No, its a crap ground in may ways - ground tier too flat - top tier too far back (see first point) - there is f*ck all to do near the ground - it has the soul of a ginger child On the plus side it has a train station.

Mate its not made for rugby league either, its a f***ing disgraceful ground initially built for watching track & field, then poorly modified post Olympics. I've been out there for union, league, AFL and cricket - not once have I enjoyed it. The precinct outside is sterile, and like you say it is...

haha so my memory isnt failing me after all, well picked up :)

I'm not sure where the debate has wandered to here, so to keep it short - my point was that shitty crowds dont always spell a death knell. we got through it at the swans.

Yep I agree they are underwritten by news corp. They probably realise they need a presence there to seem credible from a national perspective. And I guess there are 8,000 melburnians a week at least who dont reject it so maybe too early to write it off. Remember league attendances arent massive...

It's relevant to the conversation - if you flick back a page on this thread Finders said 9,800 people at the Storm game showed 'conclusively that RL is not wanted in Melbourne'. My response was that the swans got similar shitty crowds back in the late 80's/early 90's when I first started...

Late 80's/early 90's, 12k was it? I remember some really low crowds back then though. On the upside it was really easy for my Dad and myself to get a seat next to the Swanettes :thumbsu: You're right, a few granny wins would do wonders.

I remember people saying exactly the same thing about the swans in the early 90's when our home crowds averaged 8,000

Every season these threads make my brain hurt as the same blatantly obvious observations are repeated (AFL get better crowds than league blah blah blah), i have never read one of these threads and learnt anything other than which posters on here are the most boring repetitive c**ts. Melbs is...

That's one of the amusing things about Big Footy - a forum more or less entirely devoted to blokes devouring pointless stastistics that no other human being on the planet aside from big footy members could give a flying f*ck about :D It's addicitve.

I dont know anyone who thinks he's going to be a star from his footballing skills. He is paid a star's wages because he is an advertising gimmick, not a great , or potentially great, player. That is what the AFL is paying him big bucks for, brand exposure in a league/union state. That was my...

I take it you are just guessing this what goes on? i'd love to get some proof of this.

guilty as charged! :p geez i must be going to the wrong games. the Cronulla cheerleaders just dance like.....dancers. as a paid up member im going to demand more depraved sex hound like entertainment next AGM. seriously though while i think its tacky, you have to draw a very long and...

thats the tripe wheeled out by Demetriou and co to stop people complaining about the ridiculous salaries being paid to these lemons.

it proves that the NRL isnt a good breeding ground for AFL players? is that what you are saying? League players are shit at AFL, AFL players would be shit at league. hardly front page news.

casting my vote in the NSW state elections last week i was bloody annoyed to find no Demolish Homebush Stadium party on the ballot

now that would be entertaining!

why ban this thread? i think its a good thread topic to get everyone to realise ignoring her is the best option.

then she will become Martyr of the Sl*ts !

mate you are spot on, as soon as people stop taking notice of her she will disappear. the abuse just validates her shit stirring stance. people are letting themselves get wound up by her, so she wins by virtue of the fact that attention is her oxygen. ignore her and she shrivels up and fades away.

is she directly interrupting viewing? people getting angry at her presence because they dont like her is generally their problem. she wouldnt count as a menace to society. by the way I'm not defending the tart, Im just looking at the practical side to the argument.

well legally she isnt being a public nuisance just by turning up to a public gathering and having some old bloke film her, legally she has as much of a right as your or me to attend a public event. maybe the ground could have her banned but again they would need to provide a reason, and it would...

just getting their excuses in early mate ;)

Sydney had the 'Menage Swanettes' for years from the late 80's well into the 90's. Cant believe there is no google images of them, they used to wear white cowboy hats and boots, red jackets with 'Menage' sponsor across the back and little red skirts. As a young testo charged teenager at the time...

Excuse me this board is all about meaningless technicalities and statistics! Last season someone (cant be arsed finding the post) claimed global dominance of Collingwood as a football club because of something like 'highest cumulative attendance across 2 consecutive rounds of home & away...

lol i thought they were called Saints because of 'Saint' Kilda the bloods is a far better name, shame Sth Melb/Syd never stuck with that. an old rugby league team up here called Newtown were known as The Bluebaggers (blue jumpers) until they got the american rebranding of the Newtown Jets...

international league is shit these days. not sure what to make of the paltry limited overs crowds at the moment. im using my cricket late passes for the ashes games, couldnt care less about Sri Lanka in all fairness.

lol [ waits for embarassing mardi gras pics to be posted ]

:thumbsu: :cool: yes yes yes for the love of f--kin god i agree. the only thing that worse is when certain posters talk about how we are somehow achieving some kind of global recognition for it because of average attendances. pass me the bucket... melbourne turn up in droves for everything, its...
