Heritage Grandstands at SANFL Venues?

[smac]

no one mentioned Adelaide Oval yet?

About to be destroyed

Im now the proud owner of the "Bar*Toilets*Food" green sign from the Mostyn Evans Stand, wife aint impressed but I love it!

too late for the about bit haven't they already started?

Takes a long time to prep for taking it down safely. But there's no turning back, that's for sure.

The Prospect Grandstand was built in 1924 so would be worthy of a guernsey. It's almost the same age as the Thebarton One. The Norwood one at the Parade end would be pretty old as well I'd imagine. The original Alberton one I think pre-dates them all.

Well LL - unless it gets an immediate listing the old stand I'm afraid will soon be condemned to history. Providing the redevelopment plans get approved as expected, the old stand will be knocked down in October this year!l

Pretty sure the Williams Family Stand, as it's now known, goes back to before WWI, around 1908.

Was closed in the early-80s for safety reasons.

Puzzles me why heritage terrorists hold sports clubs/organizations hostage over grandstands/grounds?

They have no heritage value. None whatsoever.

If only Adelaide Oval could be properly redeveloped into a world-class facility...

Smac will that whole side of the ground be out of action for the anzac game?

They would probably use the changerooms and maybe the timekeepers box and coaches box.

The H Y Sparks stand at Glenelg was built in 1921 and opened at our first game at home agaisnt North on May 21.

I don't think it is heritage listed.

Needs to be renamed too, stuff having it named after a councillor (IIRC).....

I went and had a look at the Kensington Oval stand, and it's the one I remember. It was opened on the 23rd of January 1965:

Is that simply related to the place where you have chosen to hang your new piece of memorabillia?
