Standing at wind-swept Williamstown on Sunday, I wondered why they had never grown a thick hedge along the length of the Morris St side of the ground.
Although the wind was blowing from the other end of the ground. The proposed grandstand behind the goals is a bloody good idea.

Time to upgrade the facilities around the Scoreboard pocket? At that corner of the ground, under the scoreboard is a basic kiosk and toilet block.. Perhaps the block could be a re-structured as a two level building capable for the ABC to telecast out of.
BOX HILL
Run a bulldozer through it :D
Nah seriously, they've done ok building that change room for themselves, would be nice if they put some shelter up for the supporters though and also narrowed the ground!!!
Northen Oval - Ballarat
Time to stop letting cars into the ground. They have the room and location to build quality setup on the wing opposite the current stand... Either partially covered terracing or better, they have limited housing next to the ground, so they should have few problems getting a permit to build.
It's one ground that could be the best in the comp.. They already have good facilities on one side of the ground, as well as lighting (did they play any night matches this year?)
Some long term ideas being discussed for Box Hill are ;
-covered seating over the new home rooms including a new social club area.
-redevelopment of the social club into coaches boxes and stats/media area.
A lot depends on Hawthorn's requirements with the Waverley development in mind , the involvement of the Eastern Ranges and (hopefully) the relocation of the cricket club allowing further development of the surface for AFL/VFL/TAC pre-season use.
I should also mention the recent installation of lights at City Oval that put it very close to match standard. It has made training an absolute sensation. Fantastic effort by the club and the council.
Very , very unfair of you Dale......the fact that each wing is in a different time zone is currently beyond our control !!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Cramer st could do with a decent toilet inside the ground!!!! The toilets at the cramer st end of the ground are ordinary to say the least.
The rest is ok, good food prices, grandstand seating is good.
Terrific ideas here. Whilst the current social club offers a great view of the ground, its kinda small and could use some more historic pictures etc. For after matches, it can get pretty crowded.
For other functions there, it's great when they open up the back rooms.
Anyhoo, a new social club would be ideal for the long term.
I also think changing the current social club into coaches boxes is a good idea. Offers a better view and probably better facilities.
Whilst the stats are currently done in the social club, it's not closed off and other noise can be an issue as well as taking up space in the social club.
A designated area would be pretty cool.
Coburg -
A small steep grandstand on the western wing would be great, and would help develop that car-park wing.
Has there been any news on the situation with the existing stand down there?
Onslaught what's wrong with the terrace area? It's a great place to stand and watch the footy!
Last time I was there (3 weeks ago) a fair bit of repair work had started on the stand rebuilding.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the cricket club dispute.
Dont get me wrong.. I still stand there as well.. but they could make a mini stand at the back of the terracing only need to be a few rows..
Good to hear the Stand is being repaired.
