Punt road

[Little Ziggyadee]

Last night was a disaster on field with 18 listed AFL kids vs 18 Bush wackers from Werribee but how about the Shithouse lighting?
It's not punt Rd 1987, when the players couldn't see the ball at 5 o'clock in the middle of winter.
We need a massive fund raiser for better lights.
That's was amateur hour last night.
The commentators were guessing who had the ball.

To be fair Zips the commentators were guessing who had the ball all over the ground, not just the poorly lit bits.

It was like those 2 Muppets at the opera.
They were calling the game but had no idea who had the ball.
Where were they calling the game from punt Rd or at home??

I wonder if they moved the cameras to the other side of the ground and projected back towards the grandstand, if that would improve the TV experience. It looked amateurish with the trains going past, dodgy train station, punt road traffic etc

Richmond has been given the green light to redevelop its spiritual Punt Rd Oval, including demolition of a historic grandstand.

The Herald Sun can reveal the State Government has given Richmond the go ahead for a $65 million revamp that will see the oval reshaped and reconfigured to the same size as the MCG and space for 8000 fans.

To make way for the next chapter at Tigerland, the Jack Dyer Stand built in 1914 will be demolished and a new one bearing the same famous name built in its place.

The Punt Rd redevelopment will extend into Yarra Park, with crown land between Richmond’s homebase and the MCG transformed into new community space.

Richmond chief Brendon Gale said it was “a really significant moment’’ for the club.

“We have worked closely with the State Government throughout this process and undertaken extensive stakeholder consultation,’’ he said.

“We share a vision for a facility that will deliver enormous community benefit, while also ensuring that it remains fit for the purpose of enabling elite sporting performance.’’

The Herald Sun in November revealed details of Richmond’s plans for its home of more than 135 years, including state-of-the-art facilities to host AFLW and VFL matches.

Planning Minister Richard Wynne has now given the plans the tick of approval and the club will seek a tender for work, hoping to start construction later this year.

“This redevelopment underpins the long-term future of the Club at Punt Road Oval, our home since 1885,’’ Gale said.

“It provides our women with outstanding facilities while broadening and deepening our industry-leading social impact programming.”

The revamp will see a four-level underground car park build with 260 spaces.

The new Jack Dyer Stand will boast a 1200-seat capacity and house the William Cooper Centre, Korin Gamadji Institute, Bachar Houli Foundation and the Melbourne indigenous Transition School.

Bricks from the original Jack Dyer Stand will be built into external paths as part of the expansion which is expected to be completed by the 2024 AFL season.

A victory for common sense.

Having a modern practical Jack Dyer Stand is a great outcome.

Will be interesting to see what sort/extent of access the community actually gets to this new space.

Secures our future.
Get ready to dig deep. We’re $30m short

This must be a tribute to Michael Roach…. The Disco Room

that $30m will build the "4 level underground car park" ..

sorry to see the old stand go, but this is great for the club
the design has character
and it doesn't look like another modern art gallery ...

It looks pretty impressive

Training and playing on an oval the same dimension as the MCG will be invaluable to our game style

 

[tigers80]

The biggest thing since our moving of home games to the G

 

[craig]

Yep looks amazing.

The New Digs looked great and when they build the new stand and dress up the Centre a bit the place will be something at Punt Road I'd never thought possible, back in the SOS days with the Tiger on the Grandstand Roof.

Now's the time to strike and do it.

We wont have the bargaining power we have now when we are sheizen again.

Where do we train while it gets built? Better not be back to Crazieburn.
