With this success as a springboard, Collingwood secretary, Gordon Carlyon, started negotiations with the Collingwood council to provide for further improvements to the ground. The maximum seven-year leases granted by local governments did not give the football club enough security of tenure to proceed with the grand plans that were being laid down. Carlyon was unsuccessful on several approaches to council until a technicality was found in the Local Council's Act. Clause 237 allowed Collingwood to take a long-term lease over the ground provided the club agreed to provide for major improvements to the site. Carlyon first approached the council in 1955, but they voted 14–1 against the proposal. The following year Carlyon sharpened his approach and took a new, even better plan to the council and once again the council voted 8–7 against. Carlyon asked one of the dissenting councillors why he voted against the proposal and was surprised to discover that seven of the eight councillors were concerned that they would lose their free entry to Collingwood home games if the football club took control of the ground. Within weeks Carlyon returned to the council with the very same proposal and a handful of social club memberships which turned the vote 14–1 in favour and Collingwood was then set up with control of its own home ground until 1996.<sup id="cite_ref-Victoria_Park_Timeline_11-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Victoria_Park_Timeline-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-History_6-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-History-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Vic_Park_7:_The_1960s_Makeover_7-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vic_Park_7:_The_1960s_Makeover-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Vic_Park_6:_The_Social_Club_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vic_Park_6:_The_Social_Club-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ground_improvements">Ground improvements</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Victoria_Park,_Melbourne&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Ground improvements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bob_rose_stand.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Bob_rose_stand.jpg/220px-Bob_rose_stand.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Bob_rose_stand.jpg/330px-Bob_rose_stand.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Bob_rose_stand.jpg/440px-Bob_rose_stand.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3888" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption>The Bob Rose Stand in 2009</figcaption></figure> <p>The social club, now known as the <a href="/wiki/Bob_Rose_(footballer)" title="Bob Rose (footballer)">Bob Rose</a> Stand, was the first to be completed.

Opened in 1959 as the S A Coventry Pavilion after Club champion and then President Syd Coventry, the stand has undergone several internal and external changes to eventually become the Bob Rose Stand. This made up Collingwood's social club and administration base until 2004. Most of the spectator room was standing room only on concrete with some seats inside the social club on the second floor. Administration was on the third floor, above the social club.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bob_Rush_(Australian_footballer)" title="Bob Rush (Australian footballer)">R.T. Rush Stand</a>. Completed in 1965 this grandstand was the first of its kind for a suburban ground in that it had a cantilevered roof which meant there were no pylons restricting some of the patrons view of the oval. The ground stand spanned the entire 'outer' on the southern side of Victoria Park from the Sherrin Stand around to the corner of Bath Street and Turner Street.

This area was reserved mostly for the Collingwood cheer squad and other Collingwood members. It is located behind the goals and is on the right hand side of the Bob Rose Stand. The stand is partially under cover with several rows of seats from the fence in the open.

Completed at the end of the 1929 season, this stand was built by sustenance workers from Collingwood as way of elevating the desperate poverty and unemployment that plague Collingwood from the mid 1920s. The seating is wooden and later had some plastic seating corporate boxes installed at the front of the grandstand. It is located on the left hand side of the Bob Rose Stand and opposite the R.T. Rush Stand.
