I found your whistling very evocative of what has been lost. Understandable reasons though.

And now all of the clubs are interchangeable, playing out of the same sterile grounds, playing the same ridiculous brand of "runny" as opposed to footy. I hated Prince's Park but found Vic Park an exciting place to go as an opposition supporter.

Grew up in Abbotsford through the 70s-80s Vic Park was just around the corner and was such a central hub for all us kids....watching training, retrieving the Sherrins for the players and going to the games wearing our duffle coats...good one Gezza.

I still remember listening to the last game from the ground on triple M. There is a recording somewhere on the Internet of the siren going for the final time and these blokes in the stand screaming at the sponsors and Eddie.

The public park conversion has been fairly tasteful in preserving some kind of history of the place but I do miss the throngs of people walking through the suburban streets en route to the footy. At least the vfl side & women still play there but it definitely isn't the imposing fortress of yesteryear

Geez Gezza, didn't know you were a wobbler. Sorry to hear that. Dunno if I can keep up a subscription to your channel now...... ;) Used to go there in the day and if the mighty Tigers won, after the game I used to hide my beanie until I was well on the train for fear of getting a Collingwood handshake from a disgruntled wobbler fan. There were some animals in the outer too, it was like a zoo. Although, at the time, I thought rock apes were better behaved!

I went to many games there in the late 80s and 90s and honestly don’t remember that little stand behind the goals at 00:41 & 01:50? Am I going crazy or was that stand knocked down at some point?

Good pick up James, after all these years I should know better. In recent times I do feel Collingwood are a little “they” rather than “we” though.
