The historic "Bryan Mace Grandstand" at Frankston Park has been destroyed by the fire this morning. Reports say a passing motorist noticed the fire in the grandstand around 2:30am today and called the firefighters and when they arrived the grandstand was well ablaze.
It is believed to have caused $1million damage. Arson is suspected.
Very sad news?

I do wonder about the "[i]reason[/i]" for the fire. No doubt there will be something bigger and better built in it's place and also it would be CRAZY not to incorporate St Kilda's new facilities in the new design as well.
Hopefully both Clubs get what they want and require from this um, "[i]accident[/i]".
Your right Tess hopefully the club will get what they want from this.
I personnally would love to see a replica of the old stand, that could hold the some amount of people. It is great to see so many people (mainly familys) use it during the year and when local finals come along
just scrolling through the Frankston website and saw the list of Auction Donors for the Grandstand fire fundraiser, one interesting one is Coburg Tigers FC. Good on Coburg for starters for helping out. But how much fundraising are they doing for their own grandstand?
