True, but Tassie is (geographically) about 20 or 30 times the size of Adelaide. That therein lies the problem. Whether you play in Launceston or Hobart, more than half the state lives too far away to go regularly. If everyone lived in Hobart, there would have probably been a side there in the 80's. But the population is too spread out (and declining), the economy is a complete joke, living standards are the lowest of any state, so people have less money to spend on luxuries like football memberships and the government is too busy worrying about the unemployment problem than being bothered spending $30 million on a new football stadium.
In short, no club would be crazy enough to want to move there. It would be like the Swans packing up and moving to Newcastle.

Don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of seeing interstate supporters always calling for Victorian clubs to fold, merge, or relocate.

It is no more than a 2 hour drive between Launceston & Hobart. How far away is that? It's around 4 hours from Devonport to Hobart. Mind you Melbourne supporters would find it to be a huge distance seeing they can't travel about 2km to Optus!Originally posted by Rob

What crap! Low living standards? Well bugger me, I've just moved to a hell hole then! The living standards are better than they are in Melbourne.Originally posted by Rob

Yep, without doubt it's the end of the earth. And soooo far away isn't it? I mean it takes at least 55 minutes on the plane. How far away is Perth again?Originally posted by Rob

I didn't realise you had finally payed your licence fee and therefore had the moral ground to be talking about AFL handouts.

Clubs like St Kilda, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Geelong should be trying to get relocated

Geelong?? They're just fine where they are--they're the team for Vic.'s second largest city. As far I'm concerend they're as important to the concept of a National Comp as any "interstate" team. Besides, on supporter strength I'd have thought the fourth team'd be the Dees, certainly not Geelong.

Provide evidence that Port has payed back their licence fee. The facts are that they recieved a concession, i.e a monetary handout, in that they did not have to pay the licence fee when due. i.e a loan. interest free.
Who is the idiot who cannot see this.
Porthos raised the issue of Victorian clubs recieving handouts not me. I just reminded him of this fact.
