Article about Richmond Football Club's proposal to redevelop its ground to create a larger playing area, comparable to that of the MCG. This will necessitate the demolition of the Jack Dyer Stand, which will be replaced with a stand of twice the capacity. The club claims that there is no other way to achieve its aims and if demolition is refused it will be forced to leave the ground.
The Jack Dyer Stand was built in 1915 and heritage groups are objecting to the plans, including the East Melbourne Historical Society and the East Melbourne Group.
Also five letters to-the-editor in response to the article.
