Catman said:Hobart, the foundation is already there. Footy doesn't have to be developed down there, they have two quality grounds - York Park and Bellerive (Not sure whether Bellerive is suitable for footy though) and have the support, evidenced by the attendances at the AFL matches played at YP. It wouldn't take as long to take off, as it has in non-AFL cities such as Brisbane and Sydney.
Quality grounds? You've really exaggerated the definition of 'quality' there. Neither holds over 20,000. And I think someone mentioned a few months ago that York Park has the grand total of 3 corporate boxes.
Unless they charge $100 a ticket a game, I'd be surprised if Tassie could fund an AFL team without a lot of infrastructure development.
