The chanting at the old Lake Oval when the CS and the members stand were in full voice was awesome.

Having said that, when Melbourne and Richmond were the only co-tenants at the MCG, the CS seats were in the upper tier of the old southern stand, Richmond behind the Punt Road goals and Melbourne on the southern wing.

It was also the time when the CS's had a great relationship, during the reserves game the CS committee would go around and welcome the visiting CS, and in the event of the "run-through" (what they now call a banner) tearing, it wasn't unusual to see opposing CS members helping each other.
The good old days. Really.
