Went for a stroll around PRO..... No doubt the odd tree hugger will lodge a complaint.

Thanks very much for posting this TBV. There is lots of good information about the project on the Heritage Victoria website, including other options the club has considered. Well worth a look.
There were a few people circling PRO with clipboards earlier today, hopefully not objectors gathering notes.
Well, the biggest question is, surely, what sort of jumping castle do they intend to include ?
(And will there be a helicopter pad ?)

Been having a look at some of the detailed plans.... proposed view of oval looks a tad damp underfoot.
More people are starting to hear of him now his name is being connected to the development.
Once you hear the history and background story you may feel differently about the idea.
According to Benny they're going to recycle as many of the bricks as possible in some way or other. Not sure how but that is part of the brief.
Each to their own.
But believe me, I'm not a bleeding heart and never been accused of being woke, William Cooper was a truly great man and an important figure in Australian (not just indigenous Australian) history.
Curious to what people think about there not being a dedicated museum space in the redevelopment?
Would've thought even just a mid sized room could've been dedicated?
I understand there will be 'rotating exhibitions', but that comes off a little like tokenism ..

Agree, the old clubs like Richmond need to maintain the history. There should be a museum.

Pee'd off
I asked this question when Brendon did that presentation a few weeks ago and was worried by the vague answer
That old museum, old fashioned as it was was terrific and run by passionate people
As if they could not build a special space for it

Maybe we could do something similar. I was thinking we could have the Jack Dyer stand stored underneath a generic grandstand, then gets transposed (or transformed?) back up for Tigers matches and events
Just wouldn't look the same having a crowd on the oval for another Richmond GF win without that beautiful old stand as background.
