Based on my country footy origins, anywhere that has showers that don't give you an electric shock when you touch the tap is considered luxury.

The current state of the 'underneath' could very well be the reason fans can't sit in it atm.Any talk of the club fixing up the Gardiner Stand? (Not talking about underneath/change rooms).
Get it to a level so fans can sit in it, atm it can only be used for player photo opps/interviews.
Make it safe, give it a lick of paint and new wooden chairs in places needed.
Club has made about 8 million profit over the last 3 seasons...

Richmond just knocked down a beautiful stand that was listed, no pushbackThe heritage overlay only applies to the Gardiner stand and it is not something optional that the club can choose to ignore. It's their corporate responsibility.
Doubtful the stand is used by a landscaping company as their offices,The current state of the 'underneath' could very well be the reason fans can't sit in it atm.

also as an oppo fan sitting on the other side can they put a second big screen in the other side was annoying having to twitst my head all the time to look at a blocked screen for replaysI was at the Carlton AFLW semi v Hawks last night.
The lighting is poor, dark areas in the pockets and other areas. Looks good on TV but not at the ground.
The many announcements are so loud it is impossible to hold a conversation.
The video screen shows too many long shots so that when the ball is at the far end looking at the screen does not help at all.
Lack of seating around the ground is a problem. Something should be done to the Gardiner Stand. Renovate or move it out to the Carlton Cricket Ground adjacent.
With the redevolpment of Punt Road it may become the preferred ground for the AFLW.
I was really disappointing they weren’t forced to upgrade the stand, the Gardiner is an eyesore though and needs fixing, having unusable is a bad reflection on our clubIt all needs fixing. But for me, reputationally, fixing the Gardiner Stand is paramount.
Even more important after the feral vandals destroyed their stand.
Disgusting they threatened to leave if they weren't allowed to bulldoze it. I would personally have bitten their hand off accepting their self-eviction, but anyway.
