Just phoned the council and was told that the redevelopment is still in the design stage and will need to be approved at a council meeting. Work should begin early next year. No doubt we will hear something from the club soon!

Maybe I missed it but did we ever hear what the club thought of the council's redevelopment proposal?

I'm not sure that the Club has told us what they think about anything, Aldo! They have restocked on covid masks tho, apparently.

with crows going to thebarton oval does that mean our changes are put on hold

They have started ripping out the terracing on the Northern side pocket next to the scoreboard.
Lots of temporary fencing has been put up from the southern city side pocket all the way around the ground to the southern old scoreboard pocket.
Looks like no one will be allowed on the outer for quite a while.

Just adding to my previous post, The red area on the map has been demolished as of last Saturday.
The white line roughly indicates where the fencing is blocking supporters from using the outer.

They start this a week before the first game!!??
footy will be played there from April till mid August (less then 5 months)
could this not have been done during the other 7 months of the year??? idiots!

The outer is stage 1. All those factories on South rd will be demolished due to the upgrade of South Road.
That area behind that pocket where the terrace has been demolished will become a playground.
I was told there will be an entrance to the ground with a bridge being built over the creek behind the Northern goals.
Also the mound bar comes down next year as part of stage 2.
It's going to be a bit messy for a while.

At least I know where to buy my lotto tickets!
