The Bob Stand is a grandstand at North Sydney Oval. Originally constructed on the eastern side at the Sydney Cricket Ground, admission to the stand cost a shilling (also known as a bob), which gave the stand its name. It is a single-level grandstand with about 20 rows of seating; with an iron roof (painted green), and a clock tower. Redevelopment at the SCG in the 1980s saw the stand taken down, to be replaced by the Bill O'Reilly Stand. The grandstand was then rebuilt in the north-east corner at North Sydney Oval. The stand has a seating capacity of around 1,000 people. The concrete pillars that hold the grandstand up can obscure views from some seats; and it's north-eastern location can lead to spectators in the stand getting the sun in their eyes.
