Was my first question answered? NoTuggers moved to the ‘G 35 years before Collingwood
Narrm were kicking possum skins filled with Magpie entrails through the big trees at that site 50,000 years ago.

Tigers’ plan to tear down historic Punt Road stand gets thumbs up from council
www.theage.com.au
The council voted unanimously to recommend Richmond’s proposed redevelopment to Wynne who has the final decision because the redevelopment requires a planning scheme amendment.
“This development really represents the future,” Lord Mayor Sally Capp told the meeting.
“Do we keep an empty grandstand as a monument to the history of the ground or do we allow it to be developed, so it can continue to serve the community as a vital, living sports ground?” he said.
“If the MCG had frozen development in 1913 it would not be the incredible sports stadium it is today,” he said. “In a similar way, Punt Road needs to be able to evolve, so it can continue to serve the Richmond Football Club and the broader community.”
Some sense at last.

Disgusting and Jack Dyer will be turning in his grave.
Jack Dyer would be all for it, it has only been known as that for 26 years.
We can always name another stand after him, maybe we can rename the drop punt "The Dyer" in honour of his greatness?
This will just make us bigger and better than we already are, scary for the rest of you.
This is what we are pulling down, what great historic value, current capacity owing to safety, or lack of, is 20 people
All we need to keep is this bit
We can send the rest across to Princes Park if your looking for a "slightly used" stand, no cost we know you guys are struggling a bit?

Cant help but feel most the flogs in here care more about what Richmond does than anything related to their own teams. Pathetic from the minnows, racists and cheats.

So are you, oh sorry I meant, no your are....a hypocrite that is.
In January 2006, Graham Smorgon, then-president of the Carlton Football Club, announced a A$67 million redevelopment proposal involving the demolition of most of the stands, returning much of the ground to parkland and the establishment of club training facilities and community centre
Poor Robert Heatley must be rolling in his grave
Why are Carlton supporters so upset and angry about this? Surely they should be enjoying their week or 2 in the top 4 rather than aping Collingwood and Geelong supporters in persisting with their single minded focus on all things Richmond.
The part of your question that ended with "Or even a VFL game for that matter?"
What part of your question and my response are you having trouble with?

We are getting one .... on the taxpayers dime no less. Cheers for your contribution Postcodes
Hey Bivalves, I just thought that while your waiting to drag more money from the poor Vic tax payers maybe the old JDS would work for the Cats as a fill in, its limited to 20 people these days so will probably only be useful for Geelong after half time but waste not want not.
I did noticed Hawkins was totally mind f@cked by that s**t smelling wind blowing down through where the old Ford stand used to be, he was asking a teammate what that horrible smell was, I've heard the answer was "its just Geelong, mate."

The part where you are a serial knob troubles us all....
The bit where you pretend Richmond didn’t move to the MCG 35 years before Collingwood, duh
I just answered a question you asked about when we last played a VFL game at Punt Rd?
As for moving to the G, of course we moved before Collingwood, the biggest club needed the biggest ground for its future record membership numbers, as usual your club followed us, same as you do these days.
