Grandstand Fire
On the morning of 13 February 2008 the Frankston Football Club's historic grandstand, named after stalwart Bryan Mace, was destroyed by fire. This grandstand had been there since the early 1930s and was an icon of the local community. It was originally built for the parade grounds of Australia's first World Scout Jamboree. Damage is estimated at over $1million. The rebuilding of the Grandstand was completed in late 2010.
