Looks very impressive ,should be good on a nice sunny day or a cold windy day looking across to bay to Sandy.
But well done Willi,another great asset for the members,supporters and visitors.
As much as I hate them, it is starting to look good down Willy. The surface is excellent and I noticed today that the Curator was working away so Cricket is pretty close.
Just deceptive, or are there not going to be many seats for the public in this new structure? Looks like the social club comes out a long way, maybe only room for a couple of rows of seating??
Yeah...think I'm the only one not in love with this grandstand re-vamp. I recognise the commercial realities...but at the ground most exposed to crazy elements, a large reduction in undercover seating doesn't rock my boat. Reminds me a bit of the Box Hill 'grandstand' now...
Yep when I went past the other day it looked like the ordinay supporter is being shafted as there are very few seats left in the stand.
A covered area next to the stand on the wing would be the best place have some shelter provided for the real week in week out supporters from the vicious winter weather that Willy cops and not just to be provided for the sponsers and hangerons behind the glass at the back of the stand.
lauschie wrote:332 seats in grandstand and great views from function centre where all supporters can watch footy and buy food and drinks during game. so all viewers will be catered for at Willi.
Mate I been past a number of times and I doubt there are 332 seats left in front of the new glass wall.
Even if the amount is correct its still a small amount of cover say for a crowd of 3000 on a wet winters day.
Its always surprised me (Ive been going to Willy for over 60 years)the lack of shelter at the ground and Ive seen some pretty big crowds at Willy over the years even on bad weather days.

wow, thanks blackrocker, great pics, the development is coming along nicely :-)
We play out there on the 18th August...wonder if the opposition rooms are being upgraded?
The facility looks sensational....the ground has one of the best views going
Spoke with Brett Goodes yesterday & he tells me that the opposition rooms are SMALLER !!!
Drove past a couple of days ago and its coming along just fine.
