be . Boys , don't get me wrong , i'm not against new stuff around the joint . Its just the whole thing looks like a disjointed mishmash . Just add on , and add on , and no clear future vision .

Carlton should have been held to account long ago over the disrepair that building has already encountered. It wasn't all that long ago that multiple possum families called the Gardiner Stand home until they were evicted by a fox who took up residence in their stead.

I'd like to see the seating removed from in front of the stand, so that the history is showcased more. I think there'd be less of this disjointed mishmash if that were the case.
