A new electronic scoreboard will be operating for the Round 7 game between Williamstown and Port Melbourne. The new scoreboard will be installed in the next fortnight and the new canteen/bar which is costing $ 270,000.00 will be completed by the end of April. It will be located behind the goals at the tennis court end.
Already over 260 people have booked in for the first luncheon which will commence at 11.00am due to the game being telecast live on ABC TV. Mike Brady has been booked to appear at the luncheon.
Footyman really does make some ridiculous comments - there will be 412 brand new bucket seats in the grandstand - down about 100 but the capacity in the new social rooms is for an extra 300 people.
Also the whole ground has been reshaped for patrons for their viewing comfort.
Never rains at Willi and we only have a "zephyr" of a breeze prevalent at Burbank Oval !!!!!!!
Thanks blackrocker, great pics, seems there has been a bit of progress since I last walked past the ground on the long weekend in March. It was supposed to be finished by now but fortunately the first home game is not until May.
Also, Burbank, that would be just the 'gentle zephyr' that we experience at Pt Gellibrand from time to time that you would be referring to :-)

Will they have a new scoreboard or retain the old one ?
Hey VFA, here's the latest on the old willy scoreboard. It's a scoreboard blog, put together by the Willy scoreboard attendant, Vin Maskall. This year he'll be seated in the grandstand with a laptop!!! Great blog, have a look around.
Looking close to finished. Can't wait to take a look inside.
It might stand out better from Mt Donna Buang!
We'll still be able to watch the passing ships.

Big mistake taking so many undercover seats away. Where will the fans go to keep dry?
There is quite a new raised hill to stand on behind the city end goals thats if you dont get blown away.LOL
