ZiggaZaggaAthletic Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 So threads about the new stand aren't all over the place, similar to summer transfer movement thread, any news you hear, any pictures/ videos you get of sign of the first brick being cemented, or corney doing cartwheels across the carpark, post them here.

Lags Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) How old is that section of the ground? Am I right in thinking it pre-dates the Ford Stand?

Going off some of the boneheads that used to frequent that stand, I'd say it's around the late pleistocene era, possible the gelasian stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I thought the Ford Stand was built on to a pre-existing paddock ie the bit left in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
