VIctoria Park looks a ripper >> key to its success Bars and Restaurants in its surrounds (even shops etc)

Agree- a nice precinct - a hotel to stay in, shops, bars etc. Although they'll want to avoid a dockland's situation - that place is desolate.

75000 at Carlton v Pies - whilst a decent sized crowd - a bit dissapointing - Carlton home game doesn’t help given how they are going - first crowd between the two since covid below 80000.

On the news the other day they interviewed an ex premier Newman?…was leading a group of local greenies trying to have the construction stadium stopped and built in another location. Has this gained much traction or still making any noise?


It will be like the Albert Park protesters - they'll ...

This will be a massive injection for AFL - a brand new state of the art stadium. I still think they will have a SoO there - maybe in the first year to showcase it - plus the extra revenue they would get from ticket sales. Maybe it will be a weekend of sport - a celebration - with AFL, NRL. Maybe a ...

So in reality it was bucketing down rain for the AFL game and Sunny for the NRL game



Definetely not bickering down for suns game - in fact it rained only in the morning . On Sunday - where I’m at - it rained later evening - in fact went for a nice walk and coffee that morning around ...

So over 13000 - on a cold and sometimes rainy day (I was freezing - did have a jumper but should havce put a t-shirt underneath) - although a touch of sun came out later in day - which funnily enough Gerald Wheatley commented on in the broadcast on SEN - was late in the game as was directly ...

so a local derby the Queensland Cowboys vs Gold Cost titans drew 13,382k

the Suns vs Melbourne who are not a big club 13,062K

bit by bit by bit the AFL grows!

deep down your this and shit scared from that!

At the Suns game - told they’re expecting 12000. Looks about at least that - but I can have my usual standing spot without any issue so tells me not a big crowd.

SUNDAY FTA FOOTY

NRL 476k
AFL 306k

Split scheduling and overlapping games really needs to be fixed by the AFL on Sundays.

Every man to his dog compain about this - there's an easy fix - so must be a reason the AFL persist?

The Pies V Suns game - cost me $125.00 dollars for a concession ticket for my son. Cheapest seat available. I get mine for free as a member - even though it is ticketed only.

Looking forward to the Expansion Cup this weekend with Greater Western Sydney having never lost a game against the Gold Coast at home.

Hence I said bi weekly ….

Freddy, there will never ever be a team in Darwin or Newcastle. And the only chance Canberra has is if the Big Dill moves GWS there lock stock and barrel. And they'd still be solely reliant on fumblehouse for their existence.

The AFL is maxxed out pal. No further fulltime 'expansion' will ...
