I missed the glory days of the 80s, but I am glad I am old enough to have gone to PP and see the Blues week in and week out for a good few years.
It still hurts thinking about what we have lost when we moved away, like a little piece of the clubs spirit/soul. I am sure it is repressed somewhere deep down in most of us, probably even worse for the old boys/girls.
I have always thought though that once the club does clear its debt, along with a few of the benefactors, the gov't and AFL they could look at rebuilding the majority of the ground.
Leaving the Legend's Stand and new facility in tact, surely a 2-tier stand the rest of the way around the ground that links in with the 'look' of the Legend's Stand could be constructed and give us a 35k home ground. We could play 6-7 home games a year and be laughing all the way to the bank. play the remaining blockbusters/big drawing teams at the G against Pies, Dons, Tiges, Hawks?
Maybe I am also dreaming OP...
