National Trust finally gets involved in the demolition plans for Jack Dyer Stand

21/04/2021. 
The Age Newspaper has reported today that the National Trust of Victoria will be looking into the demolition plans of the Jack Dyer Stand in part of the plans for redevelopment of the Punt Rd precinct. A spokesman for the Trust said that the stand built in 1914 may carry significant historical value to the area and warrants further investigation. The Richmond Football Club has not released a statement on the current developments. It is our position that we believe the historical value and significance of the stand has far outweighed the need for non core business expansion and further facilities for new teams. Not on this site is where we sit said a spokesperson for the Richmond Tigers of Old committee who have been lobbying.for the museum to be reopened and for the Richmond Football Club to respect the history of the club. This is very much in line with our determination to not let this happen to our great club,the spokesman added. 
The petition is still active and we ask that you keep sharing and put further pressure on the club to abandon these ludicrous plans. It’s irresponsible historically, spiritually amd financially the spokesperson said.
