stadium capacity is currently 5,000 due to upgrades. Rest of the season still has an average double the NRL.

Thanks for that Sooks. I was wondering why it was such a small crowd for your beautiful game. Kinda makes ya wonder why they played the mess out there. Any ideas Sooks???

Presumably the year contract the Dogs have to play there. Either no one thought to try and get out of it for this match, or the match wasnt thought to be significant enough to bother. Matches at Bellerive and Alice Springs in the last 12 months have drawn less

Wow, that's really low crowds in Tassie and Springy. Probably shows that any expansion in the fumbling code is limited to tiny markets that are already converted and don't bring much.

Thanks for the info Sooks. Spot on as usual pal.
