Dolphin Stadium

[Mr Formaldehyde]

That's the good thing about Bishop Park - it is still the same after three decades. The way local football should be - none of this boutique stadium bs.

Pfffft! Reason nobody goes Cap. 50 metres back to go 3 metres up.

 

[Mr Formaldehyde]

Davies Park has never been a great ground for watching football. The only elevated area looks straight into the sun.

I just like being on the hill at Bishop, plenty of room to move, good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Purtell was the same.

"Hill"

"Nobody" doesn't go when Wynnum play there.

There are always plenty of Gulls supporters enjoying the afternoon out on the grass at Bishop Park. Should try it sometime.

Bishop Park is a great ground. Nearly as good as Dolphin Oval

Being kid friendly has always been the appeal of park footy. Hope the new renos at Redcliffe dont change that

I've spent many an afternoon there Cap. We were well acquainted many years ago.

Looks like Bashup Park has had a bit of an upgrade in the off season with 2 new grand stands on the entry gate side of the field (where the rickity old stands used to be).

 

[The Partisan]

Yes ..saw that myself today when I was there.

Lot of room for expansion at Bashup if they ever need / want to do so.

 

[Brutus]

I saw them as well. It's quite a nice ground these days. They do face the setting sun though so the hill or the pig pen is still the way to go.

Just an update.

New Redcliffe Dolphins rugby league stadium takes shape at Redcliffe

THE countdown is on until Redcliffe Dolphins teams play under the shadow of the new grandstand for the first time, on May 22.

The yet-to-be-named 4000-seat stand is just the start of the Dolphin Stadium project and club president Bob Jones said if he had not seen it, he would not have believed the progress as it unfolded.

“It’s something I never thought would happen in my time,” he said.

Mr Jones said players, staff and fans were buzzing about the opening home game, and he thanked Moreton Bay Regional Council and the Federal Government for backing the project.

“I know they can’t wait to play here in the stadium. We’re talking about it, they’re excited about it and so are we and I’m sure lots of our supporters are as well,” he said.

The club’s football operations manager, Grant Cleal said players already had had a taste of what the stadium’s atmosphere would be like.

“One of the trainers ... thought someone had left a stereo or radio on over in the building site, but it was actually the players’ voices reverberating off the tin,” he said.

“So I imagine any noise made out there will be amplified out on the field, which is pretty exciting.”

KEY POINTS:

■ The western stand is stage one of the Dolphin Stadium development

■ Seats will be installed in June

■ More stands to follow on eastern and northern ends

What would you call the stand if you could? Petro's probably didn't play for the dolphins enough to justify it, but he'd be a well known name.

 

[XXXX Cap]

Troy Lindsay's zillion games and half a zillion Premierships deserves consideration.

Cam Cherry corner.

Thanks! Looks great, can't wait to see it finished!

I wonder how much it will cost totally and whether the Dolphins have put money into it? The leagues club is rich enough. Slowly BRL clubs are moving into the 21st century

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Seating looks to be pretty much in place and looks like the stand will be open for the PNG game in two weeks time (according to the ground announcer last Saturday).

Official opening will be the game against Tweed Heads at the end of August.

Nice. Would be awesome to see something like that down here in Ipswich.
