Re: Richard Pratt Stand...

To us it was always the ugly stand that didn't meet up with any of the others

Thats wierd too because I only noticed it not long ago. I thought it may have had something to do with him becoming president...am I correct or did they already have it named after him?

 

[MBIB]

I don't know when it was officially became the Pratt Stand but I can always remember the name being on there

 

[Captain_Carlton]

I'd say then it probably has been named after him for a long period of time.

Speaking of stands, I heard from someone that they will be naming a stand (not sure at which ground) the Mike Sheehan Stand.

Early '80's IIRC.
Not a bad place to watch the footy from.

Are you saying the stand was built in the early 80's HBF?

I'm sure it was built in about 1978.

Been there for ages and ages....

It became the Pratt stand after Hawthorn left. You could argue it was always called the Pratt stand.
