makes sense.

makes sense.

Don’t disagree probably not enough cash in the bank from donations to fund a proportion of it

 

[tiger_tough]

Not enough digital bricks and too many carparks

Never seen so many happy campaigners at the razing of our history.

Not erasing history, creating new history, in 100 years a small percentage of our million supporter base will feel the same about this stand.

That's what they said about Penn station in 1963.

And even now are a heap of people who couldn't give a crap about Penn station.

I'd probably be more concerned about the pyramids... or stonehenge or the hanging gardens of babylon...

I was busy being born at the time, must have missed the story.

You can look it up.

Old news, I'm way to busy waiting for a new stand at Tigerland, just what the club needs to move into the 21st century.

going to drive pact just to have a look at the demo

Careful of the piles of digital bricks, they are hard to see sometimes

The Doozy's have trained it down already.

What a ridiculous statement

It's true. Comparing a railway station to wonders of the world is ridiculous. Comparing the Jack Dyer stand to Penn Station would be close to ridiculous as well. Any old stand and I'd feel the same, especially if it was getting in the way of progress and in this case, longevity of the football club itself.

The only stand I can even consider in Australia would be the ladies stand at the SCG and even now it is starting to look ridiculous...

I like it when you say 'getting in the way of progress' and dismiss 100 years of history, you ignorant clown.

For 45 of 100 years used by no one other than Bill Lawry’s lost pigeons.
No bigger on here than you!

You're the ignoramus that doesn't know the history of the grandstand buddy.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

How many bricks have been removed so far?

 

[Wooden Robot]

Spoken with your usual overflowing dose of surliness, bitterness and contempt for anyone else's opinion, as if you are an authority.
And then revert to your usual school kid-esque name calling.
Embarrassing.

You're the clown that called me a clown. You have no idea of the history of the grandstand either.

Read your post to partycorolla and tell me who called who a clown????
You're a deadset embarrassment who tries to derail threads on the Richmond board and elsewhere with your self-righteous nonsense.
Can't wait to the derelict and decades-long eyesore comes crashing down. It's been a blight on the club and suburb for too long. We deserve better.

'Decades old eyesore' shows exactly how ignorant you are. Look up the history old timer and stop being an abusive prick.
