Brookvale Oval – redevelopment over the off season? ..!!

Brookvale Oval – redevelopment over the off season? ..!!

Well some old wooden benches (from the 1970 vintage) - the benches around the ground (North/East corner) were being replaced (in the last few weeks) - wait for it …. replaced by wooden (same style) benches – yeah !

But more exciting news I believe the broken electronic scoreboard for over a year? (or is that now 2 years broken?) – is being replaced by a new screen that will also hold a TV Screen in it as well (for replays !). We now don’t have to truck in a mobile rented TV screen on a truck for the TV replays anymore? ..!!

Also we got a new bubbler on the hill ( … each bubbler gets a name of a former player). This one will be known as the ‘Stewy Davies bubbler’, to go with the Terry Randall & Alan Thompson bubblers !

These arethe new Brookie improvements made in the off season !

I heard we also got a new pie warmer for under the canteen under the Jane Try stand and also a new soap dispenser in the mens toilets.

Also, they have added a switch in the Manly sheds that turns off the hot water in the visitors showers.

I didn't think Brookie had hot water?

What? Hot water for the bubblers. That's the first Carney joke isnt it?

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Who is this Stewy Davies you speak of?

 

[MadMarcus]

Especially not in the visitor sheds. No wonder it hasn't been a Fortress for a while...

 

[Under the Sticks]

Who is this Stewy Davies you speak of?

Your Welsh cousin who was a rugby convert from Pontypool who trialled with us in 1984 but fell in a Bookie Oval pothole and did his ankle which was ironic as he had dodged pits for years...don't remember him?

I think you have your showers and bubblers mixed up @Bearfax

Relax feathered friends I have been assured the ticket boxes outside the ground will be updating their operating system to windows 1.1 and the company supplying the security guards will no longer be allowed to use 457 visas

I heard the sausage rolls will have 10% more meat.

I was hoping that they weren't "overcapitalising" before they tore it down and rebuilt but history tells me I'm wrong...

10 mil does not go far these days

Ahh that’s why we didn’t sign Carney - too many bubblers already. I mean, what would we call his - the bubbler’s bubbler? Don’t think anyone would dare drinking from that one!

[for you @Bearfax]

Manly released him to clear the Cap

We should run a poll to see how many more years we will play out of Brookie.

I hate to say it but it can’t be many more.
