    Lakeside Oval 1978

    Found this short YouTube footage of the Lakeside Oval showing the wooden grandstand and outer scoreboard. Think it's a scene from the tv show Cop Shop edited with tune "Lakeside" from Australian Crawl. Very cool!

    P.S. I think this would've been a good pre-match sing along if we were still playing there in another universe!

    Thank goodness that grandstand is still there, although slightly different now.

    Cockatoo etched in my memory as a young child. When it started dropping the magic word too often around women and kids, bar attendant would put a blanket over the cage to shut it up. Early sixties I reckon.
