As always, all images from my usual source at another forum.

The new Bob Fulton Stand - putting the grand back into stand:

Does anyone know what the plans are for canteens etc? Will they get new canteens as part of the new grandstand and will they keep any of the existing canteens etc?

Also am I right in saying they are supposedly getting a new fence around the ground aswell?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Crowd noise should reverberate nicely under that great big roof. Ma-nly, Ma-nly!!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

For the Better Robbo:

Yes, a new fence is on the way. The CoE’s seating terracing impinges on the existing playing surface by about 3m*, which means they’re installing a new fence at that end. The rest will follow before next season.

As for kiosks, I think advice previously posted mentions that the CoE will have good and beverage outlets. The other ones elsewhere in the ground will still be here for the foreseeable future.

*In turn, the marked out playing surface might move a little further to the south.

From the same source - work is underway (in the distance) on new car spaces at the back of the JT Stand.

The grass isn't looking great ;-)

Gee, a new carpark is even more surprising than a new stand haha

15 more spaces. It’s all happening.

As it waved goodbye to its fans and critics.

We are more interested in fixing up our defence.

If you zoom in you can see the ground markers in the dirt...can not be good for it?

New playing surface underway. Some of the flogs at the likes of the SMH and Rupert’s Fake News Ltd will have to start changing their tune.

So that's why when I tried to walk into the ground this afternoon late it was all closed up. How good that the old girl is finally getting the work it needs.

Tis coming together nicely.

Oh and also...

The building of Manly’s new high-performance centre and northern-end grandstand is well under way at Brookvale Oval. Even better news is that the cow paddock of a playing surface is being re-turfed.

It'll be nice for you guys 'n gals to get to Brookie (4 pines) again. 🙂

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

And yet several other playing surfaces out there ‘perform’ far worse than Brookvale’s and never cop a mention.

 

[mave]

Geez I bet Morris is glad he retired, looking at that surface.

Living in Qld its been a while since I have been to Brooky. Can anyone tell me when me what the existing grandstand's toilets and canteens etc are like? When is the last time they had any kind of renovation?

They’re pretty good. There are plenty of toilets in the new section of the Jane Try and presumably some upstairs for the corporates, possibly another set at the southern end; at least three lots in the KA; a decent sized set under the F-M and the two blocks behind the hill. The latter (like the others) are well maintained and have had renovations in recent times. The CoE will no doubt include more toilet facilities for patrons.

The old men’s dunnies in the northwestern corner are still there, but I haven’t seen it opened for patrons for several years.

As for canteens - both ends of the JT; under the KA; a small kiosk under the eastern end of F-M (maybe for booze, can’t recall); the hill’s beer hut and whatever new facilities go into the CoE to make up for the loss of the scoreboard canteen. Then there are your mobile coffee vans etc, plus several merchandise outlets, at least one of them a permanent facility under the KA.

I would surprised if all other suburban grounds are as well catered for.

They could have sold the old surface by the square metre to fans ... I would have bought a few to plant at home
