Same here. Sometimes, a few years earlier, my Great Aunt took me and my cousin to the footy by tram to the Western Oval, and we sat in the Whitten Stand. My Nan, her S-I-L, would fill a thermos with hotdogs, and they would be piping hot for us to eat. And then, at the end of the game, we could run onto the ground to get autographs.Where the Training facility is now. Forward pocket Barkley Street end.
My autograph book has Whitten Snr, Jillard, Darcy Snr, Bissett, and quite a few others from the 60s.
We could also go into the change rooms afterward. I can smell the Dencorub like it was yesterday.
