'Footscray End' @ Etihad
Peter Hanlon - The Age - 24 March
Former Bulldog Brad Johnson promotes Etihad Stadium’s ‘Footscray End’.
MINDFUL that there's no place like home, the Western Bulldogs will send a makeover team into Etihad Stadium this year, inviting fans to pack the ''Footscray End'' of the ground and make enough noise to raise the roof.
In an initiative aimed at creating a home-ground experience that will bring a sense of the Bulldogs' Whitten Oval history to a venue the club believes will play host to a successful future, the loudest nod to the past will be made by the Hyde Street Band, the brass outfit synonymous with football at the old Western Oval.
The band will take up temporary residence in the forward pocket at the Lockett End, which will be rebadged the ''Footscray End'' for Bulldogs home games.
